Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I once watched a Dad in a McDs add sugar to his kid's coke. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I lightning bolt would be lot more justifiable for that sinner 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 14/07/2026As an old and inactive natural products chemist, I am thrilled by this news. The story is familiar to me. Alas, this discovery has a long road ahead of it before it saves any lives. I wish it well. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Carbon dating? Be careful. Carbon rarely forms monogamous relationships! 011
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Hey, NPR. I corrected your headline to reflect something less pusillanimous than your lede offering. "T***p is expected to provide LIES ABOUT Iran and LIE ABOUT questions from reporters." 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert. I saw a cut elsewhere, and then looked at the whole piece. Talent trumps* propaganda every time. This part starts at about 20:35, but the whole interview is wonderful. *smackdown intendedyoutu.be"There's Nothing I Enjoy More Than Acting In The Theater" - Ian McKellen EXTENDED INTERVIEWYouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I just finished listening to that episode. Thank you so much for adding sanity as well as levity to that conversation. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 27/01/2026 Congresswoman Trahan, I applaud that you and the other Democratic Reps have finally drawn a line in the sand. Step 1, getting Noem out, is the minimum. Step 2, GET RID OF ICE AND DHS. A so-called investigation means that these redundant rnforcement groups remain and will return at some point. Thnx. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 22/01/2026We're all fine, thanks. Life just keeps going on uneventfully, which is a blessing in these crazy days, I suppose. I was in M'town in early Dec to visit with my sisters. Main St looks familiar, in spite of the new eateries and whatnot. I had to make a stop at the pretzel place, of course. Keep safe! 110
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I cannot be the only one who is alarmed, dismayed, or just cynical about the so-called Board of Peace. For f'n sakes, the Orwellian Ministries were intended to be a nightmarish warning, not a friggin' battle plan. I guess after one starts with a "Truth" social, the others just fall into place. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 16/12/2025I do remember that scene from the original show, and it pops into my head once in a while while putting on my footwear. I won't admit to which way is correct. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Hooray for the disavowing. Let's upgrade the whining to a lawsuit over copyright infringement. 011
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Satire is cruel on the audience when there's no truth to it. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 18/10/2025I wanted to be marching on pavement today, but I had to work. I still made a small contribution to the cause. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 08/10/2025I agree that adopting the hurled epithet as a badge of honor is the correct thing to do. The GOP tried to smear the ACA with the "scary" name of "Obamacare." The Obama administration took it and ran with it to a successful conclusion. 100
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 07/10/2025The government is shuttered. All the services that it provides to the citizens are being withheld. Come April 15, 2026, I shall deduct from my tax bill's income statement however many days' worth of idleness this comes to. Seems fair to me! 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 02/10/2025I get your reluctance. Hanging fascists used to be a thing. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 26/09/2025Good! We have several in the area around here, but sadly, I work on Saturdays. Go make noise! 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Oh, yeah! Now you're channeling Elvis, and it's fantastic. I guffawed at the Prager U quip. Keep on going. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 09/08/2025There comes a time where distinguishing between dumb and dumber becomes pointless. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 30/07/2025@billysimonsjr.bsky.social I [finally!] got around to your podcast with Resistor Vic today. You two had a great interaction, and I thoroughly enjoyed the banter. Your work is inspiring, so keep at it. I have also ordered a copy of your book! The world is better off with your guitar and harmonica. 120
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Logic dictates that someone, somewhere, somehow, is lying. My faith in the system is now shaken. Woe is me! 020
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Fat chance of all that. The D party elite are all bought, as well. Very few have any integrity. Maybe Chuck can dissuade me from this opinion in a strongly worded letter through ActBlue (f% them, too). 100
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 01/07/2025The armed and unidentifiable kidnappers who are roaming our streets and sending citizens off to concentration camps have to be stopped. We missed a chance and I blame Obama. Yeah! Remember how JADE HELM was a bust? 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 29/06/2025I think that giving it to Joe Biden would be even funnier. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 24/06/2025I have been following Vic for a while, too. I have yet to see your chat with him! I was excited about it when he mentioned you last week. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Oh, that's so mean! Such glitter crimes should never happen. Seriously, I would not recommend that anybody EVER beglitter an ice agent. Who would want to see such a thing? 050
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Oh, my. Noem had an allergic reaction to something? Is it possible that she embraced Truth? bsky.app/profile/wash... 020
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Andy B., how well you cut to the chase in a few brief words! How right you are. This clown-car administration is so inept that, if they were given control over the Rose Bowl Parade, the road would be covered in half-eaten taco crumbs instead of rose petals. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Hah! Next time, try steaming the veggies by cursing at them. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 15/06/2025btw, the follow-up tune was "Wouldn't it be Nice" from The Beach Boys. RIP, Brian, and thank you. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Sitting in my favorite local restaurant, Welly's. The piped-in music features Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth." How appropriate that one is for the end of a day featuring so many No Kings resistance events. What's going on? 110
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 13/06/2025I hope it's written in sharpened crayon. Blue, preferably, so that it is in solidarity with Democratic principles. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 11/06/2025TURN IT BLUE! Look at this beautiful map just downloaded from www.nokings.org The nation is covered in blue dots of sanity, and not red open space claimed to represent a "mandate." Join in. Be there. Good trouble - be it. 000
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Amen. Food fusion rules. And, this is from an eater who likes strange combos, but not ALL THAT STRANGE combos. 010
Andrew Staley @flaps415.bsky.social · 09/06/2025OK. I am surprised that Texas with its oil revenue and Florida with its real estate scams don't enter the picture. 010
