I love that they did a screening in LA with the treadmills. If you fell below 3mph, you got the boot and couldn't finish the movie. Great promotional idea.
Mi esposa is *really* digging him. Not only is she a Dallas-born/raised Cowboy fan, but she's got Javonte on her fantasy team.
Watched part 1 last night and loved the context you set about not wanting to be part of his destructive cycle. As someone in recovery (29 years) I recognize the self-absorption of the addict/alcoholic. FWIW, I think your approach is 100% on the money: detach, with love... Keep doing you, Jon...
Never forget the playbook: It doesn't have to be true. It just has to be believed.
💯% correct. The question everyone (read: every white person) must ask themselves is where and how will they stand when that time comes. I know which side I'll be standing with. And I keep my 2A cleaned, oiled, and full.
Wait...I'm confused. When Miller says, "...an ideology that looks upon the perfect family with bitter rage while embracing the serial criminal with tender warmth." ...is the "serial criminal" POTUS?
Is there a name for something destined to be Mandella Effect-ed? And by that, I mean intentionally distorted.
It's important to distinguish between conservatives and Christian nationalists. There is a place in public discourse for those who believe differently than me. There is, however, no place for the Christian Nationalist racist, hate-filled agenda, all in the name of Jesus Christ. Fuck and No.
GREAT piece by Tim Whitaker. "Conservatism and Christian Nationalism are not the same thing." I often disagree with conservatives and even Christians. But that's ok. We can have rational discussions. But Christian Nationalism is a corrosive, cancerous movement that will destroy the US.
Paul Simon.

As well they should. The consequence of this should be ostracization and shunning. Don't even get me started on that oily peanut butter stuff...
If you're not already, I strongly encourage you to follow and subscribe to @aaronparnas.bsky.social . You're building a one-person news source, Aaron. Keep up the good work and let me know how i can help!
Remember when Clay Travis was a thing? Yeah...me neither.
Let's cut the bullshit. Keri Russell and Rose Byrne are the same person, right?
Oooh...that's gonna leave a mark...
When can we expect the @wsj.com to post their full retraction?
Is it sus or are "authorities" just skibidi delulu?
Yeah...good point.
In a perfect world, my friend... If my car is involved in an accident in which someone is killed, the state of Texas is aware instantly to whom that car belongs. Seems rational.
Registered guns. That's so cute... 😆
💯
@mrjoncryer.bsky.social I'm fairly confident the shooter won't be found. There is a very short list of types of people who could launch a single round 200m and have it hit within 6-ish inches of the target. Bruh -- or Sis -- is deep gone.
I will be very surprised if this shooter is ever found.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social Do you know who represented the US at the article 4 confab?
DJT just "truthed" that Kirk is dead.
Not acceptable, but inevitable given the current climate. I saw no way violence wasn't going to be the predictable next phase.
You got the 70, fam. I believe in you!
"Whatever our differences, they must be resolved through the peaceful exchange of ideas, the ballot box, and the institutions that safeguard our freedoms, not through threats, intimidation, or bloodshed." Yet, when people are oppressed, violence will almost always result. Sad day in UT, CO, & USA.
Galatians 6:7 comes to mind: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Apropos of nothing in particular, of course. Unrelated: I sure hope all the Daddies get to come home this evening. *All* of them.
My favorite part was the "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" look on Vice President Harris' face when she looked at that simp.
It's almost as though WWIII was the objective all along... Like, having a world war would enable this administration to declare national emergency(ies), giving them grounds to shut down elections and overturn the 22nd amendment...
Canvwe be sure we still have Alaska? Has anyone checked to see if Russia changed the locks?
Points for creativity. Double bonus points for graphical depiction of cat balls. 🤘
Good to see your smiling (sneering?) face here, Rob. Reminds me of the good old days back on that musky app. 🤘😁
I'm 63, Mike, and same. After having come up in a solidly Blue home, at 18 when I joined the military, I bought the bullshit Reagan and cronies were selling. Once the truth about trickle-down became clear to me -- trickle down doesn't -- I dug further. It was all bullshit. tl;dr You are 💯% correct.
"He is a worthless sack of orange-hued, leathery ersatz skin filled with oozing green pus" 🎶Somebody's got a crush...🎶
You misspelled "has amassed." You're welcome.
What a beautiful, touching story.
Mark (or Marc) my words: This will not stop until we stop it. We are on a singular path, not of our choosing. There is only one response that will be effective. It's not protesting or writing or marching. We did not choose this course. But it is up to us to reverse it.
Apropos of nothing in particular... "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENCE[sic]..." My emphasis added. Jes' sayin'...

