Young Republicans can be from 18 to 40 years old. A lot of these people are staffers for politicians or hold positions in state or national parties or in thinktanks.

These ain't kids. And some are in positions of influence.

Are naked bike rides in Portland things that are really serious? Because he seems to be fine talking about it.

Colin @egnowit.bsky.social · 16h

They've never heard of this before, but they are intimately familiar with naked bike rides and No Kings protests.

One of those facts was more fun than the other.

Positive Idaho content, for once.

A guy who stayed with me for a few weeks at the start of the year was from American Samoa. That's part of the US, so he's an American citizen, but brown. This was before ICE really upped their enforcement, but I told him that he probably should always bring his ID with him everywhere.

He certainly influenced a lot of people to fawn over him in death.

Did they reduce the calories on them? Diet eggos?

(By reducing the overall size of them? I don't buy them, so I don't know if this is what you're referring to.)

I was wondering if this was part of it, too.

Have you run into somebody, or just seen photos?

Colin @egnowit.bsky.social · 1d

Allegedly, they're trying to save money.

Colin @egnowit.bsky.social · 1d

Trying to save money by firing people they're not paying anyway (because of the shutdown).

Or with roommates, going through the bill every month to identify and claim the long distance numbers you called.

Colin @egnowit.bsky.social · 1d

I rarely called anybody, so the only one I know is my home phone (which my mother still has, so I still know it).

When I was a kid, I tattooed the important numbers on me so that I would always have them available.

On what platform? When I do that and right-click, it lets me google something, but I don't see the other options. (I'm guessing this is a Mac or an iPhone thing?)

I had never had an issue with that, but I checked my settings, and "show adult content" is disabled. (Is it disabled by default? I don't think I ever changed it.)

Wow, that's a mishmash of different cultures in one image.
