The announcer on ESPN just said this is "the night after Halloween."
Sigh.

A while back, @paigesp.bsky.social and I realized we weren't getting 25-30 texts from an elementary school every day, so we decided to have a kid. Problem solved.

Anyone mad about that was never voting for him anyway.

I'm not a New Yorker, but the worst these people have on #Mamdani Zohran is "he calls his dad's cousin 'aunt'"? That's it? That reeks of desperation.
I'm a white Southerner and I have so many "cousins" and "aunts" that I don't actually know how and if I'm related to.

The last two seasons I became numb, which was a lot easier to deal with. Now, we're good enough to be sad.

It's the hope that kills you. #HailState

I don't have an emotional attachment to the structure of the White House. I do, however, have an emotional attachment to the real human people who will lose access to food because of #SNAP cuts while we spend bribe money on a faux golden ballroom where the elite will party as the poor starve.

Remember how at the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope, they announce that the legislative branch wasn't meeting anymore and that's how they signaled the final death of democracy?
Science fiction!

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

When I first got on here, I preemptively blocked A LOT of accounts and apparently that was a good idea. I'm not seeing any of the crud others seem to be seeing.

Personally, I think Bad Bunny should have won the Nobel Peace Prize.

May your grass be tread upon.
May your student section be filled with 2%ers.
May your band stumble.
May you lose your rings.
May the beer at the Chicken be flat.
May your yell leaders tell new "jokes".
May you have no one to kiss at midnight.
May Aggietober begin.
#HailState. Beat tamu.

What's that system of government called when the leader goes on television and tells the military to commit war crimes against its own citizens?

As a guy who spends a lot of time talking about how movies affect the way we imagine ourselves all I can tell you is that somebody watched Full Metal Jacket way too many times and did not get the message.

i maintain that heretics & apostates are much more useful terms than "not real christians"

Alex @watts-the-point.bsky.social · Sep 25

@swordsjew.bsky.social did an interview on Know Your Enemy where she advocates bringing back the word "heretic" to describe these types of people. Rather than denying their self-proclaimed faith, call out their reading of that faith as being abhorrent

If all I knew of Jesus was what was on display at that funeral, I'd want nothing to do with him.

There won't be a rapture this week.
This post is evergreen.
