I’m just a guy. Special Education, dogs, nature, music, records. I’m a cancer survivor, a skeptic, and a believer of science above all. Prefer local DC issues over national politics.
I saw Donell Rawlings perform tonight at the DC Improv. I’ve been home
For over an hour and my face still hurts from laughing and smiling so much.

At my parents house for the holiday. They’re very religious and I found Ginger Jesus in their laundry room. Blue eyes and all. As if.

The media will both sides actual news (i.e. facts) but print vapid op-eds. This one, with a rage bait title, blames schools, and doesn't even mention all the outside forces that have destroyed public education (i.e. politics, poverty, corporate farming, etc.). www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/m...

I'm amazed extwitter rolled this feature out, as it's probably the only transparent thing that has happened there since fElon bought it. @bsky.app should develop the same feature, as it's so much more reliable than any verification feature.
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

I’d take it back to allowing former confederates to remain in government that started this.
Pardoning Nixon, moving beyond Watergate, brought us his henchmen for decades. Democrats aren't being magnanimous about letting bygones be bygones. They are being cowards. Holding people you know to account takes bravery, that they lack. So we need to make them do it kicking, dragging, & screaming.
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

My house needs an emergency colonoscopy. Built in 1948, likely the tree that keeps putting roots into my line is even older.
