The big whiny bitch that acts like a bitch and lies about everything got on TV and acted like a bitch and whined and lied about everything?

Shocking.

I've had enemies in my life, it pains me to say...
But I've never truly, deeply and absolutely understood the sentiment of:

"I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire"

until these current times we're all being forced to endure.

All day, everyday. Do not settle for anything less.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Not playing the game, because I feel like it might destroy me...

But boy oh boy, the sheer amount of quality aesthetic content that Marvel Rivals is injecting into that game CONSTANTLY just outshines every other "ongoing" game I can think of. It's truly impressive.

Hope those artists get PAID.

I cried. Damn you, CD Projekt!

Truly one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. Bought at launch, didn't have the problems most did, played obsessively, loved every minute of it. Currently on my second playthrough, messing around with mods, builds and different choices. Just incredible.
In Night City, you’ve come a long way - all that you’ve done, all that you’ve seen.

Thank you for the past 5 years in this City of Legends. 💛

Now, please, enjoy this special anniversary trailer we prepared for the occasion:

More #PINCINNATI pics. Watching my brother compete in classics from the bar. The amazing HIGH HAND mural at Arcade Legacy. The big room there, and my 1st place score on Centigrade 37 (an abysmal machine, wrought in hell itself).

Arcade Legacy (Sharonville OH) is the best arcade with a bar ever.

#PINCINNATI was rad as hell. Here's the photo-roundup.

Pretty sure Kevin McCallister was what my Dad would refer to as a "little shit".

Full disclosure, I was also one of these. Might still be!

Volunteers he sent there, illegally, and pointlessly.
Gov. Patrick Morrisey has emphasized in recent days that West Virginia National Guard members on duty in Washington, D.C., including two who were tragically shot the day before Thanksgiving, have been there as volunteers.

Morrisey repeated the voluntary aspect of the National Guard mission today during his first briefing with West Virginia reporters since the attack.

Something that unexpectedly makes me tear up:

A dog just fucking hauling ass as hard as it can.

I think it's just seeing something doing exactly what it was built to do, with the utmost joy and fervor. Just running as fast as it goddamn can in a state of pure ecstasy. Love that shit.

He does something every goddam day that is unworthy, unfit, unsuitable, unacceptable to the office. The people that could actually do something about it are gathered 'round him, spineless and on their knees, lapping up the offal and smiling. I hope that one day they all receive their reckoning.

This current "Frieren looking up" meme is going to make it into the show, isn't it?

It'll be like, slow-mo, freeze frame, whistfully thinking of Himmel, chin up, looks directly at the viewer and *wink*.

Just a bunch of wealthy murderers, rapists and child abusers, sitting in the Oval Office surrounded by cheap, gold-painted Home Depot decor bullshit.

Just regular unconscionable nightmare shit happening every goddamn day.

Great and accurate work by @moreperfectunion.bsky.social illustrating exactly how diametrically opposed the "vision" of that bleached butterball Patrick Morrisey (R-NJ) is to the actual people of West Virginia.

So, @lastweektonight.com featured some reporting I worked about late coal magnate Bob Murray applying for Black Lung benefits after spending years trying to reduce regulations and trying to keep his workers from getting the same.

It was cool to watch, but what’s cooler is PUBLIC MEDIA.

The great scrubbing must be complete if our most disgusting child-molesting criminal is calling for the files to be released finally.

No one should be resting until there is justice for these victims, and punishments befitting the unthinkable crimes committed against them.
