Tall, white male working on my privilege, listening more. Father of 3 boys, married to a genius academic. I like efficiency, but also like caring about people. Both are possible! Gen Xr who resents needing "readers" or "my" music labeled "classic!"

I hate that there is a word for this.

The best agents use primary. But tons of work to go.

I mean, look how worthless her Harvard degree has been. It led her to become a soulless mouthpiece dying for the approval of some of the worst people in history.

That would actually be a funny way to subtly troll him all the time. Because you know it would get to him.

I knew a jockey who became a painter. Love when athletes get to show their many sides.

The press has done some good comparisons.
We always knew Trump would do the gold thing eventually. Wonder if he’s going to get Italian marble and a fresco on the ceiling next.

Start the clock now. How long until Cotton has to walk it back, clarify or apologize. Or gets primaried.

They are a solid band. Never disappoint. Hard work ethic. And tons of fun.

Maybe you need to help write or produce it!! Be the movie maker you want to see in the world.

You made me look up “lintel”. I am more educated now.
I’d love to know who makes Lambs Blood paint. I could only find Lambs Wool.

The vote is more dangerous than the gun. If everyone could vote, in non-gerrymandered districts. they could restrict guns, tax the mega rich, and so much more. That is why they suppress.

Someday, when we are all retired, we will play drinking games where we have to stump each other naming all of Trumps scandals, disasters, impeachable offenses, and stupid crap like the sharpie. But right now it’s too depressing.

Wish I could disagree. And sad that these are basic facts we already knew, and yet he got elected a second time.

I still think Elon “creating” a free trade zone with Europe was noteworthy.

Agree. Not funny in the abstract and definitely not funny in specific cases, Ri especially.

Can’t wait to see it. When she teased it on Las Culturistas I got excited.

What about the administration using it as an excuse to loosen endangered species provisions? That was when I started to care.

Wow. Way too young. He was one of those 90s actors who was just in everything. And he was epic in the armored car scene in Dark Knight.

Literally when any dictatorship falls, one of the first things that happens is all the statues are torn down. If your leader is putting up statues of himself…you might be in a dictatorship.

I am a tall, white male. But I don’t buy their version of Christianity or their vision for what MAGA means. So eventually I’ll be on the list. Marco too & anyone else once they outlive their “usefulness”. They all look at Rudy and others in Trumps wake and assure themselves, that won’t be me.

The impulse to rank everything is corrosive. I like how this newest generation of musicians is not playing into the competition narratives as much. Taylor and Beyoncé may privately want to “win”, but they support each other publicly. Same with Billie, Ariana, Adele. Zero sum theory is usually crap

Sorry you have to have all that knowledge. You could have used that space for more saxophone knowledge. But alas, the times we live in. Stay strong.

This man, Mr Pete, believes that people with white skin are better than everyone else. And they should get more than other people. And that other people don’t need to have as much. And that makes me sad. And a dry. How does it make you feel?

I had blocked that out. I think I got distracted when she did that private jet to get her teeth whitened here in Texas to make the worst local commercial ever.
It’s like she played with Barbies and learned the wrong message. It’s not I can play dress up!

The promos with Jon Hamm were hilarious. Hope they sneak you into one skit! You’re going to crush it!!!

Echoing @erlichmanr.bsky.social and others, it really does feel like Barbie. And despite all rules and laws, how long until we literally see a line of dolls where Kristi does all the jobs? These people!!!!

It’s not as dire as I’m writing. But I pick my battles. Last night I just used my rage to fuel my stairmaster time. Jesse Watters dumb words and face resulted in 50 extra calories

They have the TVs suspended from the ceiling. It’s the purple national gym chain. I am almost 6’6” and could reach it. But I’m in Texas and don’t know what will happen if I mess with Fox.

I know I keep saying that on any day one of these people is the worst, but Erik Prince is at a whole, lower level of evil. Hugh Laurie in The Night Manager level evil.

Are you referring to the enabled-Zuckerberg Sheryl Sandberg? Why is she making documentaries? And why would I watch them based on her casual, profit driven relationship with the truth?

Can we at least make them all watch The Americans!

thanks for going on this journey with me. I should have watched John Oliver first.

You're assuming the miners get a full share of the money. I bet most goes to the execs.

Any info on what he read and what he wrote? The Unabomber also read and wrote a lot.