I don't see how this ends without armed conflict. I am not advocating for that. I just don't see any other likely outcome.
Hey, @newenglandpatriots.bsky.social ...it's game time! ONE NATION! @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social
I considered mentioning this when I wrote her obituary in 2023. She wouldn't have wanted me to. But I'll never forget his name or his face. He's on my bucket list. *end*
My daughter was sexually assaulted by an Ivy League basketball player. He was visiting Panama City for spring break. She was 17. He sued the University when they suspended him, a suit they ultimately settled. 1/
Not a dick. Pretty sure, anyway...
You know what to do, New York!
Boycott the US Open. The fact that they have the temerity to ask journalists not to tell the truth is absurd.
TBH, at this point, I'd even prefer Dr. Tobias Fünke, noted Analrapist.
My point wasn't whether those communities *should* 2A back. It was more that it stands to reason that, at some point, someone will have had enough and fight back. It's a dangerous game this administration is playing. Dangerous for everyone.
At what point will the members of the communities under attack by this administration begin to 2A back at them?
He really seemed to enjoy the feeling and taste of the words "rape" and "raping" in his mouth.
Very well said, Tom, but that seems to be an awfully roundabout way of saying, "Fuck that guy."
@patchoulijoes.bsky.social ain't afraid of a little rain...or hail. First Friday Poetry night goes on!

So, wait...is *she* a robot?
Four diverse panelists. One topic. A singular passion for finding solutions Find the "Circle the Wagons" podcast on Spotify and other platforms. open.spotify.com/episode/1bfZ...
Seriously...what in the actual canned fuck was that?!?
I think it's cute that Spencer Hakimian thinks there will be history books...
Circle the Wagons podcast is live. Diverse perspectives, one political topic per episode, focus on finding solutions. Now on Spotify...coming soon to all the other places you get your podcasts. open.spotify.com/episode/1bfZ...
Correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation. But it doesn't *exclude* causation, either.

Same shit the US was doing in the 80's. SUMMARY: In March 1983, President Ronald W. Reagan announced the formation of the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System (NNBIS) to interdict the flow of narcotics into the United States. p129: bush41library.tamu.edu/files/guide_...
Heard. Though I am a tad disappointed...
Back to Daddy Bush's OVP-NNBIS operations from the 80's...
Here's America's to-do list for Wed, September 3: 1. Fuck I.C.E. 2. Release ALL of the fucking Epstein files. All of them. 3. Impeach, convict, and remove POTUS. 4. Lock him up. 5. Restore women's right to decide their own health care matters. 6. Make coffee free. Wait'll you see Thursday's list.
🤣
Press Box Chronicles is a great SUBSCRIBE. Pearlman is 1 of 1, a true, old-school journalist. youtube.com/@pressboxchr...
“They jokingly call me the president of heaven,” the Orange Idiot told reporters from the Pearly Gates. “Which is an honour. I like heaven. And I like those people. They’re good people. They’re great angels.”
Anyone evidence of the I would be a dead giveaway.
This is like seein Christmas morning circled on the calendar only to find out its actually an appointment for a root canal...
That was my favorite part, too. Racism with a side of illeteracy...
I wish you strength and courage today as you say farewell to Rory's physical vessel. I said farewell to my daughter in 2023. There is no "getting through" and no one can make this ok. And that's ok. Please give yourself grace today and in all the days going forward. I am so sorry for your loss.
It's gotta be nice to see your years of work appreciated.
The beauty of being a heart patient is the reassurance that we got one. Stay strong, Sister...walking every step with you.
I FORGOT ABOUT THE ROOT BEER AT METZLERS!!!
Congratulations, @chucktingle.bsky.social ! I was just talking about you with two customers at the store today.
The set of "incredible people who've done amazing things with their lives in recovery" certainly doesn't include that self-obsessed, narcissistic piece of shit. Rather, he's a member of the set of "Fuck that guy" guys. More specifically, he is everything wrong with a patriarchy built on privilege.
Well said, Doc. I've known some incredible people who've done amazing things with their lives in recovery. Recovery is, for the most part, a hugely positive thing for both individuals and their communities. And RFK, Jr is a flaming piece of feces. Those two things can be true.
STOP TEASING US, DR PATSY! 😢
I bet the guy who taught 🤡 how to spell "tariff" kicks himself every time he reads one of these posts...
Rightfully so. Castellanos ate them up like Jameis eating W's...
Whatcha got, Arch? This is where legends are born. Or not.
All of this. 47 is a puppet, the means to the end. An instrument to get in the door. He's a metaphorical Trojan horse. The veep is more of the same. Those behind P25 need to be in the shadows and they need egomaniacs to be center stage. 47's death won't be the end. It's the horrific beginning.

READ THIS LETTER! Then go read Project 2025 if you still doubt whether or not that is this administration's agenda.
To be fair, @taint9.bsky.social , Florida *is* bad. But every time they accelerate toward full-on fascism, Texas says, "Hold my Lone Star*..." * Beer, not some weird Texas kink.
This is an example of the types of "bully bills" strategy the Texas legislature has been rolling out. Even where criminal statutes exist, they attempt to create *civil* causes of action that, when passed, allow anyone(s) in the state to bring action, forcing defendants to bear the cost of defense.
So say, for the sake of argument, that a network of computers continually input garbage to Grok. Sort of a DDOS, but rather than denying service, it just fed Grok bad info in the form of questions and "sources." Again, a *theoretical* possibility. Need more coffee...
It is possible -- theoretically, at least -- to shape to direction of an AI tool by feeding it distorted, misleading, or inaccurate "facts." Sort of like Steve Martin's old bit about using wrong words around a child, resulting in them asking at school, "May i mambo dogface to the banana patch?"
