Raised where the border is a bridge. I still believe in bridges, between nations, between people. I believe in the quiet power of intelligence, in science, equal rights, equity, and dignity even under fire. Ignorance burns hot, but intelligence burns long.

My first 1000 posts can be summed like this:
tRump is stupid, his presidency is illegitimate so he’s a dictator. Hate and fear and perpetual victimhood are not sustainable. Critical thinking and sound logic is always required. It’s the guns. Release the Epstein files. And never give up hope.

The Bluesky algorithm is like a Bermuda Triangle for my posts. They go in never to be seen again.

You can silence 50 scholars with 1 fact, but you cannot silence 1 idiot with 50 facts.

Breaking: The guy begging for a Nobel Peace Prize just sent a nuclear carrier group to hover off Venezuela.

Nothing says “man of peace” like parking a floating war city next to a country whose fishermen you keep killing, calling them “narco-terrorists.”

Breaking: James Comer says nothing in the Epstein files implicates tRump and in fact there’s evidence of a far closer relationship between Epstein and Bill Clinton.

Comer also said that Area 51 has nothing to do with aliens, and that, coincidentally,
the real UFOs were actually piloted by Hillary.

Things better than the Bluesky algorithm:

WebMD symptom checker.
Airport Wi-Fi.
My Roomba trying to find the base charger.
Windows Vista.
A McDonald’s ice cream machine.
Barclays customer service.
Blockbuster’s digital strategy.
The Fyre festival.
The poop cruise.
Google glass.
Tesla FSD.

Still just the stupid sidekick yelling “you can do it”
…ban vaccines
…bring back measles
…demolish the White House
…sink the narco terrorists
…hide the Epstein files
…shit on democracy
…terrorize our cities
…raise costs
…reduce benefits
…bankrupt our farmers
…tank trade
…close the government

There’s a song called Drivin’ My Life Away by Eddie Rabbitt

Trucker has morals and turns down offering a ride to a girl who’s too young.

GOP rewrite:

Well the truck stop cutie comin on to me
Tried to talk me into a ride
Said I wouldn’t be sorry
I said hell yes because she was just a baby

Warren maybe saying cunt is the least crazy thing this week:
East Wing leveled
Debt $38 T
Gov’t shut
House AWOL
Caribbean airstrikes
Presidential poop video
ICE funded like it’s the NFL
Soybeans rotting
Prices rising
Trade crumbling
But good news: no one’s eating the cats and dogs today.

Owls bob their heads up and down to help improve their depth of perception.

You can try it out yourself. Focus on an object and bob your head. It doesn't work for us, but you do look like an idiot.

BREAKING: George Santos warns New York would be “too unsafe” under Mamdani and threatens to leave.

In other news, NY rats are gathering this weekend to voice concerns over the city’s growing sanitation crisis.

I’ve been on and off social media over the years…mostly off. Bluesky is ok, but I gotta say…that my post yesterday didn’t immediately get at least 10 responses of various ways of saying “chopping broccoli” feels like an insurmountable disconnect. 🤨🤪

Name a song that uses the letter “a” somewhere in its title or lyrics. 😉

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale

To every lifelong Republican who broke with tRump in 2016 and never looked back…respect!

Caroline Levitt says all future press briefings will now be Yo Mama joke battles. “We’re just meeting the American people where they are,” she added, before challenging a reporter’s mother’s GPA.

Wearing a symbol of a torture device seems pretty on brand for her.

Derrick @flippedlogic.bsky.social · 4d

Very true though didn’t LeWitt see the idea itself as the art? I feel like he’d be fascinated by generative AI.

😝 or probably more frustrated by it since it tends to take liberties that weren’t in the instructions.

tRump is like an autoimmune disease. He’s activated the immune system, but half the antibodies attack the disease while the other half defend it.
