Folks, I've created my own personally curated block list.

These people and organizations are offensive, reactionary, or rude. That's why they are on this list.

One person confessed to committing a serious crime. Report them, if you please.

FBI brutalizing and shooting at 14 year old kids in Idaho, where have I heard this before

Kyle Pfannenstiel @pfannyyy.bsky.social · 1d

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Since my only claim to fame is my role as the "1940's whistling ghost dad" in the feature film INSIDIOUS (2011), we'll get that out of the way now.
YouTube viewers tell me my scene is scary.
Here is the 3-minute scene that made the final cut. tinyurl.com/3-Insidious

my most lib opinion: so long as we have law enforcement officers, they should probably be able to pass an exam about what the law allows them to do without consulting notes

It fits the bill.

A tweet from Joel Montfort reads: “Current situation.” Below it is an edited image of a twenty-dollar bill where the White House on the bill appears to be under demolition, with an excavator tearing into the building.

There were open book tests at MIT. That's because the answers weren't in the text books. You actually had to think and answer the questions yourself.

I turned off spellcheck a few months ago because it's so ridiculously & aggressively wrong

Spellchecm had been on a downward spiral for years already. When "ai" became the buzzword du jour, spellcheck became intolerably stupid

What do you call a tool that makes the job slower?

Folks, it is the year 2025 and Word's grammar checker is suggesting that I should change "fewer" to "less few".

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

My cat, Stanford, was adopted in 2021. He is a college-educated cat (or so he says) and he runs the room.
Getting me up in the morning, checking on me during the day, and reminding me to empty his litter. He is also a handsome cat, according to followers of Bluesky.
