Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

The demolition of the East Wing facade of the White House is the best visual metaphor for 2025 I have seen.

Wait what? Do we know where? Can I plan a lengthy trip only to visit my family and absolutely not to try to meet him? 🤣

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Obviously I have no idea what he's planning but if it's a play, watch how fast I buy a plane ticket. Just watch.

Do I have free money or time for that? No. Don't care.

I got a TV in my room when I turned 14. I spent the whole summer watching music docs and pop up video on VH1 and I swear it changed my entire personality forever

✨Pretty, Witty, Girly, Worldly✨ @asdoseofreality.blacksky.app · 1d

I really miss when music channels had a lane and stuck with it. Those VH1 music docs and pop up video were how I discovered so much music that I wouldn’t have sought out.

This pov is annoying me so much. The problem isn't that he's the president (I mean, that IS a problem but you know). It's that he thinks the rules don't apply to him. Are they actually this dumb or just looking to fight?

Also he's over here posting AI videos of himself as a king, so...

Wine, Radio Omens, and painting a box for the 10 year old's Minecraft Halloween costume. Ok evening over here.

(I have only heard prob the first half of the radio show before. Everyone just got to the air strip so I'm getting more. This is fun and weird.)

This is SO gross. I used to work in local news (not there) and almost never want to make a nasty comment to them... But WOW. What the actual fuck is this. I am actually stunned.

Wow — local CHATTANOOGA @CBS affiliate @wdefnews12 stanning for Trump in their *totally not biased* tweet about the protests today 🤔

Is this that @CBSNews Bari Weiss-approved framing?

Mumford and Sons

... Indigo Girls?

That was harder than I'd like. I haven't gone to concerts frequently in the last 10 years and time has lost all meaning so I've sort of lost track of what was when

Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you saw:

Had a fabulous time at my local No Kings protest. I was standing with some friends right by a speaker with a really fun playlist. At one point it started blaring "We Are the Champions" and I am not going to tell you I didn't get a little teary.

Last summer I was in England & bought some raspberries at a random truck stop & they were the best raspberries I have ever had. US raspberries are totally inferior, I don't know if you know.

The problem is that now every time I watch Bake Off, everyone uses raspberries and I whine about this

"You mean like a sudden rain forces them together beneath a canopy? They look into each other's eyes and realize they were made for each other"

(Yes I did reply with that, obviously)

Why do they keep trolling us. I'm taking it personally. Come on. 🤣

I am honestly confused about what book these people read.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 3d

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
