And this is what the perspective of being an old geezer is all about.
It avails us not at all. And that is the final lesson for the old geezers.

It’s the 1990s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see at Ruby Ridge and Waco reflect entrenched practices of law enforcement.
It’s the 2000s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see under the PATRIOT ACT reflect entrenched practices of American law enforcement.
It’s 2025. Guess the fuck what.

The most patriotic thing an American can do is work hard to get Trump out of office before he completely destroys the country.

Brilliant. Trump realizes that the Pint-sized Punisher fucked things up in Minneapolis, so who does he send to fix it?

Senator Rosen's (D-NEV) is on board. LFG, @fetterman.senate.gov !!
Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Yes they do. Don't capitulate. Don't cower. Never give up. Stand tall and proud and fight the fascist regime with a very load voice. We will win and Trump will lose.

Well, the thing that always bugged the SHIT out of me about twitter (on top of the Nazi/misogny/racism), all the "trending" subjects being sports as Trump blew up the world around us, is happening here. Damn it.

Yeah, the Epstein Files, but look, if you're REFUSING TO ENGAGE on ICE in Minneapolis, Greenland, Venezuela (remember Venezuela?) because you think they're "diversions" from the Files...
Even if they ARE, they still need to be opposed. 15 minutes to message your reps: DO IT.

Reading Kropotkin's "The Conquest of Bread," and as I think about his idealization of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution as a cooperative, anarchist organization, I realize that most volunteer fire companies in the US are similarly anarchist.
Which would make them nuts if I said it.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Went to Shamokin, PA yesterday, research for a podcast episode. Honestly, it's a bit of a run-down town, but by God, there's good food & drink to be had, and the people are honest and friendly. Episode coming next week.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

UPDATE: Jack Daniel’s parent co. Brown-Forman tells me it has nothing to do with CBS’ “Whiskey Friday” concept. “Jack Daniel’s is not involved in any such segment, nor do we have any awareness of the segment and any potential partnerships or sponsorships.”
Update — Here is what the new apparent CBS News segment "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil" may look like:
