….2 of 2….It’s all fine. They are going about life happily reveling in the fruit of their stupid. Then there are people like us - empaths. People who care about others and the world we will leave for our kids and our grands. They’re happy. That’s fucking scary.

You know what I realized last night while driving near our second home on the ruby-red Florida Panhandle (Gaetz’ former district)? I realized that the vast majority of people down here (and near our other home in Georgia) think everything is great. 1 of 2…

Thoughts?
@chucklorre.bsky.social @billprady.com I think it’s time you guys intervene and have the BBT episodes that feature Musk and Gaiman pulled. The Musk epi. just ran on TBS, ON Inauguration Day, no less. Sexual predators and (worse) Nazis aren’t worthy of your show.

I think it’s time you guys intervene and have the BBT episodes that feature Elon Musk and Neil Gaiman pulled.

The Musk episode just ran on TBS - *ON* Inauguration Day, no less.

Sexual predators and (worse) Nazis aren’t worthy of your show.

THE Ohio State Buckeyes win the Natty and suddenly everywhere is Columbus in January.

#Buckeyes

Ohio State (in addition to winning the National Championship) finishes as number 1 in the final AP poll.

They beat final numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10 this season.

The first 3 *IN* the playoff.

Number 5 on the road.

Absolutely remarkable season.

@mcuban.bsky.social How do you handle the bots and porn spammers here? I have 156 followers and get inundated with them - you have nearly a million. Is it exponential for you? I want to agree with you and maximize this app, but it is exhausting - it’s like swatting flies at a manure pile.

So, I *really* want to use @bsky.app instead of Threads (long ago left X), but I am
Inundated by porn bots. Inundated. Until that’s fixed, I can’t really use it. Every single time I post, it’s like opening the spigot on a faucet of crap. Please fix the issue.

2/2…It’s the pain I feel for the people who have lost. It simply disgusts me to read the politicalization and division that some are using this catastrophe to amplify.

1/2….I grew up in Sherman Oaks, about 14mi from Pacific Palisades as the crow flies. I don’t have any family left there anymore after my aunt passed away in 2024. But this all still very much hurts, and I have no losses involved. It’s the loss of the idea of home and the memory banks associated.

2/2…To the best of my knowledge, throughout history that kind of change has only ever really occurred as a result of (literally) armed uprising or foreign intervention (ala WWII). What am I missing?

1/2…Honest question for all of you. As we approach Jan. 20, and people talk about resistance, etc.

Can anyone give me even a single example where authoritarianism has been overcome by elections or legislation?

Christmas Eve, quiet day at home while smoking a turkey for just the Mrs. and I. While cooking, spinning vinyl in this sequence so far:
Tom Petty - Damn The Torpedoes
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Bruce Springsteen - Western Stars
Linda Ronstadt - Private Lives
More suggestions welcomed!
Turkey looks good!

3/3 …2/2…coming back into power, along with his A-team of scientists, researchers and public health managers.

Someone get the 4Chan and QAnon folks lots of snacks, they’re gonna be real busy ratcheting up their disinformation again real soon.

Mark my words.

2/3 That barely noticed news story in late 2019 ended up killing more than 7M people worldwide, including more than 1.1M Americans (to date).

I sure am glad that will never happen again & that we have the same wildly competent leader

1/3 - About 5 years ago (exactly), a different “new” (unknown) disease emerged in China with stories strikingly similar to this one (And no, Kellyanne, it isn’t called COVID-19 because it was the 19th COVID, it’s called that because it emerged in late 2019).

I can’t post a cute little “wrapped” self-congratulatory jerk fest, because I never used Spotify. Ever. It pained me to even post my podcast to it when I had it. If you platform people like Rogan and barely pay actual artists money for their content that is making you and him rich, f*** off.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy…

Great night seeing @marcscibilia at Terminal West in Atlanta. Can’t wait to see him again in April. Great, fun show.
