Rantings of a prematurely graying simpleton; often profane, always inane. Opinons expressed here are exclusively the product of my warped mind. I carp a lot about politics. You’ll also likely see photos of my dog. He/Him/His #resist

I don’t go a day without reading Jeff Tiedrich’s opinion column. Always profane and often profound, @jefftiedrich.bsky.social skewers the right and exposes GOP hypocrisy like nobody else. Check him out, if you don’t mind your political commentary served zesty. open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

In the 5th grade, dad & I built a Tesla coil for the school science fair, so I’ve known about Nikola Tesla for most of my life. It’s a sad irony that NT was a visionary scientist, and now his name is attached to a company run by a guy who spends more time posting memes than leading real innovation.

The tangerine twit posted this today on his two-bit social media app. This so-called “tough guy” has zero ability to take responsibility when things go wrong, unlike a real adult. Remember COVID? He famously gave himself an “A+” rating on the response. I think 750k dead Americans might disagree.
