Trump is the biggest fraud/conman who’s ever lived.👇

We were out hiking when a thunderstorm suddenly rolled in and lightning cracked in the distance. I wasn't worried, though. In fact, I would have been shocked if anything bad had happened. This joke brought to you by my 14-y/o.

"Concepts," if you will.

It's almost as if he just makes stuff up.

We all know that when recession hits, he's going to call it the Biden Recession.

I feel these polls just highlight the significant number of loons we have in this country, as all of these should be close to 100%

"the dumpster-driving Tesla Cybertruck" LOL

Happy Terry Pratchett Day, on what would have been his 77th birthday.

There are contingency plans for this sort of thing, @duffelblog.com www.duffelblog.com/p/raf-prepar...

On my bingo card I had Hegseth most likely to roll off an aircraft carrier into the ocean

I've been baking my own bagels now for well over a year, a fresh batch every week. And this is the first time I thought to put fresh, minced garlic into the dough before it rises. The result is amazing. Updates as warranted.

You shall not pass!

It's the trade deals that have the price of eggs down 134%

It occurs to me that not only did Trump not drain the swamp, he made it an Federally protected habitat

"Swan of Death" is kind of cool

Let's discuss this on my podcast, which I'm going to call Everyone Has a Podcast.

Yes, you SHOULD read the Murderbot Diaries (at least, All Systems Red) before AppleTV's adaptation airs in a few weeks. It's a true pleasure to read! #booksky youtu.be/TwojNdrP79s

Lather, rinse, repeat

How the hell could anyone look at Fox News posting this and think "yeah, that's real unbiased news." I actually had a loved one message me and say (unironically) "if you'd just watch Fox more you'd understand" how great Trump is.

His mistake was not using Signal to send out the classified info.

How I arrived on Bluesky.

Happy birthday to the Six Million Dollar Man, Lee Majors!

To the folks who recommended @marthawells.com's The Murderbot Diaries to me, thank you. I started listening to the audiobook version a week or so ago, and now I'm ordering the first couple in the series. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed the company of a character like Murderbot. #booksky

Army veteran Kevin Bittenbender and Marine veteran Kirstie Ennis look to set a world record with a 47.5-mile Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim hike at Grand Canyon National Park. Both are missing part of one of their legs.

"Many wary of Trump wielding power exactly as he said he would during the campaign."

The Lord of the Rings Elric of Melnibone The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy All classics. But did these OTHER works by Tolkien, Michael Moorcock, or Douglas Adams slip by you? If so, you owe it to yourself to read these forgotten and/or underrated classic SFF books! #booksky youtu.be/jrpFtd_0980

I noticed what looked like storm clouds on a hike today with the family so I said "I'm not sure we should be hiking under power lines with a looming thunderstorm." My 14 y/o, not missing a beat: "I'd be shocked if anything happened. " I'm so proud. He'll make a great dad one day.

There is now a very real shitpost gap

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

"May I please purchase this fine mule for 3 tariffs please?"

Declaring that America has spent “far too long celebrating people just because they went to some war,” convicted felon and current President Donald Trump officially declared war on the country’s veterans Monday, citing “military favoritism” and “disrespect toward those of us who dared to stay home.”

Nightstalker for the win!

What kind of America do you want? An America that expels people bcuz of their beliefs? An America that detains people bcuz of what they say? An America that grabs people, throws them on a plane, and puts them in an El Salvador jail without any due process? No longer hypothetical scenarios.

Admit it...this doesn't seem far fetched.

I'm in the middle of 3 books that I want to include in an upcoming review video when I casually pick up a fourth just to sample it. Now I don't want to put it down. I think I need to take a year sabbatical from work so I can catch up on this exponentially growing TBR #booksky

Wow.

Suddenly just very curious what the Hulk's blood pressure was when he was angry all the time.
