Making music with friends is the only good thing about 2025, also known as the stupidest year to date.

I wish to state for the record that while I am among "We, the people of the United States of America," my federal government's decision to terrorize #KilmarAbregoGarcia is not one concerning which I was consulted. I stand with him and his family. That's me in the corner.

For those keeping track, the budget vote failed again today. If Trump violates the law & does not pay federal employees, it looks like they will all have to pay out of pocket for 100% of their health insurance (which on average is over $2,000.00 per month just for medical, not dental & eye).

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov · 8d

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Nah, she’s about to be financially impacted.

I’m firmly convinced that one worships the god they think others deserve. Some folks want the best for others, some folks want the worst.

This also a fine time to remind everyone that Christian ≠ good.

Trey Ferguson @pastortrey05.com · 8d

We have over 16 centuries worth of historical data on Christians building/aligning with empires and doing awful things to each other and others.

Stop insisting that bad actors are not “real” Christians.

Humbly sit with the fact that many real Christians do not follow Jesus. 1/6

The Amazon.co.uk Best Sellers page for Children's Multicultural Folk Tales and Myths, showing The First Fire of Halloween at No.1. The front cover features a púca, the mythical Irish shape-changer, as a muscular human figure with a goat's head. He's standing in a field in darkness, with a fire blazing in front of him. Inset in the dark sky above and behind him are a pair of yellow goat's eyes. The title is in orange against the sky, and my name is in black against the fire.

Money can’t buy good morals, exhibit number eleventy-billion.

Charles PM @charlespulliam.bsky.social · 15d

Fuckin yikes, man

Some comics were transparent about their willingness to ignore their moral convictions in order to play at the festival. “So what, they have slaves?” asked Tim Dillon in a podcast segment that led to his firing from the festival. “They’re paying me enough money to look the other way.” Pete Davidson offered a similar take, acknowledging in a chat with Von that people have asked him why, given his father’s death on 9/11, he would take a paycheck from the Saudi government. He did not address the criticism directly, but he did suggest he was happy to forget 9/11 for the right price: “I just know I get the routing, and then I see the number, and I go, ‘I’ll go.’”
