ScopesTownBoos 👻 @scopestownlib.bsky.social · Nov 15

I'm a retiree in TN w/a wicked/absurd sense of humor. I acquired & displayed memorabilia for Hard Rock Cafe in the 90s. I love trivia & know a little about a lot of things.

I'm good at aggregating info & problem solving. Smart, empathetic ppl are my tribe. I'm occasionally snarky.

I follow back.

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

Is it bad that I see a photo of an iconic building against a perfect clear blue sky and automatically think of 9/11?

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Disagree, but I like both bands. Triumph sounds somehow thinner to my older ears than Rush. Vocals are better, though.

Yes. We waited 45 minutes (no looking at phones permitted) until it came back on so we could watch the ending. 😬

My internet (NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube) went out at the 2 minute warning. Agonizing.

On Friday I proposed to @ohcatrina.bsky.social, and she said yes!! We are #engaged. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with someone who constantly inspires me, encourages me, entices me, and makes me laugh. We've had so many adventures so far and I know even greater ones are in store! 🧵

Good news: The GOP is in disarray over healthcare costs. The public is more concerned about rising health insurance costs than they are about the shut down. NO PAYWALL.

Everything Hat Ever Sent You Is Off The Record @kenwhite.bsky.social · 1d

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
