Good. Now let's hope "the market" can finish the job

Hmm.

No cheating post the last photo of pet

Start of the F1 season will be a bit later than expected because one of the rookies has put it into the wall onto the formation lap Oopsie

Haven't watched MLS for..well, a while. Tuned in - randomly - to SKC vs Minnesota at 0-3. MLS remains fun, I suppose

Brighton should be in front at Man City. Just missed a sitter

Turns out I can play "Stand By Me" (Oasis, not Ben E. King)..quite well. B7 had been very awkward for me but I think I cracked it.

TUFC today

Dem grassroots should be looking to primary every single one of the senators who voted for the CR. That's if we have any more elections, of course. Sometimes it feels as though we may as well not bother, if they're going to be this meek and complicit

If you think the CR is "deeply flawed" then ..don't fucking vote for it. "I will never ever (etc) vote to shut the government down" means that you'll accept anything. You're a coward.

I'm on my own this weekend. Do I attempt to stay up for F1 qualifying, or do I just go to be at 9.30pm.

What the fuck is Schumer even *for*? At this point he's another of Trump's fluffers

I emailed one of my Senators yesterday to say that he needed to come out and say something strong about Mahmoud Khalil and the egregious lack of due process. I'm not saying this is thanks to me, but..it was @chrismurphyct.bsky.social I sent a message to.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

It's my "sincerely held belief" that people should not act like dickheads, but you don't see me haranguing dickheads in the street. Who has that kind of time

SCOOP; House Democratic leadership continues to be completely fucking useless, more concerned with making sure the place settings are correct, even as the ship sinks into the briny deep @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social

"we're very annoyed at the meteor, so to protest, we're going to go the Meteor Celebration Party. After all, we don't want to look impolite". - Dinosaurs

@housedemocrats.bsky.social one day, in future years, maybe you'll explain how you're so useless at doing your job.

Solidarity with other champions league non-watchers

National treasure. I'm not a royalist at all but they could bring me back a bit if they knighted Rick Astley

Scoring a goal early again means that we're only one more goal from our inevitable collapse.

Ah, that sucks for Dolly Parton. 60 years, though. That's incredible. They both clearly won at life.

I think that Democrats should boycott the State of the Union, which is pointless. Instead, of having a Democrat provide the rebuttal, they should bring in recently fired federal workers to describe the important work they used to do.

Surely the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social can find a way to make this a good thing
