YOU VOTED TO CONFIRM RUBIO!!!
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
From the folks who threw a fit when they were asked to wear a paper mask for a few months? And the ones flying “Don’t Tread On Me” flags? And have “Liberty or Death” tattoos? GTFOH
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
Please don’t. The people who actually used them stopped using them a year ago.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
How is Mamdani doing? Raising quite a bit? Huh.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
Bro, you voted to confirm Marco Rubio.

They have chosen wisely.

They feel good about the economy? While planning to unemploy a bunch of people? Who, precisely, do they think is going to buy what they’re selling?

I have changed each of my kids in public places because there was no table in the men’s room. Nobody ever said anything.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s literally how kids used to learn that running their mouth might have some consequences. At least that’s how we learned where I grew up.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
Not to mention that 523 Hz is a C, not an A sharp

I’m actually a very good teacher, but there are things my kids are physically incapable of hearing me say. It’s fine. I’ll just get a teacher to teach them that stuff.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
Further proof that most people are not even remotely qualified to teach children. Setting aside that you can’t teach what you don’t know, most people can’t even teach what they DO know. And the parent-child dynamic can often interfere with the teacher-student dynamic.

My parents spanked me and I turned out… okay, maybe I’m not the bext example.

I’m no expert on this… wait. Yes I am. Maybe if fellas just acted like women are… and hear me out here… human beings… then women might be more interested in them. I don’t know. It always worked for me.

The whole “IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!” thing makes me insane. Are you 9? Grow up. It’s just a day.

I always thought “Unconditional” by Katie Perry had the same problem.

That’s crazy. We’d pay way more than that.

It’s not the action of reading the book. It’s the time spent thinking about what it says and how it says it. I can take in 100 pages an hour. But I might need a week or more to really let one of those pages change my life.

Every year since our youngest was about 2, we’ve said that THIS age is our favorite yet.

Nope. Absolutely not.

You’re a rockstar
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m an American radical leftist, meaning I’m a little right of center in a civilized country. When someone says, “I bet you believe (some insane policy)”, I just say, “Absolutely”.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
It grows on you.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
Good. Let’s get the masks off. Quit pretending these are serious people and start treating them like what they are.

Depending on the airport…

Frankly, I’m not happy with the gay rights situation either. They should have way more.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
The end result is partly good. We want NATO to actually help pay for their own defense. But a smart leader would have pushed them in that direction without pissing them off so bad that they refuse to spend any of that on American made arms. We don’t have one of those.

I’m 100% against the bombing of Iran. It was stupid and unnecessary. But let’s be honest, Iran’s military is going to do exactly jack shit to respond to this.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
You should visit the Orlando airport.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
Bruh.
Matt Bell (@mattbellviolinist.bsky.social) reply parent
A reminder to Iran that the people living in cities voted against this shit.

He’s upset that the Democrats want “to shame” people like him? I’m upset that the Republicans don’t.

Sure it does - if you know who they’re interested in serving and protecting.

Unarmed people standing up the federal government. Hmm… I was told that only the 2A would permit this. Where are all those guys, huh? Here’s the tyranny they’ve been arming up to turn away…

Vance doesn’t have the hold over people that Trump does. It’s a cult. Trump is the leader. When he dies, the cult falls apart.

I’d rather have speed cameras than traffic cops, though. Way, way too many civil rights violations start with traffic stops. And it’s super dangerous for both the officers and the public.
