Herne @herne.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Maybe it's time to "ruin a few frat boy's lives" rather than placing the blame on the victim? Maybe that would stop the next attack? Nah… that would require an admission of guilt. 010
Herne @herne.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Does anyone else think that 80% of America's problems is that they can't mind their own business when it comes to other countries? Just me? 000

Herne @herne.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I dunno, if the Missouri GOP are going to ignore the court ruling on gerrymandering then maybe it's time to start putting them in jail for contempt? 000

Herne @herne.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Amazon seems to feel that hate-filled comments on "Every Child Matters" First Nations t-shirts "don't violate community guidelines." Alrighty then. 000
Herne @herne.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Of course I found the DEAD LIKE ME: LIFE AFTER DEATH movie on Amazon after I purchased the DVD on eBay… Oh well! Saw it now. Gotta say that they didn't do the series justice in the movie. 000

Herne @herne.bsky.social · 11/09/2026So I got an unsolicited text from a guy who is running to be the new Mayor of Toronto (because I have an Ontario phone number). Talk about being tone deaf to people's privacy. Nobody likes unsolicited texts to their phone, Brad. Instant block. 000
