Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

There are crimes surrounding threatening elected public officials, or mentioning munitions around public infrastructure. You know, violent bad shit With fingers crossed behind one's back, or arguing it is a joke, there is immunity? #LA&SD

San Diego is home to several military bases and military personnel & their families, as well as several defense contractors that provide direct military support, and is crucial to west coast-based military operations. This is treasonous.

NEW: During a rally just now, Trump invited Iran to “take out Los Angeles and San Diego,” saying it would be a “small price to pay.”

Had a kick ass night at the Social Distortion concert last night. This was the final night of the tour and Mike Ness was upfront to tell us his voice was pretty fried. So he asked the audience to fill-in in parts. Otherwise, the guys were all on point.

Arrived while I was away: Kate Ryan’s new (Sept 2026) ‘Blood, Guts & Black Pudding: Ireland’s Dying Art of Blood as Food.’ Ireland is not unique in its blood-eating (Germans, Filipinos, Maasai, Cajuns, and French—to name a few—also indulge), but I’m particularly looking forward to biting into this.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
