I like games, books, and the outdoors. Huge TTRPG fan. Used to be really fit but now rocking a dad bod. Doing the best I can in this world. Sharing this life with my wife, our baby girl, two sweet dogs, and a cat that wishes she was still an only child.

MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Eggs UP Taxes UP Gas UP RX drugs UP Dow Jones DOWN Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block. Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.

It does seem misinformation or (almost intentional) ignorance is a major contributor. It doesn't excuse them, but we can hope they'll see reality. Maybe that is just copium 🤷

This is what Project 2025 looks like.

Love this picture of Remus checking on his baby. It was Thanksgiving and we'd only been home a couple days, but you can tell how much he loves her. #husky #AlaskanMalamute #heeler #AustralianShepherd #mutt #100PercentGoodDog

It blows my mind how all of those Greek statues were once real, living people. So much history would have been lost to us without those three incorrigible Gorgons, and I’m so grateful for them

There are many others missing on this list, notably Apple and REI. It's good to track the companies supporting DEI, but I find it hard when many of these companies donated heavily to the current admin (looking at you TJ Maxx group, Meijer, and Kroger). How do you make your choice where to shop?

MC has had a few posts I agree with; this is not one. The federal government is not a business and should not be treated as such. Crazy I know. But reality. DOGE is a puppet organization to push their agenda and deserves no wins, not that I believe they would be willing to work with NIH anyways.

Thought I'd share a picture of our dog Luna adjusting ever-so-well to no longer being the center of attention. #bordercollie #newparents

-Sigh- There goes another one. It might be impossible to have ethical consumption in a capitalist society, but at least we can try to stay informed and make the best choices possible.

Costco really is one of the last great companies left

So much for making eggs affordable. So many of the people who were belligerently supportive of Trump will be the ones hurt. They deserve every bit of what is coming to them. I feel terrible for the people who fought against his reelection that are going to be devastated though.

The joke is on us.

Feels good to be cutting ties to the billionaires by deleting FB, Twitter, and cancelling my Amazon subscriptions. Grateful to have an app where I know they aren't manipulating the algorithm for personal gain. Time to make new friends here 😁

Former DC Metro Police officer Michael Fanone has a message to the Oath Keepers founder who was just pardoned. We share his sentiment.
