Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Do you have a favorite rural aphorism? For example, in the States corn should be knee high by the fourth of July. And every small town paper will pront a picture of someone standing next to their field showing off how tall the corn is that year. 001
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yes, but everyone will be too distracted by that luxurious dewlap to notice. 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The UK used to be a proper country when the Tories were full of people like Rees-Mogg and Labour with Tony Benns. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 23/09/2026If the rescuers didn't shout "fetchez le vache" at each other the whole time, what are we even doing here. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 22/09/2026That's basically how Charles VIII died (and he had no direct heir). So I hope the Giants can avoid a prolonged succession dispute. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Some say McClellan is still in those hills; waiting for the perfect chance to go on the offensive. 020
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It'd be my first executive order. The Donald J. Trump Pet Relief Center 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Maybe, but you probably weren't as buzzed as one of the altar servers out of his mind on incense back in 1550. 060
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 29/08/2026How did average romans experience the collapse of empire? One day you wake up and realize no one has been bitten by a lion this year. 1361
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Huge missed opportunity for Hollywood not to highlight the most reality tv like man in the classical Greek world. Levels of messiness that most real housewives can only dream of reaching. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Rory and Vance reaching heretofore unknown levels of epic collapse this week. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 03/04/2026In fact, we have evidence of the opposite. Library funding levies, public school levies, etc regularly pass with strong public support. 021
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Paris may be worth a mass, but not entering into strategic voting coalitions, apparently 001
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 02/03/2026So many examples of @patrickwyman.bsky.social's dumb guy theory of history in the wild today 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 12/01/2026How much violin playing with the boys is there though? 110
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 05/01/2026This is going to be really problematic for future high school history teachers who will have to teach it. "Look, kids, you can only say FAFO in school when referring to early 21st century American foreign policy." 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 24/11/2025Didn't know it was possible to look that much like the senator who turns into water in the first X-Men movie in real life. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Yeah, but an uncrushable doused in vinegar is inedible and that's the only proper way to eat a pasty. 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Reading this from urgent care hoping to get some strong antibiotics for the combo sinus infection/conjunctivitis passed on from either the 6 y.o. or the 18 month old. 150
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Coffee: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's (after 30) problems 020
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Also, we live in the now, and have the benefit of hindsight. What's the point of doing historical analysis if we cannot do so with our contemporary understanding of future events/broader context. 030
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 08/09/2025The Roberts Court at this point is basically what if the Lochner Court had the racial views of the Dred Scott Court, but also Article I doesn't exist. 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Same energy as me explaining to @lizabreed.bsky.social why she has to wake up and help change the baby's diaper when she has a "massive blowout" at 3:00 am 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Given that this guy has a giant painting of the Nazi battleship Bismarck behind his desk, this one doesn't feel like an "oops." 0200
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 01/09/2025It took 20 years but 9/11 and our response to it succeeded in breaking the country. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Hell yeah! I hope our society doesn't collapse before I can read it. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 15/08/2025This is also an apt description of Bill Clinton or George W. Bush. I think too many people who came into politics during the Obama era forget that this is basically what politicians are--and it may actually be a benefit if the goal is to win elections. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Hope there are still some NPS park rangers down there for when these guys inevitably get heat exhaustion. 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Man, living through the "eff around and find out" phase of a future season of the Revolutions podcast sucks. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Look, no one has been targeting the incel community with a mommy vlog This is just efficiently exploiting a gap in the market. 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 06/08/2025We used to be a proper country where real men had secretaries to handle all communication with their wives. Look what they've taken from us, lol. 030
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 05/08/2025I don't think most millennials are ready for how badly cooked their boomer family members who still use Facebook are about to be with the oncoming avalanche of AI slop that's going to hit them. 000
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Honestly, Ryan Day actually being AI generated from birth makes a ton of sense. 030
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 04/08/2025@lizabreed.bsky.social and you said there wasn't any transmission discussion on bluesky 020
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Instead of the green new deal we should have been pitching the green TVA. 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Not sure why Ezra Klein needed to write a whole book when Song of the South by Alabama explains the abundance agenda in a quick 3 minutes 110
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Someone needs to write "the history of the world in seven large adult sons." 1415
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 27/06/2025This Supreme Court is a reactionary institution dedicated to dismantling the US as a multi-ethinic, secular state. And it's decisions today should all be viewed in that light. 010
Brad Reed @bfp2040.bsky.social · 25/06/2025This is one of the more upsetting things I have read recently. 000
