Works in tech, perfect Gen X specimen, loves animals (...all of them). Either thinking about or watching the TV Show "Patriot" 📍outside PDX, but forever a Michigander

I MEAN PATRIOT HAD LITERALLY A PERFECT ENDING AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED BUT I JUST REALLY THINK PRIME VIDEO COULD GIVE IT ANOTHER SEASON OR A MOVIE TO SHOW THE AFTERMATH

I can't believe I'm watching a game show that reveals a photo of a clock and people are yelling out what time that clock shows. #TheFloor

Wow, the impressions category on #TheFloor last week. Rough.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

Today Tony Fitzpatrick passed.

I'm only now learning he had a fairly storied career, but the only thing I knew him for was my favourite show Patriot. Here he plays Jack Birdbath, a disgraced ex-cop turned security guard who blackmails a spy.

Watch this clip. Celebrate this incredible man with me.

That #DetroitTigers game was nuts, but I mostly blame the loss on my Mom and sister back in Michigan (who went to bed before the 15th inning) for the loss. 🤣

Robin Barber @robindbarber.bsky.social · 11d

I'm glad the Tigers lost now because it pissed him off. I hope.

(not really, sorry #DetroitTigers)

I feel so bad for y'all back in Michigan trying to stay awake this whole time. At least it was a good game 👍

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.
