It occurs to me that the rib sandwich may not actually be a sandwich, even though it involves bread. The bread is more like a napkin that you eat. If you've no idea what I'm talking about, you probably haven't been to the South.

Can anyone explain, in Bluesky baby-talk, how to add someone to a block list that I'm subscribed to? In this case, I'm trying to add a jackass (with one follower) to the block list that's been doing a pretty good job of keeping racist bullshit from popping up.

I saw a report that the Chamber of Commerce decided to lobby the President over reducing tariffs, instead of filing lawsuits. I think that the spell-checker must have been broken, since it said "lobby" instead of "bribe".

Just got finished with cataract surgery. Colors are brighter and things are much less blurry. It doesn't feel like a waste of taxpayer money, from my (improved) viewpoint. #DontCutMedicare

The landing page on the Fox News website doesn't have any mention of the April 5th demonstrations. I guess that it's fake news and all of those people in the pictures on the other networks were AI-generated. Technology is becoming pretty convincing!

Cory Booker's speech is impressive, to say the least. Speaking as an older person, I can't imagine having to stand for 24 hours without an opportunity to empty my bladder, much less needing to speak coherently about the state of the country.

So Elon sold one of the businesses he is trying to destroy to another business that he's planning to use to make money from the government, while pretending that the one he sold is still worth the original price. And this is the guy that says he is stopping fraud?

Insulin is now just $35 for a 30 day supply. A great improvement. However, it turns out that the law doesn't tell the pharma companies how to package it, so it's hard to get 30 days worth. As written, my wife's script works out to 41 days worth (2 co-pays). It's the only size package they sell.

Looks like Jamie Raskin has a FOIA request letter that you can fill in and ask DOGE to tell you what they've done with your data. I am guessing that they will be flooded with requests in short order. jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

I got an email at my Gmail account from "Administrator Kylie" asking me to share my calendar and "...Take a step to the website and open the world of magic. Theres always something to pleasantly surprise you with. We have many gifts remaining..." Needless to say, I didn't share it. Nor should you.

If they start selling gold cards to rich immigrants that give them "green card PLUS" privileges, maybe they will offer a discounted version for current citizens that just give the the "PLUS" privileges. #GoldCardFraud #GoldCardImmunity

When I was a little kid, we had dinner at my Nana's. One of her friends had some numbers tattoed on his arm. I stared at them. Then my dad took me aside and explained that is not nice to stare at tattooes because it might make people remember bad things that happened to them. #FuckNazis

I once made a math error when making edibles. I used the percentage of THC, instead of the milligrams of THC. It was STRONG! DOGE made a similar error that converted $8 million to $8 billion. My mistake just got you really stoned. Theirs threatens to overturn the government. I’ll take the brownies.

To be clear, Zelensky was ELECTED to run Ukraine. He is not a dictator as some uninformed oligarchs claim.

I have a Taylor 314CE guitar. It's a nice guitar but it feels almost like I'm about to join a cult when I play it. But then I think about selling it and pull it out of the case to play it, and I'm not as enthused about trading it for something else.
