Pitney celebrates his birthday by being outraged by young people. From texting versus phone calls versus email to fake eyelashes and contour and "a dewy finish," we're telling everyone to get off our lawn!

As an IRS employee married to another IRS employee (with combined 70 years of service) we were not only forced to retire but are now waiting along with THOUSANDS of others for retirement paperwork to be processed. 9/30 was the retirement date DOGE picked. No pay, no retirement. No one cares.

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

Protest can be hilarious and joyful! Remember that on Saturday!

I think there's some use for "conservatism" in a culture, but it's so fully aligned with racism now that it's repulsive to any thinking person. It is the vanguard of cultural decline.

It was impossible to choose an iconic movie poster to show how important Drew Struzan was, so I grabbed a couple collages. He was to art what Don LaFontaine was to voiceover. Absolute legend.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 9h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

As if the things we’ve said about Trump (which are supported by actual evidence) could compare to the things they said about Biden. Or Obama.

But we “hate America?” Fuck off, Mike Johnson.
