John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I could be wrong on my math and knowledge of population numbers, but if 25% of Americans were Jewish, that would mean America has about two times more Jewish people than currently exist in the entire world. This proves we Americans are both racist and really bad at understanding numbers. 120

John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Thank you, governor. Some schadenfreude is understandable, but there was real harm done and we still want answers and JUSTICE for Good and Pretti and every single family that was broken by these absolute monsters. 000

The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people.

John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 25/02/2026I just got a random bout of existential horror thinking about all the doofuses who have used AI to "write" their cheesy-ass wedding vows. Thanks, brain. 010

Shaking Tom Homan's hand and agreeing to work with him makes you a collaborator. 541359

John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 29/01/2026No shit, this was the thing I needed to read right at this second for a little hope. Thank you so much. 040
John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 29/01/2026What ICE is doing in Minnesota is unconscionable. No ICE agent, CBP thug, or person who supports what they are doing should ever be forgiven.

John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Apropos of nothing happening up here in Minnesota, I finally finished the David Reynolds cultural biography of John Brown.

John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 25/01/2026He will go down in American history as a hero who gave his life trying to protect a helpless person from armed fed thugs. He should have been able to live out his life in peace and happiness, but tens of millions of Americans chose this. We won't forgive ICE and we won't forgive them. 030

John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Absolutely loved the special. LOVED it. But, just FYI, my wife and I started straight up, like, scream-crying at Bagel's memoriam. Good kitty. She was lucky to have you both. 000

John Wilcox @johnsthebest.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Just finished The Ministry of Time. Super enjoyable, perfectly steamy.
