I’m a dad. I’m trying to be a better man. I fail at both often, but I’ll keep trying. Please tell me to f**k off if I talk about politics. I will deserve it. Refugee from a dead bird site - say hi if I know you from there!

The more I look at the Charlie Kirk situation, the more it starts to stink just like the Trump “assassination attempt” does. They learned a few things, this one was MUCH better staged. Kirk’s death was a meticulously planned public execution in 4K, designed to inflame the right to further violence.
So, ChatGPT: Given that right wing extremists now control the US political system, it seems unlikely that an investigation of Kirk’s murder will return any meaningful results.
Hey ChatGPT: Posit reasonable theories as to why a right-wing extremist group or individual might want to murder Charlie Kirk.
Hey, Donald you going out for Chinee? Be sure you get a nice big plate of YUK FU bud.
Bruh really said “Here we go with THIS bullshit again.”
Every story about Charlie Kirk, every comment, should immediately redirect to the tragedy in Evergreen.
I don’t understand why they aren’t just shrugging it off. www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...
I’m not interested in anything anyone has to say about this guy’s death unless it’s preceded by a lengthy memorial for every American child killed by a gun. Followed by the words “fuck Charlie Kirk.” www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...
Motherf**ker!!! Welp, guess it's just a normal Taco Tuesday at this point. I was really looking forward to calling it Dumbf**k McTacoTits Tuesday every year. Sigh...
Rocket City??? The Space Command center in Huntsville is now called Rocket City. How does this timeline KEEP GETTING DUMBER???
The biggest clue that *SOMETHING* is happening or has happened? Dead silence from the mainstream media and the political class.
Trump may be terrified because he knows he’ll be named explicitly by one or more of his victims. We might be witnessing a narcissistic meltdown, which can go one of two ways: isolation/defeat or denial/attack. He may have given up, refusing to talk to anyone. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
I’ll be thinking about you over there. This is pure craziness. Totally agreed about Bluesky. So nice to hear from you, and don’t be a stranger :)
Those were the days, right? I think that account we all kind of hovered around is still on Twitter… he didn’t engage politically, but my general feeling was he was farther right than left. I miss it too! I haven’t even been as engaged in movies since those days.
Well hi! Doing well, thank you. I’m not much of a poster since that other site died. Hope you’re well, too! Nice to hear from you :)
How stupid do you need to be to buy that horseshit?
The only thing that makes me think Trump isn’t dead (or incapacitated) is that our enemies would look at this power vacuum and confusion as a perfect time to strike. I can’t believe the government would let it get to that point. There is some seriously shady shit going on, whatever it is.
This is a first class FU from a first class mayor. Don’t pull punches - Trump doesn’t. Hit him HARD and don’t back down. We are with you, Chicago.
Cover up is so witless it's embarrassing.
I’ve made a huge mistake. At this point, I’m just scared for the puppies.
Ted Bundy: Why do you guys always bring up that ONE TIME I was a serial killer? Haven’t we all gotten past that? Let’s focus on the future. Things sure are looking great!!”
We all knew it was coming: the final sign. TikTok has officially jumped the shark. Where do we go from here? Is there a video version of BlueSky coming?
Ma’am, respectfully: the fact that you don’t think it’s funny IS THE JOKE.
I feel like a cat or a cardigan must be involved somehow.
It’s funny because Cheeto McShitlertits
She has 100% made cognitive dissonance her bitch. Just zero awareness.
She can NOT be that stupid. The comedy just writes itself at this point.
President Vladimir Zelenskyy is at this meeting of world leaders to fight for the existence of his country, and the lives of his people. That oblivious obnoxious asshole from Fox News needs to shut his yap. Nobody cares about your apology you insufferable wanker.
Here’s how it went: Deputy AG Blanche: Who knows the future? You could die in prison tomorrow, or in 20 years. Do you remember what happened to Jeff? So sad. Or, your Uncle Don could make it all go away. Do you like Texas? Maxwell: I solemnly swear that my testimony will be whatever you tell me.
Funny how all those illegal immigrants got super hungry for pets during the campaign. Maybe too busy dodging ICE these days to properly hunt?
What? Trump knew he was in the files??? Never in all the centuries of science could this have been predicted. Don’t worry though: Obama and Comey and Biden and Hilary made it all up. No wait, there’s no file. What file? These are not the files you’re looking for.
Has anyone seen the video of the photographers being ushered in and the flag slowly lowered into place to stage the infamous fight fight fight photo of Trump’s “assassination” that keeps getting taken down on TikTok? It’s pretty obvious, definitively proves the whole thing was staged.
