casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 24/08/2026When you can take a chance on a...well, seasoned, I guess, and well known dumpster fire, you have to take it, right? How much is Monken regretting taking this job? Enough to sabotage himself already? 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Maybe it's step one, to see if it gets any negative attention from him. If he cares enough, they can start leaking details elsewhere, more friendly. If not, bide your time and wait for her to do something weirder, then try again. Just a thought. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 12/07/2026It's the Shaq problem. How to fairly call a game keeping in mind the discrepancy. On this call, though...bro took the charge like Vlade. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 10/07/2026It fits with the times. I appreciate the sentiment. 110
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 06/07/2026A couple of his facial expressions early in the match very clearly showed that he had seen this all before, and was not having it. I thought it ended up a well played, well reffed game, even with the drama at the end. 010
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Absolutely. The USMNT have to grind out games like this all the time, which is why it was so (pleasantly) surprising to see them work Paraguay over in the first match. If only FIFA could assign a ref who was used to seeing it... 110
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 29/05/2026The rest is to distract from the fact that he has his hand in our pockets. Sleight of hand... 020

casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I think Randy Quaid said it best in Days of Thunder, and I'm paraphrasing here: Every time he walks out to give a press conference, he ends up looking like a monkey fucking a football out there. 020
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 06/04/2026They forgot the second part: "Owner is encouraged to drop by and pick them up." 020
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 06/04/2026They are definitely not the same as in Europe. We can't have nice things here. 030
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 04/04/2026It feels more like it's what they think they want, what they think will make them happy. But they can't make sense of their own misery. And they are in so deep right now, so used to that dopamine hit. Punching holes in the boat while complaining of drowning. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, sorry. 0100
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 14/03/2026You have to be careful of porta-potties in the wild. They can be vicious, and they stalk you. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Factor in the fact that the people in positions of power are either too dumb to know history or too arrogant to think it applies to them, and that they only speak and listen to people who agree with them, and here we are in the dumbest timeline. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 01/03/2026When my grandmother had dementia, she seemed clear at times, but she thought it was the 1950's. Our current foreign strategy seems cut from a time when it was normal for the US to topple a govt they didn't agree with, and ignores all the lessons we've learned from such behavior in the meantime. 100
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 25/02/2026It feels like people who want AI to be human are either desperate for human contact, desperate to have you adopt their AI model, or don't actually understand other humans at all. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Thank you for capturing what it's felt like in Minneapolis for the past few months (has it been months? Feels like years, could be weeks). You shined a light on the different ways people are helping, and you did it in a way that really highlights the humanity that makes this region unique. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Thank you for what you are doing on behalf of the people who are vulnerable, powerless, oftentimes invisible. 020
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 13/02/2026NYT focused on Vought, Gunasekara, Clark, and Brightbill as the zealots who believe climate change is a hoax. They believe that global warming is not happening, regardless of the scientific evidence. Only in this administration would they have a microphone. I hope for what you hope. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 10/02/2026I wish you were the actual Onion. But no, it's 2026 in America. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Remember when Paul Ryan talked about how much he identified with "Rage Against the Machine," and Rage was basically like: "You are the machine. Stop it." 040
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Absolutely. It may have taken a while, and that's not great, but he's taken responsibility and he eventually found the right path. That's worth something, in my mind. I know others disagree, and that's understandable. 010
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Think of how much has been normalized already. Sometimes I have to make an active effort to remind myself where the line is, and I am firmly opposed to what's happening on moral grounds, legal grounds, even common sense. Our brains are not wired for this level of doublespeak, and weaker minds cave. 110
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Not to make excuses, but I think we underestimate the wall of disinformation that Fox News and other outlets shove at folks on a daily basis. They stick to easy talking points, repeat them loudly and often, and overwhelm people. People truly believe that, however bad he is, the alternative is worse. 120
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Plus the number of times he said "unprecedented cooperation" really felt deliberate, like he was trying to drive a wedge between the people and the MN administration. And for what? This unprecedented cooperation just amounts to roughly the same amount of cooperation from before. 020
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 04/02/2026When are people going to learn: he does not pay people. His history is full of these moments. It might be a compulsion at this point, like it's painful to actually part with the funds that are so easily promised. 060
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Truckley, time to defend your honor! Put down that beer and pick up a mic. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 31/01/2026My first thought when I saw this picture: there are probably a bunch of birds in there just waiting to freak out when anyone gets close. Not sure why. 110

casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 27/01/2026It is not surprising that Bezos rolled over to a bully. I'm sure he was stuffed in plenty of lockers, he could recognize a boss level bully immediately. All that money, the weightlifting, the martial arts...none of it mattered. He had a chance to stand up for his middle school self, and he folded. 010
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Honest question: why can't the authorities access files in the cloud? Would they need family permission (my guess is they would get it)? Lack of the physical item shouldn't inhibit accessing the files. Or am I wrong? I've been wrong before. 020
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Gold. Absolute gold. Thank you, I needed a laugh right now. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 27/01/2026There's no statute of limitations on murder, and he is in the ICE employee database if Bovino knows who he is. Minnesotans are patient, and I think someone will give him up to save their own skin down the line. And I don't think the President can pardon a state charge. His time will come. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Some c-level folks felt like something needed to be said, for some reason that is still unexplained. But then 60+ PR people got involved, and here we are... 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I'm guessing they are so used to making excuses, hiding from the moral and ethical questions by using whataboutism, that they can't even recognize the moral dilemma anymore. They get their marching orders from the top and don't question them, and in return they feel relieved of responsibility. 030
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026But I'm sorry to hear from all these people who lost friends and family. It still sucks, regardless of how right it might be. 010
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026It's a good learning experience for the rest of us - there but for the grace of God go I, right? Watching people I know and care about work so hard to justify what's happening makes me work harder to make sure I don't end up doing that somewhere else. 110
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I wonder if they worry they've gone too far and are looking for a way out. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I try to be optimistic, knowing that America has lived through dark times before and continued to progress after. But I do not enjoy living through it. My kids seem almost numb to it, as if they just sort of expect bad things to happen now. 130
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I cannot like this enough. Finally, someone steps in and does what they are capable of doing. 11534
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I can't wait to see how they spin the latest shooting, the one that just happened this morning. The video is pretty traumatic, for anyone who still has feelings. 000

casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Okay, yeah, that sounds like similar tactics but at lesser scale than Minneapolis. They've shown up to schools, Costco and Home Depot parking lots, they've set up checkpoints on the highway. They were even going door-to-door the other day in an immigrant-heavy neighborhood. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Some sound bites I've heard, and this is consistent with his first term, is the belief that the immigrants they know are "good ones," and that there are millions of "bad ones out there." Where those bad ones are is up for debate, but Fox tells them it's in blue cities, so it must be in blue cities. 010
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 17/01/2026From what I've heard in red states, they wanted it...in other states. They are not in favor of ICE or the National Guard in their state / town (some form of not needing the help), but they fully believe that blue cities especially are enabling illegal immigration and, by extension, crime. 000
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Someone who worked in Washington noted that the biggest change Gingrich brought was a change in tone that has persisted. Specifically, people who disagreed with you were no longer good people with bad ideas, they were bad people, evil people, the enemy. Sounds familiar. 050
casettedeck.bsky.social @casettedeck.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Just traveled to a city in a red state, and nothing like Minneapolis is happening there. When they hear the full extent, they are absolutely shocked. They mostly can't comprehend what it would be like to be in that, day after day. At least, that was my experience, for what it's worth. 020
