Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 05/09/2026What is this method called exactly? I found I could keep up which surprised me. 160
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Ranks right up there with "athleticism", as in one player has more than another. Dude, they're ATHLETES. You don't hear doctors described as having more "medicism" or priests with more "spiritualism". As we used to say back in the day: OK, now you're just making sh*t up. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Well, every time the Syphilitic Shitgibbon opens his gob, no truth ever falls out. But based on many, many ignorant responses to our (MI) Sec of State assuring voters our elections are secure and always have been, enough goobers obviously believe his nonsense. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Read recently from a history teacher: "People won't remember your intentions. They'll remember what you did last." LG actually had a pretty good rags-to-riches type story, including over 30 years in uniform. But, much like Benedict Arnold, his accomplishments were forgotten when he flipped. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Just my thought. A few minutes on a local (mostly R) FB page, and you realize basic punctuation, tense, and sentence structure are mostly dead. If you speak or write correctly, you're considered a snob. It's sad, especially because those lacking critical thinking skills are even louder. 110
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 29/06/2026FWIW - GM has been making the Bright Drop electric cargo vans for a couple of years now, and they start under $40K. But, since they haven't been selling, you could probably get a better deal now. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 24/05/2026bsky.app/profile/tj-s... Totally agree. This will not end well for most of us. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Just pointing out that if you support deporting "illegals" back to Mexico, then you have absolutely no business celebrating Cinco de Mayo with tacos, tequila and tortillas. 050
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Our local Kiwanis group voted to grant $500 to each of the three schools in our rural county specifically so every child could get a book. I remember all too well growing up without the ability to buy much of anything at the book fairs. Doesn't matter WHAT they read - just READ! 010
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I'm not defending her by any means, but that doesn't appear to be the presidential seal. There are no words surrounding the eagle. Maybe someone smarter than me sees it differently. 110
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Yep - pronounced "pidgin" as "pig-den" for years, and also "coif" as, well, "coif" (rhymes with coin). Also just recently learned how to pronounce "Nguyen" - it's like "when". That's what happens when you read a lot but don't like people much. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Who does he remind me of...let me think...although McNamara was at least experienced in something. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 22/03/2026“You want a friend in this city? [Washington, DC.] Get a dog!” ― Harry S. Truman. Thus proving F47 has no friends. 010
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 19/03/2026We also have a saying: "Those who know don't talk, and those who talk don't know." 020
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 17/03/2026media.tenor.coma woman in a red shirt is making a funny face and saying `` sure , jan '' .ALT: a woman in a red shirt is making a funny face and saying `` sure , jan '' . 001
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Buying a flag doesn't make someone a patriot any more than me buying a Detroit Tigers jersey makes me an MLB player. 010
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Actually, Canada paid for all of it, including on the US side. That was the deal when Michigan and Ontario agreed to the project, al least in part to quiet complaints of US tax dollars spent to build a second bridge to Windsor. 010
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 01/02/2026As stated elsewhere: "Illegals should go see the movie. Odds are no one else will be there so they can be completely safe for a while." 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Just...FFS, no. All these bastards know how to do is tear things down, with no thought as to the consequences. Obviously, Pee Wee German never got much love as a child. 0152
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Oh, I know - I was pointing out (as you did) that we've been down this road before. He was our 'ally' until he wasn't. 040
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 31/12/2025You know, I remember being so excited in 1976 for the bicentennial. I was 11, and it was a huge deal. Now, with 2026 about to begin, there isn't nearly the hope and optimism that I would expect for the USA's 250th. Either I'm getting crotchety or else the current cabal in DC has ruined it for me. 020
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 26/12/2025"Everybody’s innocent in here. Didn’t you know that?" - Red, 'Shawshank Redemption'. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 24/12/2025This from a guy who probably thinks it's a good idea to have screen doors in a submarine. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Old Russian joke. Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.” 0499
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Well, Teddy Roosevelt had the "Great White Fleet", so FOTUS wants the "Great Gold Fleet". Gold spray paint on obsolete ship designs, drawn by sixth-graders for an art class. What a buffoon. "Big boat go boom-boom, Grandpa." 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 07/12/2025A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away. Seller asks what's going on: "why do you always just look at the cover?" "I'm looking for an obituary." "Obituary? But those are in the back!" "Not the obituary I'm looking for." 010
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Nah, not bragging, just pointing out you can have citizenship in more than one country. I've lived in the US since I was a toddler and served 20 years in the USAF. These days I'm more likely to use my Aussie passport to enter Canada. 0140
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 03/12/2025So, as a dual US-Australian citizen, I do believe she is what the kids would call, "full of sh*t". 1042012
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 30/11/2025"Is your phone really in airplane mode? Are you REALLY sure?" 050
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Funny, I was just in Shreveport this past weekend. My impression? Mostly huge casino/hotels and personal injury lawyers. Oh, and run-down neighborhoods and closed stores. Yep, ol' MJ's constituents are in great shape. SMDH. 000
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 26/10/2025It's a shame (!) the VA secretary, who is/was also a chaplain, finds the ability to lie just as easily as his boss. Of course, if shame were an issue, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. 010
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 22/10/2025When Truman was in office, the White House was deemed uninhabitable by government structural engineers. Basically, the interior hadn't been updated much since it was rebuilt after the War of 1812. So, you know, same thing. SMH. 010
Karl @989runner.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Cool - now if I could just find a way to fill my gas tank with oil. As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon." 020
