If I can't get into the "pizza store," can I at least find a charbroiled hamburger sandwich with a french fried potatoes garnish?
There are many crazy RFK Jr. conspiracy speeches, but haven't seen anyone tweet or write about his 2021 Milan speech at a protest against Italy's Green Pass when he warned Italians that the government could stop them from buying pizza at the "pizza store." 🍕

Apparently people are doing sing-alongs to songs at screenings of Wicked. I find that so annoying when it happens. I remember one time I went to a movie revival and everyone was singing-along to Singing In The Rain. It ruined A Clockwork Orange for me.

I was raised in Alabama; I long worked at Dow Jones, Barron's and the WSJ; and I could show you a map of how many Brooklyn neighbors voted for Trump. I'm not here because I can't play nice with conservatives. The "echo chamber" stuff needs to die a swift and merciful death.
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

Imagine if we didn't have "Like" buttons, but instead, we had "There's a good boy" buttons. Would you rather have 110 Likes or one voice resonating so deeply in your Self that you feel, even if only momentarily, alive
This predates Threads but I still feel like it’s the greatest Threads post of all time

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?

Fun fact: there was a trans woman in the bathroom I was using today.
You’ll never believe what I did next:
I pissed. I washed my hands. I nodded to them on the way out, and I went on about my day because I’m not a fucking psychopath who cares what bathroom people use.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.
