Hey Bluesky, bring back Robert Evans. You're supposed to be the only good social media and here you are banning people for celebrating the death of a real disgusting man (Hassert) of natural causes. I got rid of Facebook and I had a LOT more to lose than I do dumping you. bsky.app/profile/iwri...

I am pitching a hidden camera show where you get a Shaq in a room and propose increasingly unhinged commercials. Just keep going and getting weirder and weirder and see if he actually has a line where he will finally say "No, that's too much." It'll be at least seven seasons and maybe a movie.

Just now I'm my sleepy little Michigan town in The Thumb. Thanks to our illustrious President, folks.

Just got a text with this picture attached. You can see my response before I blocked them. On top of everything, I'm in Michigan, my guys. Your AI sucks. But yeah, look at that face. Totally the face of a man I'd trust with my daughters.

Google complied with the toddler, and renamed Lake Ontario. "I might be switching to MapQuest" is something I didn't think I'd be saying in the 2020s.

For what it's worth, I'm on Canada's side. I live in Michigan and live an hour from the border. I've spent a lot of time in the country and my Northern neighbors have always been wonderful. Our current officials are not just idiots, but malicious monsters.

If I see a video on here with obvious AI slop, I immediately ban the account. I didn't care how cute you think the dog interacting with a bird and a kitten is. It's nothing but lies, and only serves to further embolden these idiots that will burn the world for a couple more dollars.

For as Progressive/Left as I am, my hobbies tend to be Right coded. One of which is fishing. And after I deleted my Facebook, local fishing groups are hard to find. Thought I'd give Bluesky a try. Gave "fishing" a search. A very surprising amount of gay porn came back.

The other night I took a gummy and was hanging with the family, having a great time. I remember someone said this line, but do not remember the context at all. But apparently I thought this was a profound enough thought that I sent it to my "Note to Self" on Signal. So today, I'm greeted by this

Mmm. Organic, touch of avocado, parasite free. Because we grew this ourselves, baby! Usually I make jokes to my wife about all the effort and time to save $4 on a bag of lettuce. But this year, I'm quite happy to have a garden full of fresh produce to avoid the Trump/RFK bug.

My youngest daughter isn't just going to the University of Michigan this fall, but she has also been accepted into the Michigan Marching Band program. That's the news I needed after a REALLY bad week. #GoBlue, and go Kieran! #wolverines

Keeping a braindead Mitch McConnell on life support long enough to run out the special election clock and maintain the Republican majority is really, honestly, what he would have wanted. They're just respecting his wishes.

I hearted a post three weeks ago about a poor Blueskyer that had to put their dog down. It was a heartfelt post, picture of the good boy, very sad. Bluesky's algorithm has decided that apparently I LOVE dead pets and the people that had to part with them. It's seemingly all I get now.

Want to interrupt the usual doom scroll with this: My oldest daughter is now a Michigan State University Graduate! Just in time for my youngest to start at the University of Michigan this fall. Truly a house divided against itself.

To any town with or it's being sited to have one of Trump's Prison Camps: If you allow this, your town's name will be forever linked to it. Mentioned alongside the likes of Dachau. And that'll be the least of your worries if good people have anything to say about it. Don't let it happen again.

Hey #MSNOW, maybe stop taking money for ads that are pro-Palestinian genocide? I'm NOT Pro-Hamas, I'm pro "not killing the entirety of a people because of the actions of an abhorrent few." I'm also not anti Israeli people. But their government is as bad as ours and I'll keep protesting both.

The feed on my YouTubeTV messed up in the weirdest way at the most inconvenient time. Dude slipped into Czech all of the sudden. I had to rewind it to confirm I wasn't having a stroke.

I used old pie crust from the freezer so it shrank and tore and generally turned out as a holiday appropriate chicken Franken-pot pie. It looks like he's begging for you to be his Angel of Death and release him from the pain. It tasted amazing though!

My youngest, getting her senior pictures done by dear old dad. Asked her if she wanted someone else to do them, but she insisted that I do it. Honestly, I'm glad. I did my oldest too, and they are both some of my favorite photos.

I don't know, man. I've been anti fascist my entire life, or at least until I learned about Italian and German fascism as a kid. They seemed, like, really bad men. To find out I was a terrorist the whole time is quite a shock.

I didn't like Kirk. He was a monster. A poison. A cancer on our society. But, he was a husband, a father. Presumably someone loved him. And moreover, someone who had the inalienable right to be a dickhead. He won't be mourned by me. But I didn't want him dead. youtu.be/UCBkt5Nt1wo?...

Just watched Superman, and I have to say this is the live action Superman I've always wanted. Cavill was great for what he was given, but Gunn has given me the Blue Boy Scout without it being cheesy or cloying. EVERYONE did an amazing job.