#NowPlaying Sinners (2025, dir. Ryan Coogler) Sinners is an incredible film. Coogler’s tale of black strength and unity is also a warning. The only white characters are a KKK grand dragon and three literal white devils. It all plays out against a rich tapestry of music and woe. 4.5/5 stars
Shades of Tienanmen Square.
Yup. Total ignorance. No idea that word is a well-established anti-Semitic slur. So which is it, sir? Are you a stupid ignorant racist out of habit or was that a slyly placed racist jab at the Jewish community?
It’s the 4th so right on cue our President says an anti-Semitic slur during a televised speech. The Shakespeare character itself, where the word comes from, is a racist caricature from tropes that existed 500 YEARS AGO. If he’s comfortable using the word, his racism is so deep it’s a reflex ATP.
#PeoplesHistory Columbus would have made a fantastic CEO in modern America. More Trump parallels.
A pity Trump can’t read. He could pick a few tips up from Chris Columbus on how to take advantage of a captive workforce of brown people.
#NowReading A People’s History of the United States, by Howard Zinn I first heard of this when Matt Damon mentioned it in Good Will Hunting. Today, on the 249th US birthday, while we are being systematically crushed by a fascist regime, it seemed like good time to start. An auspicious beginning…
“Don’t ever turn your nose up at a captive source of free labor.” - Official Republican response
Melting Pot Breakfast Burrito 1 Tortilla (Mexico) Fried rice (China) Teriyaki Sauce (Japan) Chili Crisp oil (Vietnam) Scrambled eggs (French style) This is the most American thing I could think of having for breakfast and it’s DELICIOUS.
I struggle with it too. I haven’t ever wished a person harm. But that soulless black hole of a human being makes the world worse every second of his life. His death would measurably improve the lives of millions. I don’t actively wish for it, but only because I actively try not to. It’s a STRUGGLE.
This longer clip shows more realistic crowd size. There are no crowds surrounding the Washington Monument. For 250,000 to be in attendance, you’d surely see that large crowd surround the monument in this clip. My guess is far less than 20,000 attendees - maybe less than 10,000.
White House comm director Steven Cheung said on Twitter Saturday: "Amazing. Despite the threat of rain, over 250,000 patriots showed up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. God Bless the USA!" This doesn’t show every attendee but it doesn’t seem like Cheung is accurate.
As the parade begins, note the backpacked soldier in the foreground - the first soldier we see. He stands out because of the backpack but also because he’s marching out of step and pointedly not saluting. Every other soldier salutes. 🧵
Chants of USA are obviously piped in before the RECORDED national anthem Two interpretations: 1. No artist of any stature was willing to sing and/or… 2. Trump was too cheap to pay. Why no dress battalion? It’s a command DECISION, a vote of no confidence - unwilling to show support for Trump. 🧵
I’m just now watching Trump’s self-thrown military parade to honor his own birthday. Here 4 soldiers in full dress present colors between Hail to the Chief (live brass band) & the national anthem (recorded!) as Trump enters. Where’s the battalion of soldiers in dress at attention? 🧵 #Trump #Parade
I don’t wish anyone ill. But there are levels of grief. For Trump, my grief is near summed up in moving pictures.
#Funk #RIP Sylvester Stewart, aka Sly Stone (March 15, 1943 – June 9, 2025) Growing up white in the 1980’s in a small town in Oregon all I knew was: there was no sound like what I heard coming from Sly Stone’s 1960s and 1970s recordings. He defined funk for me. RIP, Sly. youtu.be/_Son_p6sPeI?...
#NowPlaying #filmsky Fargo (1996, dir. Joel Coen) As I type “1996” I’m coming to terms with nearly 30 years since one of my favorite all-time films opened. It’s since been replaced by No Country for Old Men as the Coen Bros best, but this is an incredible film. So good.
This public breakup between Musk and Trump feels a lot like watching Mothra and Gojira collaterally wipe out Tokyo.

#filmsky #NowViewing A Serbian Film (2010, dir. Srdjan Spasojevic) First viewing. This movie is often listed among the most disturbing movies of all time. Talk me out of it.
“I’d like to sincerely apologize that you all don’t understand that everybody dies.” Yeah, that’s not an apology. That’s a FU.
“I only use ketamine to get out of dark mental holes.” Guys guys guys, I think we found the addict.
