Never go back to AT&T for this reason. “Reuters revealed that AT&T played a pivotal role in creating OAN and has paid tens of millions of dollars to carry the network on DirecTV”https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att

The clergy also knew who was who and did nothing. “Big Religion” also backs the far right. That’s why Europeans have given up on organized religion.

Always on the rebel side.

I’m just easy to please. Make it funny and I’m there. No more whiny baby Batman though. We need to throw him back down the well if he starts complaining again. Peacemaker was very different and refreshingly funny

Wait! His last comment in the documentary thing that followed said it was very important to the DCU so something is coming. We just don’t know what or when. Gunn has a plan. I hope.

Agreed completely! Great show and the show that followed the show was great. Eh yeah….the post show show…

Phil 🇺🇦🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸 @justnormalphil.bsky.social · 4d

Such a great show. Thank you but make more Peacemaker! In these fuc-ed up times we need humor to draw us away from the batshit crazy going on with our government. 3 yrs 2 mos to go!

She has 3.2 years until she gets fired once freedom is returned. I’m fine with just not watching CBS until these fascists are gone.

Tool and U2. Two great bands from opposite sides of the alternative spectrum. Love that I still have my CDs

MAGA are so stupid. It’s fine when Bad Bunny wrestles in the WWE (I have a dim view of this “sport” but to each their own) but singing at the Super Bowl is too much. I hope he only speaks Spanish the whole show. MAGA will explode. Fu-k em!

Serious question here, is anyone running scenarios on people’s 401K accounts for
1. Civil Unrest/War
2. Complete collapse of Democracy
3. 3 more years of Trump
4. Military takeover and return to democracy
5. Things settle down and make a turn for the better (seems less likely every day)

As we get older the deaths just get quicker. Some deaths are a relief yet others are just a sad surprise. Genetics become more real and your ability to fight them decreases with every day you live.
Dang! All good. 😊 We are still here.

All the medals we have been awarded and all the time we spent listening to our leaders tell us what is “right and wrong” has been lost today. We made fun of regimes who did this shit and laughed at their medals but here we are. It’s embarrassing. Wait until the markets catchup to this shit show.

And we are still no closer to a real robot as imagined in 1927.

My wife jokes that I should be severely autistic due to the multitude and variety of vaccinations I received in the US Air Force and as a child. I have taken at least 4 doses of polio, MMR, typhoid, yellow fever plus 4 of the 6 anthrax. I have sheets of vaccinations. Maybe it’s why I’m a Democrat?

The King of England invited Trump to ………make the monarchy look less inept? I think most were willing to accept King Charles and forgive past deeds but fuck that now. Time to toss the monarchy out!

Glad to see Musk getting his “payment”. No more cheap employees for the guy who bought the election.

We are extremely fuc-ed at the moment. The Supreme Court is now backing race based policing and honestly anything that FLOTUS comes up with. Our police and military are following along. No cop will be charged for killing a person armed with pizza anymore. It’ll just be suppressed.

Phil 🇺🇦🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸 @justnormalphil.bsky.social · Sep 9

When will we get a morning show that provides real news instead of the product shills and soft crap stories we get today? The Supreme Court just stated skin color is a reason to stop anyone and I’ve heard nothing from our news outlets. We need real news.

Fuc-ing MAGA treat him like a MOH recipient and would believe he was in Vietnam on a special ops mission if he told them that. So much posing from this administration. No real heros but lots of fake “wannabes”.

Phil 🇺🇦🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸 @justnormalphil.bsky.social · Sep 8

There will be no end to how the MAGA hate gets spread across every institution. Fascism grows and the military is bending a knee, mostly because the Supreme Court is not backing Democracy anymore. If you resist, you’ll lose your retirement and your way of life. This will take years to fix.

The older Roger gets, the more crazy he sounds. It’s sad when these old rockers lose their direction. Taking Putin’s side was just idiotic. Why speak badly of Ozzy?

“Night swimming”

It’s Florida though. The voters will still keep electing the imbeciles because they hate so much. Nobody should be vacationing in FL until things and leadership changes.

Nice. The Leaf requires an inverter and a not really kosher hookup for it to run anything. It just got a brand new main battery also under warranty so not going to mess that up. Enjoy the Lightning.
