@congressmanboyle.bsky.social I saw your post on X on the only Dem to not release a statement on Pretti—you knocked it out of the park. I hope he redeems himself, not holding my breath. @booman23.bsky.social @eschatonblog.com

This is going to be a really fun show! All of us play (or have played) together in various combinations for the better part of 25 years. So this is something of a family reunion. #philly #country #bluegrass #oldtime

This guy is a Nazi. Got a lot of Trump Nazis showing up here, use your block and they can’t bother you. When they can’t troll, they go away.

This is how Google Maps wanted me to get on the GWB. I was literally at the corner of 179th which is a direct on-ramp (Google also has me facing north instead of south). The alternate route they offered went east to Harlem River Dr, and doubled back. WTAF?

Do you see the highlighted post? Yeah—someone before me provided a direct, paywall-avoiding link before me.
Learn how the difference between ads and paywalls, you miserable twatwaffle. I didn’t have contempt for you, but I sure do now.

@fetterman.senate.gov, who does nothing but undermine his own party, is pretending he had ANYTHING at all to do with last night’s victories and fundraising off of OTHER people’s work. Screenshot attached. Go back to FOX News, shit bird. Maybe they’ll buy your lies, coat-tail rider.

Bought sliced sandwich bread two weeks ago—Pepperidge Farm rye/pumpernickel swirl—and it was $3.49 or so. Maybe $3.85. Today, same grocery: nearly $5.00. For a loaf of basic sandwich bread, nothing fancy. #inflation #trumpeconomy #gop

Just finished an ep. of “Murder She Wrote,” in which a blind man was unjustly suspected of a murder that took place during a blackout because—I am not making this up—“only a blind man could see in the dark.” The #1980s, man…
BTW, I watch MSW OBSESSIVELY on Pluto. Like, nightly. I don’t know why.

Sometime between 2013-2015, at the late great Rodeo Bar in NYC, on tour with Woody Pines. I can probably still pull this off. The trick, BTW, is to wear slacks or dress pants. Jeans won’t cut it, balls need room.
