You’re offered so much, but you’re frightened to take it. Music (punk, garage, new wave, jazz, indie, post-punk, glam, classical, whatever), Mets/Jets/Rangers, cats, beer, higher ed, travel, art, etc. Pro democracy, pro justice. Jersey since birth.

We’re more than a year away from midterms and 3+ from the next presidential election (presuming we have them) and I see it’s already “this Democrat doesn’t 100% meet my purity test, therefore they’re no different than Trump” season 🤦🏻‍♂️

This *only* helps Republicans.

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

I’m a NY Jets fan, and they were out of it the day everyone showed up for training camp. So I know the feeling.

If you’re a Broncos fan, congrats on Sunday’s win in London.

It’s nice to watch a bit of a baseball game that I absolutely don’t care who wins…or not passionately rooting for anyone to lose.

Trump is giving Qatar a military base in America.

Remember, Qatar funds Hamas.

Oh yeah, Qatar also gave Trump a $400 million plane.

Hegseth announces Qatar will build air force facility at U.S. base in Idaho

The move is a sign of increasingly close ties between the U.S. and Qatar.

I had to go for extra help to get a D in Algebra II, and that would’ve been in 1975 (ie, a long time ago) and I’m better at math than this.

It was on his last LP. One of his best. Joe Strummer did a good cover of it too.

Perhaps the greatest American musician and composer ever. Reasonable arguments can be made for a few others, but Monk always has to be part of the conversation.

Thank goodness some things from 2020 are gone, like 100’s of thousands of unnecessary deaths, inability to travel, social distancing, etc. But this shit won’t stop.

Griffin Canning was the pleasant surprise guy when the season was going well. A lot of fans can’t stand Stearns looking for diamonds in the rough, and you never bat 1.000 with those types of moves, but it worked with him.

…Republicans in Congress would each get to introduce their own articles of impeachment. Fox News would be hyperventilating 24/7.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

So now we have an answer to the question “what does giving Trump a free jet get you?”

If Biden or Obama had done this, every Republican in Congress would take turns introducing articles of impeachment.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?
