The human race is a monotonous affair. Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.

So, Mr. Former President, what do you propose we do about it?

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

I am from Mindy, so we’ve struggle with an eccentric owner too. It’s not a lot of fun.

I wonder how smart that Vrabel firing looks now

If it's not OK, it's not the end @deanfox.bsky.social · 5h

I didn't see they fired Cally — must of happened while I was helping my neighbor Amy rearrange some deck chairs.

Joe Brady would be awesome, but I imagine he'd have better opportunities. The owner is a mess, and the aimlessness is ameobic-level.

Nothing about the Browns who made any sense for about 10/15 years now

Mike Tomlin on the Joe Flacco trade: “Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than me or us, because it doesn’t make sense to me to trade a quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening-day starter to a division opponent that’s hurting in that area.“

Tirico. Snort.

Marcy @deadheadgirly.bsky.social · 11h

(and you'll forgive me not trusting what the TV guys say, particularly after Mike Tirico claimed the ball Travis Kelce caught, where it clearly touches the ground without his hand under it bobbling it all the way, was a catch as he shuttled to commercial, never to speak of it again.)

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’ll say more later but on this Thanksgiving weekend, I’m so grateful he was ours.

A tall man with a thick grey beard and glasses is standing in a boat and holding a massive pike. He’s got a big smile and he’s wearing his favourite T-shirt, which says “The Good Life” on it. His name is Matthew Parkhill and he was a wonderful person.

RMN was our best foreign policy president. Whatever personal demons he had, he loved the Constitution and resigned in the interest of the country.

MY President.

No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
