Folks don’t remember that cause they were to young or not alive.

By the time you’ve reached your forties you will have lived to see the newspapers that insisted that the country you grew up in was on the verge of social collapse portray those very same years of your youth as a period of blissful social cohesion.

WSJ: “.. one Stretch robot that DHL staff named ‘Johnny 5’ unloads around 580 cases an hour, almost twice the rate of a human unloader.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/log...

More of this, please ♥️

Not for nothing but if Biden had done this it would be a 2 week story.

I assure you, none of them are mine.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

I do not know about the rest of you, but I really wish to God that old guy was still in the White House. Wait, let me be more specific the sleepy one. #missmeyet?

Why are we playing this game? The U.S. called our diplomats and personnel home 24 hours before the strikes. Obviously we knew.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

(Reuters) - On the campaign trail, U.S. President Donald Trump promised to end the world's hottest conflicts and usher in global peace, but nearly five months in, with Israel attacking Iran and bloodshed in Gaza and Ukraine unabated, those hopes are in shambles. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

All this discourse about Bluesky being a bubble or not being a bubble or being a safe haven from Nazism misses the point. None of that is what Bluesky is for. Bluesky is for people posting reviews of Goose shows, shots of very mediocre-looking cats, and gay thirst trap pics.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

I'm posting this at least once a day and so should as many people as possible. As a child of the sixties protests at Columbia where I was pepper sprayed, billy clubbed and dragged by the hair, I know they will plant agitators in order to create the chaos they need to justify their violence. RESIST

I woke up worried about the future. I know, crazy. However, the more freedoms we give away and the more military and authoritarian behavior we tolerate the worse off young people will be.

Oh, this is rich. Steve Bannon is being interviewed on NPR and says Musk is a "national security issue", has a "drug problem" and his "legal status is in question". (cartoon from the archives)

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

Proud dad moment. Congratulations, Gus!

My favorite Italian restaurant figured me out. They sent the most handsome young man - making me look like chicken hawk - to my table. Hints of Patric Mahomes. Smiles on queue, blushes on queue, and gives me the sexy eye on queue. And a sexy deep voice for a youngster. 60 bucks later lunch is over

The June 2025 Playlist: "Gay As Fuck, Generation X Edition." Music that informed, shaped, or merely accompanied the coming-of-age experiences of a gay Gen X-er.

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/n...

“Own it”

This is a crime against humanity. Billie Jean, seriously?!?!?!?

iPhones will NEVER be produced in the United States unless Apple can make them cheaper here. According to Gemini, the average wage of a Chinese worker in the factory was ... $1314 a MONTH in 2021. If you can get Americans to take those good paying tech jobs then have at it.

Two things can be true at once: 1. Yes, older electeds should probably think more seriously about whether it's time to pass the torch, especially if they have serious health issues. 2. No, your initial response to a good public servant dying should NOT be to scream at them for not retiring sooner.

The Tush Push lives.
