I heard Waylon Jennings' "Luckenbach Texas" about 20 million times in the car when driving around with my parents growing up. It may have been the first song I memorized from listening to the radio. This is a nice tribute to the town behind the song.

Look, he said he wasn't going to knock down the East Wing of the WH, said the war in Iran was won, said the economy was the best it's ever been like... today... maybe it's past time to report that the current POTUS is a lying POS who thinks his life is an AI slop video.

We should really think about taxing political contributions on a sliding scale up to 99.9999% or so. Maybe more. Also, criminal trials for bribery and fraud.

This is the way. Be anti-bullying. That’s what these multi-pronged assaults on trans people are: bullying.

“This impending AI apocalypse…” “Let me stop you right there… it’s an impending SI apocalypse!”

There’s been some discourse around tearing down the ballroom after this egomaniac is out of the WH. Maybe it just falls down on its own.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I’m not saying this is the administration’s stupidest policy, but… no, never mind, for sheer stupidity, it’s on top.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

This administration has an unhealthy obsession with genitalia and its functioning for the US Armed Forces. It's weird, unsettling, and pretty sick. Also stupid, but that's par for the course for this administration.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

This is another piece of evidence supporting my theory that Trump hates America so much for not re-electing him in 2020 that he is quite literally trying to hobble it, steal as much as possible from it, and leave a shambles that will take years to repair.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We didn’t have to live in a world like this. I just want everyone to remember that the next time we vote for this country’s leadership.

021

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

The FBI Director stating he ignores Open Source Intelligence should be quite concerning to anyone who cares about national security.

010

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

It is BS. It is also some "Those Who Walk Away from Omelas" sacrifice of trans kids (and adults) for something far from the promised utopia of Omelas in the story. It's a way to hurt kids and adults who are just trying to live their lives.

031

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

There is a case to be made that this is the most stupid thing DJT has ever posted. I mean, it's a tight race, but this is really out there...

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The GOP never, ever walks away from Omelas, even though it's hardly a utopia. They* actually like bullying and torture. * The current administration, the party as a whole, and anyone who votes for them, to be clear.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Nah, it was because of all the racism, Skippy.

021

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Let’s face it: Not only is this guy delusional, he has some weird-ass delusions.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Maybe it’s not “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, it’s “The Emperor’s Same Old Information Bubble”.

010

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

We can clearly see, from all his actions, that Donald Trump hates America and Americans. Probably because he lost the 2020 election, and that has left him bent on "revenge" for having his reign interrupted.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I… look, this guy should never have been near the levers of power and he’s doing real harm to the US that it will take a lot of time to fix.

010

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

This is your ever-so-demented-EO reminder that Executive Orders only apply to Executive Branch entities. Companies who do this are just brown nosing.

0253

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Nah. He might be slightly more credible than you, but you’re setting the bar really low.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

It’s maybe past time to be discussing how the current POTUS is a racist, addled, cruel, belligerent misanthrope who hates America.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

As a US citizen, I would feel much better if the current administration weren’t LARPing reality.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck?

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Ossoff implies Trump is following around a young woman like a delusional, sweaty puppy dog and they think she’s the target? Hilarious.

020

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I'm not sure which is more unhinged: a military complex/ballroom, or soliciting and apparently entertaining design advice from a guy who has been dead for over two centuries. In either case, it may be well past time to consider that the current POTUS has lost his f-ing mind.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

He’s not wrong. Heck, he was found guilty of 34 felonies. He avoided punishment by being re-elected to the Presidency.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

"Valor" and "Sacrifice" (the engravings on the statues) being gold-plated is pretty insane.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I'm just trying to figure out how much the bacteria/virus lobby donated to this administration. They are really getting their money's worth, regardless.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

He’d owe about $13.25 billion under this tax, and it’s astounding and terrible how much spending $100 million makes sense for him.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Again, Idiocracy was a movie with too optimistic a vision of the future.

Sometimes I get depressed about how easy it would be for someone with billions of dollars to become widely regarded as a great humanitarian by spending just a small fraction on helping humanity. Instead, those most able to help just go completely in the other direction.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Dinner tonight: Homemade Chile Relleno with Poblano peppers from the Farmers Market. Very good. Get to know your farmers.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Yes. Every Republican Congressperson who has “reasonable” comments in their past should have their radicalization by the current GOP highlighted for voters.

030

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

In all seriousness, this is a gift to El-Sayed in the general. Focusing Democrats on a vision like this instead of infighting and complacency is fantastic.

010

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I disagree that he’s doing a “great job”, but I accept his terms of surrender.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

RE: "TV ready abs" It sounds like he completely misunderstood the old saying: "An Army travels on its stomach..."

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Just think if Joe Biden had signed the IRA, having wrangled a genuine progressive legislative accomplishment out of a Congress that was not built for it, and then stepped down, how different his legacy (and the world) might be today.

Gazpacho is the perfect evening meal on a hot summer day when you overate at brunch. I speak from experience.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

IAD (Dulles Airport) is my local airport, is now delightfully accessible by public transportation, and has a lot to recommend it. Hearing Trump talk shit about it, and lie about it, is particularly galling. If you can’t appreciate the kitsch of the mobile cocktails lounges, that’s on you.

No matter how bad you think social media is for kids, AI crap is worse.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Yup. And I think it extends much further.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Or, have him do it and still don't vote for him. What? You think he's not going to do some other nonsense if he gets the real job?

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

To weigh in on The Odyssey after seeing it last night: 1. I wish some subtext had remained subtext 2. It didn't feel like a ~3 hour movie to me 3. Good decision taking a pass on the sirens' song due to "Didn't Leave Nothin' But the Baby" setting the bar just too damn high. 4. Really fantastic cast.

011

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

I think that people who knowingly make kids sick, and excuse it with self-aggrandizing language should also end up in Shepherd Book's (from Firefly) special hell where the other denizens are child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

000

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

We could live in a much better world if there wasn't a whole-ass political party in the US that is intent on reflexively being against anything that makes life better for people who could use a break.

Eric @ericasco.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Counterpoint: would not mind it.
