The way RFK Jr fixates on autism is low key a sign of autism

It's that time of year again when my small Texas town posts that they'll be closed for Indigenous People's Day and the Meemaws and Peepaws from Facebook lose their goddamn minds.

Turnstile has no business having THREE openers on a Tuesday night. Luckily, it’s an outside show so they have to be done by 10pm.

Also worth noting…I have concerts the Monday and Tuesday after ACL Fest…basically I’m pre-tired.

Austinbloggy @austinbloggy.bsky.social · 1d

I’m simultaneously looking forward to and dreading going to #ACLFest this weekend.

Another day seeing Trump say and do illegal things, knowing no one will stop him and he won't face any consequences.

Invoking the Insurrection Act in his manufactured war on American cities is both illegal and unconstitutional.

Another unhinged act of authoritarianism.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Q: Are you planning to invoke the Insurrection Act?

TRUMP: Well, it's been invoked before. If you look at Chicago -- Chicago is a great city where's a lot of crime and if the governor can't do the job, we'll do that job.

For the record, it was Hilary Duff! As a huge fan of the show Younger, I am shook.

I’m texting my friends at #ACLFest to find out who Role Model’s Sally was but they’re all adults and have no idea what I’m talking about.

How long will it be before Trump pardons Diddy? I give it a week.

The only thing I can think is maybe the hot dogs weigh more? Or maybe the buns are an artisanal bread? Lol

Austinbloggy @austinbloggy.bsky.social · 7d

We went to DQ for blizzards tonight (don’t judge me) and I noticed they charge more for hot dogs than corn dogs and I can’t stop thinking about it.

if literally everything else is the same except that the upper peninsula of michigan was part of wisconsin and the florida panhandle was part of alabama, clinton wins decisively and Trump becomes a forgotten joke. It makes you think! bsky.app/profile/lisa...

I have to remind people multiple times a year that Clinton got three million more votes than Trump and the Electoral College is the reason she wasn't president.

Every day I wake up to a headline about POTUS doing or saying the stupidest thing I could possibly imagine. Incredible how he manages to top himself day after day.

Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?

Alex Kaplan @alkapdc.bsky.social · 12d

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

Every cat loves Classical Music, and they all have the same favorite composer…Haydn.

So when these dumb grifters don’t get raptured today, will their conclusion be that they must be bad Christians?

So tired of all the fascism.

I'm taking 5 days of vacation starting Saturday and I have the worst case of senioritis right now. Every Slack, email or CS issue that comes my way has me heavy sighing and rolling my eyes.

Austinbloggy @austinbloggy.bsky.social · 21d

I just saw that Clairo signed to Atlantic Records. Without knowing ANYTHING about her financials...it seems insane for an artist who has reached her level of success as an indie decide to go to a major label. But who knows? Maybe she was sick of fronting the cost of her albums? IDK.
