What a great episode of #RagingModerates with guest @timmiller.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com Scott’s admiration for Tim’s work was authentic and sincere. Great discussion, two of my favorite podcasters in the same episode.

I really enjoyed watching the new Netflix show, “Adolescence”, a technical marvel and tragic depiction of social media’s impact on our young kids. Are you watching it? #Adolescence #Netflix

Oh no @profgalloway.com It’s Roger Daltrey not Richard - lead singer from The Who. And Pete Townshend is still with us.

Ha ha accurate

WTH ? Democrats should be filing behind Rep Al Green to shout truth to power, not joining the Republican www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/p...

So ashamed of my country, President Trump and JD Vance. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

73% of Democratic-leaning voters say the party is doing "too little to oppose Donald Trump," per a @cnn.com poll. (ht: Aaron Blake)

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

It’s important to pay attention to what gets posted on social about the current president. Bot accounts are posting duplicate comments everywhere to try and craft a supportive narrative. Bogus accounts, bogus comments.

How is this not incredibly dangerous to the safety of Americans? apnews.com/article/doge...

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

I find it ironic that @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social only lists these two toxic social platforms to share their live stream. #morningjoe

This seems like a pretty good description of the DCA accident. youtu.be/_3gD_lnBNu0?...

So refreshing. I applaud these Americans

I’m having lots of fun getting back into recording my songs in my home studio. This one is about having that one special person to talk to. garystockton.bandcamp.com/track/call-h...

A spot of volunteerism with The Priority Center in Santa Ana today.

This is a good report for understanding how US small businesses are performing as a whole.

Hit my weekly exercise goal 48 out of 49 weeks this year. That’s three miles Mon-Fri every week for 48 weeks. 3.4 ml per day, that’s 240 days for 739 miles. I walked 2,021 miles in 2021 but injured my feet trying. 3.4 miles early morning five days a week before work feels just right.

If Drumph can pardon Roger Stone, Charles Kuchner, Steve Bannon and Paul Manaford, Joe Biden can damn well pardon his son.

Listen to the deafening silence of me vacuuming our house. #BlackFriday

Well that’s a wrap (except for a few dishes) on Thanksgiving 2024 family gathering. Such a wonderful day with family, new friends, great food and laughter. I hope you all had an equally splendid day as we did. Now, about those calories…
