I’m a squirrel and democracy lover, and we’d be better off if we let the squirrels take over Earth. My followers are called Acorns, and I don’t do DM’s, crypto, GoFundMe’s, or photos of your… you know.
They tried to rig the game, but you can’t fake influence.

I know things are not great and will continue to not be great, but I’d like to share something that’s been keeping me sane: Sporcle quizzes! Here’s the latest ones I’ve made:

Sorry I’ve been gone for so long. I’ve been trying to manage my mental health because of… well, everything. I’ve just come back to say we need more Al Greens and Jasmine Crocketts in the Democratic Party

I was struggling with how I feel about everything, but this sums it it up very well.

America’s isn’t perfect and won’t be for a while, but it’s worth fighting for. Be there and act to truly make America better.
Lately, I'm realizing that not only do I not love this nation but I really don't like it very much, either: not the one we have been and certainly not the one we're becoming now that we have rejected decency and elected inhumanity.

I'm not alone.

There’s a clear vibe shift going around. They woke the sleeping giant. Now, whatever we can do, we make them pay.

If you’re reading this, get mad. Do the job nobody has the cajones to do.

We will win in the end.

Democrats, this is our 2026 message.
No matter their race, creed, ethnicity, or immigration status, your neighbors are not - and never have been - your enemy.

The villains in the American story have always been the wealthy and powerful interests seeking to turn you against your neighbor in order to maintain their place at the top.

If anybody still bothers to own a Facebook page, it would be a shame if you were to find MAGA idiots and troll them. Yep, a real shame.

I have only one insight for that other happening today: Beyonce called, she wants her hat back.

Feels good to have the squirrel and fox team up! Welcome to my world, @getyourfoxyback.bsky.social!

Tonight, Justin Herbert threw as many interceptions as years we will be telling idiot voters, “We f*cking told you so.”

Really, football gods? You couldn’t let the Chargers have this one?

Less than two weeks away from pure disorganized chaos masquerading as a tale of building a new society filled the worst people you know.

Or as that’s known in the cinematic world, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis.

Forget the club, Trump needs to go back to da cliiiink.

I’m just going to say this:

If you are trying to get me to see your OnlyFans, live chat, or whatever virus-laden adult site, I will NEVER follow you. I know what happens in Her; don’t fall in love with bots.

They’re not gonna stop, are they?

To recap:

- A driver killed 15 and injured 35 in New Orleans
- A Cybertruck exploded in Vegas in front of a Trump hotel, killing a person
- 10 people were shot at a nightclub in Queens

It’s only January 2nd.

To everyone on BlueSky, I wish you a Happy New Year!

2025 will be a challenge for many of us, but as long as we can do what we can, we’ll find a way to the other side.

Let’s get to work, Acorns.

I don’t think there’s anything I could add to what everyone has shared about Jimmy Carter. He was a shining example of what you could do with a heart of gold.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Happy to be spending the last of 2024 in Venice with my family. As always, sunsets here are just the best!

Welcome to the Oak Tree, @palmerreport.com! I didn’t realize I was going to become a big mover and shaker this time a few days ago. And yet, my Acorn count continues growing. Let’s get to 10K before 2025!
December 27, 2024 at 8:12 PM
As I watch Christmas Vacation with my family, another famous Acorn appears on the tree: @margaretcho.bsky.social! I never even came close to anything like this on my other platforms! In case she’s reading this, I’m curious: what’s ‘squirrel’ in Korean?

Now I know I’ve hit the big time! @joncooper-us.bsky.social follows me, and he’s gonna learn that I resist pure idiocy with squirrels, in particular if they’re animated Texans with lots of inventions and a mastery in karate.

And crushing on Sandy Cheeks is still saner than 47’s administration.
