After his latest move to quash all opposition to Trump in his pet newspaper, The Washington Post, #JeffBezos should change the paper's motto from "Democracy dies in darkness" to "Democracy dies right in front of you and I'm helping to kill it." @washingtonpost.com @postopinions.bsky.social

My new favorite thing is millionaires in government who don’t give a shit about me criticizing billionaires in (and around) government who don’t give a shit about me about policy plans and political maneuvers that won’t do a damn thing to help me or anyone I know.

This is the embodiment of FAFO. Maybe when the carpetbagger goes broke he’ll finally shut up.

At least when Stalin purged the military he had the balls to execute them. Trump is never going to impress Putin by just firing people.

Everybody is acting like Mitch McConnell is a hero because he stood up to Trump on one Cabinet nomination. This is the same Mitch McConnell who actively prevented President Obama from nominating somebody to the Supreme Court. He is not a hero, he is an asshole.

Elon Musk is the greatest carpetbagger in all of US history.

Republicans (for the last 50 years): WE CANNOT STAND BY AS UNELECTED OFFICIALS DESTROY OUR AGENCIES AND THEREFORE OUR COUNTRY FROM THE INSIDE OUT!! Also Republicans (for the last 3 weeks): [utter silence as an unelected official destroys our agencies and therefore our country from the inside out.]

Nice to see Trump is above blaming the Democrats for the plane/helo collision near National Airport last night … oh, wait. Nevermind. That’s exactly what he’s doing.

Stopped by my daughter’s workplace to check out a car hiccup she had the other day. Did some routine maintenance while I was at it. Only needs my tool roll, an air filter and a few other things.

Enjoyed a nice 66-mile ride to have brunch eight miles from my house. Chilly but bearable. Looking to be fairly nice this week with afternoon highs in the low 50s.

Instead of saying I'm going to read the newspaper, I say, "Time to check the damage report." I didn't make this up, but no longer remember who first said it or when.

The release of the second Hypersonic Secret EP has been delayed slightly, but it will be out within 60 days. Really looking forward to sharing this batch of songs with you!

Boil water order lifted on Saturday 11 Jan. Not bad for a first-world country.

Now under a boil water order for at least 24 + 48 hours while the city of Richmond figures out how to get water pressure back up to where it's supposed to be. We don't even live in Richmond! Third world problem in a first world city. Crazy.

No matter how many times I do it, I always clench up a little before sending an email to 20,000-plus people. Plus also ... hi.