#filmsky #NowPlaying My Darling Clementine (1946, dir. John Ford) First viewing for me, and John Ford doesn’t disappoint. What a great film, and instantly my favorite OK Corral movie. I’ll be jumping into more Ford for sure. Here’s my Letterbox’d review: boxd.it/9RWidH
#NowPlaying Happy Face (2025) My dad was a sociopath. It wouldn’t have surprised me to learn he was responsible for horrible crimes. This series about the daughter of a real life serial killer strikes a chord. There’s a moment when Dennis Quaid channels a perfect sociopath, and I saw my dad.
A person in her position should not be making mistakes like this. Is it a mistake? Is she so programmed with taking points that she’s not capable of listening and responding to a question intelligently? The talking points are deliberate but I’m convinced: she’s actually just an idiot.
I gotta admit, Freaky Tales looks like a shitload of fun. youtu.be/lA6VHy-Ito8?...
Just saw my daughter in her full outfit and makeup for her junior prom. Dad’s heart just about broke in two. How am I responsible for creating this beautiful creature?
Just finished watching the latest 60 Minutes story on Don Donald Trump’s mafia-like extortion racket against the courts and legal system. Holy SHIITE. watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=a...
Staffer: You know sir, there are some products that will be affected… iPhones for instance… Trump: What? Those idiots should know I didn’t mean iPhones. Staffer: oh of course sir. Who should we fire? Trump: The ugliest ones. Jesus, I have to tell you people how to THINK?!?
I don’t wanna do this anymore. I want off the ride.
This is stupid and dangerous sound byting from an ignoramus who was recklessly put in charge of a scientific government agency tasked with preventing the unnecessary loss human life. So, yeah: predictable.
This illustrates the problem: these are fascists. Law exists in fascist regimes to keep the masses in line with party doctrine and ultimately with the supreme leader’s whim. Accountability in a fascist society begins and ends with the plebes. The ruling class are exempt, insofar as they are loyal.
Unless you're also wearing a backwards baseball hat and/or a fanny pack, you're probably OK.
Adolescence - Netflix (great drama surrounding a young boy accused of murder); every episode is filmed in one long take in real time. Severance - Apple TV+
I'm in my early 50's, and I've been doing this since cell phones got cameras. My ADD brain just will not cooperate in the short term.
JD Vance: "...not being a good ally..." The rest of the free world:
Oregon says FUCK DONALD TRUMP.
WTF is a Kevin Sorbo and how did it learn to make noises with its face hole?
Wait… this is an article saying Justices Thomas and Alito are going to stand on principle?
WSJ Edit Board: "Neither [Thomas nor Alito] is likely to resign if he lacks confidence in Mr. Trump’s judgment about who might be his successor. They have too much respect for the law, and the Court, to resign if they think Mr. Trump will nominate a results-first, law-second legal hack."
I've never hated another human being, not even the dad who emotionally and physically terrorized us as kids. But god dammit, I hate Donald J. Trump with the power of 1,000 suns.
Watters is a cosplay troglodyte. His own mother knows he’s a joke. I pay subzero attention to that nancying fuckwad.
Family includes everyone! ❤️
Yeah, I wouldn’t complain if my son the billionaire was floating me either. How about the seniors who can’t survive without SS checks? The ones without filthy rich progeny. Those are the fraudsters you’re referring to?
I love bibimbap. SO. MUCH.
What in the George Orwell is going on

I mean, that explanation makes as much sense as anything else.
#bluesky So... I use 3 devices for BlueSky and CLEARLY the best is my MacBook. The iPad/iPhone seem to have varying degrees of interface failure (iPad being especially bad). Is anyone working on this? Why are the iOS interfaces so (pardon) fucked up? Is it the same for Windows vs. Android users?
While they’re on about his economic policy, maybe explain the racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, nazi sympathizing, Russian sympathizing, ecological sabotage, fascism, gutting education, election denial, insurrection, RAPIST, 34 felonies, classified docs… He sho gots lotsa ‘splainin’ to do!
This is what the transition from a free independent press to state-run media looks like. Great job WaPo! You’re getting better at being Trump’s mouthpiece. Keep up the good work, A for effort!
About 3 years ago, I got to thinking about why I don’t listen to music like most people. Music isn’t the “fabric of my life” like it is for other people. I realized: music isn’t a casual non-activity for me. I wrote about it back then. Do other musicians feel this way? #musiciansky #musician
Oh JFC, I forgot about the CDC hamstring he pulled. What a fucking idiot. He thinks Covid tanked his first term, and if nobody knew about it he would have been fine. I hope he gets it and his amazing immune system fails this time.
