I mean, aside from completely ignoring the shit part of the video, you're flat out confirming that he does, indeed, see himself as a king.

I don't consciously follow a specific structure, but it's probably closest to 3-act.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My dad was also recently diagnosed, and we're beginning the chemo journey on Monday. Good luck to you.

The way I laughed out loud that he managed to say that with a straight face.

This sounds awesome and I'd read it in a heartbeat.

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

Other women, maybe. Definitely not men.

Bingo. We can't trust them with anything else, why would AI be any different?

mkdbail @mkdbail.bsky.social · 24d

Gross. I'm not spending money on anything with the Trump taint.

mkdbail @mkdbail.bsky.social · 24d

Shockingly low percentage, tbh.

I would literally live without refrigeration before buying that piece of dystopian crap.

Post a duo:

mkdbail @mkdbail.bsky.social · 27d

When I got my real ID in MN, I presented my marriage certificate and the rep side-eyed it like she didn't want to accept it and lemme tell you, the way I cursed the patriarchy for everything and lamented ever changing my name kinda freaked that poor lady out. But she accepted the certificate!

I feel like the best course of action right now and for the next few years is to literally ignore everything Trump, RFKjr, the CDC and the US Fed Govt says about health and medication because it's likely all incompetent, stupid-ass bullshit anyway. I def will not be taking their advice for anything.
