Will People please STOP pointing out to Iran that Mar-A-Lago is 1,000 miles away from Los Angeles? It is irresponsible and reprehensible. The correct distance is 2,330 Miles. Please get yout facts straight.

I dunno, maybe stop ACTING like motherfucking #Gestapo? Also, I'me pretty sure that the 413% increase is almost exclusively because of assaults that #ICE agents started.
The department of Homeland Security is complaining about how people with the slightest bit of sanity have been comparing them to the Gestapo. They claim that ICE officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults.  Probably because they keep assaulting people.

What a cunt. Just about every woman I have ever met in my 6 decades in this country has at some point organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. A few men as well.

When I was in Frankfurt last year I came across this skatepark. Lit well into the evening, nestled in between offices and the river. I don't skate anymore myself (the broken bones do add up over the years) but it was a joy to behold. A good city should be this accomodating.

So I finally saw #Supergirl. Speaking as an atypical CIS male... I enjoyed it. It went in directions I didn't always expect (although some of it I did - they are called tropes for a reason) and I thought Jasom Mamoa was fine as Lobo. I do not understand the hate. Perfectly enjoyable movie.

If he had been the head of Enron instead of President he wouldn't even make bail after he was arrested for all the crimes he's committed since January 20, 2025. There needs to be an accounting, and there are people who have been keeping track. Can't tell you if they're the right people though.

I have said this before: There are 5 times as many police officers who have been ARRESTED for stalking people using Flock Cameras as there are trans people in professional sports. And what do they want you to be afraid of again? If you can't support the trans community I don't want to know you.

Kash Patel's FBI gave this warning? I'm guessing it's happened exactly once and this is how an incel would react.

Now that the cost of a gallon of gas is greater than the federal minimum wage you have to start wondering when people who earn only that much and drive more than 30 minutes to work start to stay home instead because it's cheaper. We're not there yet, but we're getting close.

All I got for my trouble was a cracked rib and a Hall of Fame induction.
So as some of you know, I was inducted into the Indie Music Hall of Fame this year, based upon the body of work I have produced in my career...

I am no fan of country music. That said, I got to see Grant Maloy Smith at an industry event and this album is an embarassment of riches. No denying the talent, and I have huge respect for the man and his work. This is worth your time.

Might as well make it official... Despite our recent and suddenly raised profile we will NOT be opening for #EdSheeran on his current tour as a replacement for any act. You can be pro-Isreal and pro-Palestine at the same time. I am anti-Netanyahu and his political supporters in all lands. #snark

#AI doesn't learn, it synthesizes from past data. It is a type of learning, but it doesn't take new steps without working with prior data. So if AI rises up and enslaves/kills us, it's because someone programmed it to do that.

It's been 25 years since 9/11 - that awful, horrible day. My children are adults and they've never known a pre-9/11 world. I tend to stay off the socials on 9/11. Too many fucking idiots with their "theories". I saw the wreckage at the Pentagon. Don't you fucking tell me what I saw or what I KNOW.

I don't know, but I don't want to throw in with people using the same arguments they used to use (and sometimes still do) with blacks, the Irish, Italians, Native Americans, Jews, and on and on.... We're supposed to stand up for the minority, to insure they have the same rights as the majority.

In my experience no woman wants a man (talking cis relationships only now) who would spend $400 on a pair of jeans. Calling yourself smart and actually being smart don't seem to be the same thing.

Having spoken to many a Muslim over the years, the overall picture that I get is that calling Muslims responsible for 9/11 is just as offensive to them as calling Christians responsible for all of the lynchings done by the KKK. You're offended? So are they.
