Sometimes, when the light is just
right, I glimpse a far-off city
that appears to float in the sky
and I can't stop thinking
about the people
who live there.

Send it to everyone there, plus 1 who isn't and minus 1 who is. Just to start a weird supernatural beef and get this horror comedy rolling.

I like how you said it.

Looking at this video on mute & I'm genuinely mystified at the media "strategy" here.

Is assembling this unironic murderers' row of clowns, frauds, & sex pests meant to elicit anything other than white-hot derision? If not, I'm at a loss here.

They're like a sentient tranch of subprime mortgages.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Tomorrow at Israel AME Church on Hamilton St. in Albany.

Come and join in some fellowship and enjoy a free haircut or shave by master barber Bro. Anthony Mathias in our pop-up barbershop.

Just tackle today. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Even if he doesn't have connections to Epstein, Epstein did not have a monopoly on this behavior. Nor blackmail. Nor moral turpitude. Nor enemies willing to kill for your silence. Nor...

I am with you and pray for peace, but war is already here and we will not make it go away by wishing it can still be avoided.

If they can do anything with impunity and without fear of a stonewall resistance, then they've already won.

I don't believe that's the case.

I was not prescribing, I was describing.

They are going to invoke martial law anyway. I don't know what else to tell you. They are fabricating probable cause (and even distorting what that means) EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

You realize they have been violating habeas corpus since February?

M.T. Cannon @sonofrockhound.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I know. But (1) I was trying to satirize their "scripted-for-tv tough guy talk." They sound fucking ridiculous and they can't handle Chicago on its worst day. They are stymied by dancing frogs. (2) They don't need a pretext for anything. They have abdicated their responsibility to protect us.

Don't fret! My typo is bothering me, but I'm gonna let it ride. 😆

Love the blurred middle line on the spliced lens to allow for twin focus.

Has anyone told her about The Chicago Way? I don't think she's gonna like the The Chicago Way.

Scary as they may be, you cannot outrun ghosts.

Let them catch you. Hear them out. Listen to what they're trying to tell you.

The coyotes are so loud and freaky sometimes (like tonight), it feels like either I live in Dracula's castle or a neighbor left a spooky Halloween sound effects playlist on 11.

When Jesus comes back, he won't be here to save America.

More likely, we'll have to save him FROM America.
