Over-educated and superannuated. I like old dead languages, ancient history, fighting fascism, the LA Galaxy, the Seahawks, the NWSL, the WNBA, the Rolling Stones, Star Trek, and probably other stuff I haven't thought to mention yet.

The incoming regime is ineligible under the 14th amendment. Therefore, everything they may do is illegitimate. I expect any opposition worthy of the name to point this out at every possible opportunity.

Okay, but there's also the joke that goes: When I die, I want to go peacefully and in my sleep, like my grandpa. Not terrified and screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I'm confident what really mean is, they believe the parts that get quoted to sound like they're saying:

1. Being gay is bad.

2. Men get to tell women what to do.

3. An eye for an eye.

Not getting kidnapped and trafficked out of the country is even a kitchen-table issue, isn't it?

Any day can be the Ides of March if people approach it the right way, now that you mention it.

I was heartened by how quickly my 11th graders reached a consensus on Tom Buchanan being a white supremacist domestic abuser jackassclown last spring.

As a resident of LA County, I agree with and support this.

I still don't want Newsom to be the next president. However, I would enthusiastically endorse him to be that president's Secretary of Trolling.

The couch thing is actually the least indecent thing about him.

The vice president of the United States is a clownish dipshit, Exhibit 64,532

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 2d

Not your point I admit, but do we know who else is running?

Chris Wilhelm @cwilhelm24.bsky.social · 2d

This is a really excellent idea. When the Turd Reich comes to a person's neck of the woods, this is how to get the word out. Our Pravdaesque press won't help.

I gave up on social media algorithms and decided to email a letter about what we are experiencing in Chicago right now to everyone I know, including and especially my Republican relatives who voted for this

My read on Geno Smith is that he got Raiderized especially quickly. Poor soul.

Seems like every year they have a stretch where I'm convinced their window has slammed shut.

I agree with this. I want my students to read for enjoyment, but *what* they read for enjoyment is much less important, I think.

Fake warrants now, huh? 😒🤨

The thing that gets me, which we definitely are seeing with Buttface's health, is that he's the most extensively documented liar in history, and the press just takes his word for whatever self-serving nonsense he spouts.

For once Pedoführer and I agree about something.

Pfft... I ruminate about his death all the time.

I find it lightens my mood. 😛

They're pro THEIR freedom to tell everyone else what to do.

Some of us are annoyed the Raiders' aura never spreads to the Aces. #WNBA
