It's me, John S. :: Music junkie. Puggle lover. Jayhawk.
Woke up this morning thinking of @musicologyduck.bsky.social and the other kidnapped passengers on the bus ride from hell. Hoping that the bus driver is unemployed (and under arrest?)

Trump gets booed so loudly he can't even hear himself and has to pause speaking. He gets visibly angry. A woman shouts, "Traitor!" right to his face. This is the reception this rapist, pedo protector should always receive.

Imagine if just by refusing to comment, you could stop any story from running. You would literally never find out anything unflattering about anybody. It amounts to asking people for their blessing to publish your reporting about them.

Recall that a very conservative news outlet purchased SCOTUSblog in April. thedispatch.com/article/disp...
