@contemprainn.bsky.social is an account that posts nothing but AI, wasting water and jacking up our electricity rates. Block them.

@lawgunsmoney.bsky.social I can't reach disqus when I'm at work, and have no idea when/if Loomis & Co check email, so maybe they already know. But if not: guys, the ads running on the site for the past two days display vertically and cover the text of the posts.

Since we're all talking about that depraved, duplicitous dickhead John Fetterman, let's take a critical look at the photo the @wsj.com published in their bombshell report on Pennsylvania's Laziest Senator (TM). Lots to unpack! Thread! 1/several
PA Republican Senator Dave McCormick rests his hand paternally on PA Democratic Senator John Fetterman (WSJ)

That there is a Squier Vintage Vibe P-bass, modeled on the original P. Very hot single coil p/u, one of the best best basses I’ve ever played.

This picture says so much. Fetterman is McCormick’s little bitch and doesn’t even realize it (although as you can see, McCormick sure does). I wonder if Dave knows his BFF hates cops.

Played a song at open mic last night about heroin addiction. No my phone is filled with recovery ads, incl. this turd from PragerU. FWIW, I’m not in recovery; if I was I wouldn’t be taking tips from PragerU; and if you’re talking to God like a “homie” that’s not God, it’s an imaginary friend.

This image, an actual screenshot from my phone, is sublime. I love how the juxtaposition suggests a baby has saggy boobs but then the boobs are knees and eggs. The way the red caption grabs your eye, briefly forcing you to ask “what’s a baby interview?” The Lunchables ad at the bottom. 1/a couple.

Philly Inquirer: Gov. Josh Shapiro talks out of both of his faces on data centers and Amazon, which the majority of PA opposes.Philly Inquirer: Gov. Shapiro told PA he will hold data centers accountable, then turned around and said to data centers “how may I serve you?”Inquirer: Gov. Shapiro says he will hold data centers accountable while fast-tracking projects and holding them to (LOLOLOL) “voluntary standards.” Has that EVER worked? Does Shapiro think Pennsylvanians are STUPID?Inquirer: Gov. Shapiro to job-killing data centers and Amazon: “All that shit about standards was for the rubes, I got your back!”

@jewishinsider.com thank you for admitting what so many of us already figured out. Netanyahu goaded out idiot leader into starting a war with Iran on Israel’s behalf, and now Israel says “not our problem,” and leaves the USA holding the bag,

@mcjalonick.bsky.social where is the evidence that Mitch “spoke” to anyone? We have claims, possibly self-interested, by his GOP allies. No word from MM, no photo, no direct quote, no audio. Anyone can make a claim: for example, I speak Martian. Show us the evidence! @apnews.com

He’s hated by folks like you and me, @tedcruznipples.com, but to a lot of elites Rahm matters. What’s more, as my screenshot (Politico) shows, Rahm hates Bibi. He’s also as much of a bully as Bibi is, and it’s nice to see Mr. Potatohead get a taste of his own medicine.

Let him stay that way: he can be comatose a LONG time. Just ask Ariel Sharon! Also too, Mitch wouldn’t want to be taken off life support. He believes strongly in life, as his actions during the Terri Schiavo debacle demonstrate.
Text from the LA Times, quoting Mitch McConnell on keeping Terri Schiavo hooked up to life support.

I don’t even like Nirvana, but Kurt didn’t steal anything, as punk had been around since the 1970s. Also, the same poster claims Grohl couldn’t drum when he joined Nirvana, which is BS. I saw Scream at least twice in Providence RI during the Grohl era.

Brendancalling @brendancalling.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Although rock music was invented by Black people, it’s irritating when people post things that aren’t true, and disable quote post as if that prevents correction. IN FACT Dave Grohl was able to play drums when he joined Nirvana. I know, bc I saw him drum for Scream back in the 1980s.

The screenshots are from a setlist I made for a gig. The songs were available all week, and in fact this AM. Suddenly they are “unavailable in your country.” But they ARE available on my Mac and everyone else’s phone. I didn’t change anything and did everything Apple’s website says to do. 1/2

Sadly, my “Democratic” senator is John “This is what you look like when you sell your soul” Fetterman. The only energy he has is for kissing Trump’s ass in public.
This man is the same age as me, and looks 25 years older. This man has better healthcare than most of us, and looks like he’s dying. That’s what happens when you sell your soul.
