I deeply heart the pills but she misses me with the baseball love. I just don’t get baseball. I didnt get baseball when I played baseball.

The “do not mock the speech” directive really raises a lot of questions that are answered by the “do not mock the speech” directive.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

BlueSky is too intense. The only relief I get from the constant stream of crises is @evanbernick.bsky.social’s floof/baby pics and @rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social’s food/athletics adventurism.

I for one am relieved that we fixed mental health.

A dumb accessory to put on an ass is hilarious.

Wow there’s a lot going on here. Not really sure whether they’re implying that “asshat” exists by mere alphabetic similarity to “asshead.” And I’m resistant to that notion.

Is the insult that you are the type of person who wears hats that resembles asses? Seems weird.

Are you the type of person who wears an ass like a hat? Seems not an insult.

Yeah okay so what is an “asshat?”

I get that the hat is an intensifier. An asshat seems worse than a regular ass.

But is it also somewhat descriptive? If so, how? Is the insult that you are compared to a hat that resembles a donkey? A hat that resembles a butt?
