Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 23/03/2026The majority opens with a claim that the officer asked her to get up before putting her in a wristlock, then a page or two later admits that that was a lie. Incredible. 023
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Mary Pierson-Purifoy, who gets to decide what high schoolers can read, appears to be a 2020 high school (homeschool) graduate, who attended a couple of colleges but whose bio conspicuously omits mention of graduating from *that* level of education. 5161
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 26/02/2026"Who the fuck is Thomas Purifoy that he gets to pick which books are 'classics'" I asked myself. 2180
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Got the same text. I was shocked when I saw who they'd chosen to be the one asking for the money. My response was similar: 0301
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 26/09/2025🤔🤔🤔 If you're going to flame a stranger about not doing his research, at least check your own numbers first. 120
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 08/09/2025MEGA. What a show. Oasis was incredible, so glad I got a chance to see them. 040
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 17/07/2025My kid's friend at camp (whom he's known for all of three days) gave him some Pokemon cards today, and, uh, these look expensive! Anyone have any idea if we should be returning these to the kid's parents? 020

Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 30/04/2025That's bonkers. The medical supply companies rip people off like mad--my supplier charges my insurer (which only pays 50%) $160/month for masks I can get on Amazon for $22/month. If you can't find a covered machine, some are available online refurbished or open box for half price. 210
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Unbelievable. On what possible grounds could they possibly be appealing the order to provide updates, given the plain language of the Supreme Court's order? 000
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 16/03/2025All misogynists pave the way for normalizing Trumpism. I suggested this one not use the c-word, and he doubled down. Block party? 000
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 17/02/2025There are, but courts can't enforce their orders without the executive, and the president appears to be immune from liability for criminal contempt. So Trump gloats about his refusal to obey those orders: 100

Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 12/11/2024For me, it's the guy who has to have benefited the most from having unreal wide receivers who could catch anything within a couple yards of them, founder of the Joey Galloway and Terry Glenn fan clubs, Bobby Hoying! 000
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 05/11/2024Harris's pitch to reachable Mormons strikes me as a good one. 1110

Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 01/11/2024Would you feel better about it if you knew that slightly more Republicans than Dems have voted early? 000
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 29/10/2024Oh my god, that article has this gem, too, which I also did not understand at that age, and now has me almost falling out of my chair. 111
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 28/10/2024An old meme I made, but largely applicable here. Never understood the impulse to mock people who are not only on our side, but also right! 060
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 25/10/2024Thinking about this one today. For all his many faults, a young (fictional, obviously) Charles Foster Kane knew that if he wasn't willing to lose money, his money would be used to control him. Too bad Bezos et al. don't understand this. 010
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 16/10/2024Reskeet with your favorite meme you’ve ever made. (Maybe a political candidate *should* be restricted from shouting fire in a crowded theater?) 000
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 24/09/2024Oh man I almost forgot about this epic Azerbaijani meatballs-stuffed-with-dried-cherries soup (credit: Please to the Table: The Russian Cookbook) 011
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 24/08/2024I'd like one, too! I don't seem to be able to DM you, though 000

Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 16/08/2024TIL that former Spider from Mars Mick Ronson made Jack and Diane good. 040
Dean Shaffer @deanshaffer.bsky.social · 28/07/2024I think he mixed up his Brad Pitt characters. Surely he meant this one. 160
