Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I wouldn’t hold my breath. French are known for mass protests, Americans are not. Certainly not on the scale of the French. 000

Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When I finish one of my current reads I’m moving on to The Haunting of Hill House. Appropriate for the season. 000
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Should probably start with people who have been around Patel while he’s been getting drunk. 020
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Better yet, stop letting Republicans define everything that Democrats support. Democrats support an unequivocally good is idea, Republicans redefine it in everyone’s minds, Democrats accept that and move right. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Be proudly progressive and explain yourself. Or go away. 001

Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It’s a status quo that we cannot afford to accept. I don’t know the answer, but we need one. Maybe coalitions of local parties dedicated to opening the system as much as possible, and growing from townships to counties to congressional districts to states over time. 100
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026We do have other parties, and we need to figure out how to support them. It’s happened before and will happen again. 100
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The GOP must experience maximum damage repeatedly. This will help to get rid of the traitors and teach the survivors that they cannot continue down their anti-American path. I’d love for the party to cease to exist, but that’s unrealistic. The Dems should have ceased to exist in the 19th century. 110
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Sounds like she went beyond the provided training and taught herself. That’s priceless. I’ve yet to do a plantation tour. Hoping my first will be one that provides honest history. I did visit Jeff Davis’ final home in Biloxi, MS. The guide was both poorly informed and misinformed. 120
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Sometimes an artist will speak with museum employees about a special exhibit. Most of the docents will then be ready to answer questions. Sometimes you get someone who goes above and beyond, giving all the most interesting background to anyone receptive, unprompted. Museums need these people. 110
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Good guides, docents, etc can make all the difference for a museum. Most do the job well enough, but a rare few turn an interesting visit into something special. 120
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026You’re invited to be a limited special media guest for dinner at my house next week. Travel and lodging will not be covered, and I’ve no idea why you would accept. 000
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Now do Alabama. (Please don’t. It’s too depressing.) 010
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Why does he want to put targets on the White House and national mall? 010
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I have to wonder who suggested putting a target on the national mall. 001
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026American “Cancel culture” has a history older than the nation. The charge gets lobbed at the left, but in modern times it has been practiced non-stop by the right. 000
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 14/09/2026US inflation was lower than most of the rest of the world at the time. I feel like the Biden administration did a decent job on that. 020
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 31/08/2026In normal times he’d be a longstanding punchline. Now he’s just the guy who leaves behind evidence of his crimes. 000

Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle have received a great deal of attention, but his other stories are often even better. I’ve wondered why no one has adapted more of them for the screen. Would make an excellent anthology series. 000
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Virtually every celebrity death gets a lot of attention on social media. I’ve seen three that were truly huge. The first two were Bowie and Prince. The outpouring for Dolly looks to dwarf them. 010
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I’ve no idea why they selected Obama, other than the nonsense they spouted about “potential.” Trump is never getting a Nobel. 140
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 25/08/2026You’re saying they gave it to Kissinger just to poke Sweden in the eye? “Fuck dem Latin Americans! Sweden won’t like this!” 140

Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 15/08/2026They’re generally not lethal to people without underlying conditions. Probably 40% of people have underlying conditions, many without knowing they do. These WILL kill people, whether agents try to or not. And some agents will try. 000
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Thanks for the info. The question remains, but Adams is presumably absolved. I know I heard of the city’s rat problem long before the Adams administration. The question is not extremely useful, but it’s worth remembering the city officials who did not take effective measures. 010
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I’ve spent less than 72 hours in NYC, so I’ll not pretend to have any knowledge of the problem beyond what has commonly been reported. This does raise a question, though. If it was so seemingly easy, why wasn’t it done before? 100
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I think probably most people are not well equipped to explain complicated concepts no matter how well they know the subject. 110
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Or maybe you’re just not good at explaining things. This is the usual reason. 120
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Before you leave a company make sure you know of any retirement benefits. Check back every few years to ensure they have all of your data correct. Update them when you move. 010
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Let’s be honest. This is a giant step forward for him. 010
Iain 🏴 @iabernathy.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It’s no less helpful than your comment. Get it yet? 000
