Something I’ve been saying a lot recently: the churches have become “The World” they warned us about - bc now greed & immorality are its virtues & empathy and good & selfless works are now sins.

It’s why 2 Tim 2:15 is a verse to live by - churches & licentious preachers will mess your life up.

Since Trump & Co decided, as conservatives usually do, to not leave folks who don’t like them alone, here’s how to block the Trump Admin’s BlueSky pages easily.

I just had an aortic aneurysm near my heart removed.

Too many of us die of cardiovascular issues bc the system doesn’t put in effort unless something else happened (my case) or you advocate for yourself.

Treat your body like you do your prized possessions.

I didn’t post it on Zuck’s app, but I just had an aneurysm on my aorta removed.

PSA: if you smoked, binge drank, and/or have family history of aortic aneurysms, go get checked. Better to remove it now than to EMTs can get to you quickly if it bursts. (Mine was elective - not emergency.)

Sky News is a mainstream UK news network that’s owned by Comcast/NBC.

It could be a shit and one-sided and thinly sourced story, but it’s not “fake” like anything FOX, OAN, Newsmax or the UK equivalent - GB News - would put out.

The first post alone made me wave my hand like I’m in church.

The fact that the Constitution has “enumerated” rights, and every other “right” depends on legislation and/or courts deciding it exists is a problem. See Amendments 13 to 15, 19, 23 and 24 and the Civil Rights Acts examples.

We need a constitution that makes taking rights away the uphill battle.

I must not be “America” - despite the 14th Amendment, bc I’m not mourning an ammosexual who hated everyone that isn’t a conservative white Hetero male.

OB @obthe2nd.bsky.social · Sep 11

I watched the video 10 minutes ago.

Dunno why conservative and Ammosexuals want to live in a society where that - a Charlie Kirk - could happen to them. Not a single good guy with a gun found the skilled guy with a sniper rifle - including Utah police.

James 5:16: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I’m guessing that all these Evangelicals’ and Ammosexuals’ thoughts and prayers aren’t availething much - since these mass shootings keep happening.

This is why the rest of us like gun control laws.

Tomorrow I’m 45, and I realized that I’m old enough to remember when Taco Bell Tacos were 99¢, and old enough to remember this happened AND not remember WHY it happened:

And then all them whyfulks now discussing how they were sexually abused by their uncle/dads/et al, and their mamas covered it up bc “People will talk”…

Or how “Chet and Ryan” are regularly spiking drinks to r-word, but they don’t report bc cops never believe women.

“But statistics say…”

Or that their best friend’s dad, who’s a cop, chose to not arrest folks in their neighborhood bc “they’re good people”.

Yet Jaycee Lee Dugard, and that white girl in Cleveland, happened.

It’s why I really can’t watch Martin now. Those jokes may have been “okay” for how the culture thought it was in the 90s, but we can look now and see how demeaning, sexist and fucked up they were to BW - especially coming from a BM. (Although Mama Payne calling Gina “Apple Head” is forever funny.)

I think my fave thing about Star Trek SNW and Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura is we’re finally getting to see who Uhura was since TOS and the movies never gave Nichelle Nichols’ Uhura a spotlight outside the mission.

Lest we forget, this is the same president who had to pay USAir to take over Trump (Air) Shuttle by assuming a good amount the airline’s debt as his own.

You’re definitely ignoring the tendency of white centrists to hate People of Color and women.

One day folks like you will stop blaming Democrats for white centrists and conservatives for their racism and sexism and start blaming white centrists and conservatives for the for racism and sexism.

The choices were a felon white supremacist promising to destroy everything, or the Black Lady who wasn’t.

White people chose destruction.

Meaning the default stance of white swing voters is pick “harm” unless convinced not to.

Dunno why you’re dissecting her campaign instead of focusing on that

Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · May 15

Since he ended up quitting anyway, the options are:

1) He shouldn't have quit.
2) He quit at the right time.
3) He should have quit earlier.

1 is deranged nonsense that only Joe and Jill believe, 2 is arguable (blame Kamala, shoulda run a better campaign), 3 is correct.
