MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Lots of thirty-year-old people need to keep working in order to afford healthcare coverage for their family. Most people, actually. Why should Bauers be any different? Because he’s a pro athlete? Retiring at age thirty is a luxury most people can’t afford. 030
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Yeah, they called me too. I told them I’m not trading Malik Nabers, especially not for a backup RB and a kicker. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Who needs a mattress? I sleep on a giant homemade brownie. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 12/10/2026When did she start “telling it like it is”? When she was Jim DeMint’s Senior Comm’ns Director and speechwriter? When she did the same for Ted Cruz? I don’t think so. She’s a paid liar. I am a party purist. I always vote Democrat. Because the Dem candidate is ALWAYS better than the Republican. 030
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 12/10/2026You will never wash off the stink of your years of work for the Republican Party. 010
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 12/10/2026If Kristol had any shame, he would disappear from public life, sit in a dark room, and pray for forgiveness for (among other things) his cheerleading of the Iraq War that killed thousands of people. But he has no shame, and he wants to make $ by offering his “sage political advice” to Dems. F that. 100
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 12/10/2026As you point out, even when Kristol is doing something right, he uses it to criticize Democrats. I’m not interested in his “constructive criticism“ or anything else he has to say. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I’m not interested in anything you have to say. You have lousy judgment, support awful policies, and don’t have Democratic interests at heart. I save my time and attention for Democrats — the people who have been correct about Trump and the rest of the disgusting GOP for decades. 150
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 11/10/2026He’s an enabler. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and he’s been doing it consistently for years. 010
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Do you mean the Amanda Carpenter who was a senior staffer to Senators Jim DeMint and Ted Cruz? And who, despite being anti-Trump, is still a Republican? Yeah, I’m not a fan of hers either. 220
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It’s hilarious to see nepo-baby Bill Kristol (son of “godfather of neoconservatism” Irving Kristol) criticize other nepo-babies. I’m sure Bill Kristol has cashed in nicely from his decades of riding his father’s coattails. But no Democrat should ever give him a dime or take his political advice. 320
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 10/10/2026That’s super cool looking. I follow a few art accounts, and at first glance I thought this was an abstract painting. 020
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026These sanctions are lighter than I think is deserved. But if I ever was the subject of a sanctions order such as this, I would want to crawl in a hole and die of embarrassment. The order itself would be more painful and humiliating than the sanctions. 150
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026As a lawyer, I believe that the Supreme Court’s blatant corruption and hackery is so much worse than Trump’s corruption. It completely undermines the entire judicial system. 130
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You’re “honored“ to speak alongside GOP Rep. Guthrie, who supports the repeal of the ACA? Who co-sponsored a bill to reduce Medicare’s power to negotiate drug prices? Who opposed Biden’s plan to forgive student loan debt? Who voted no twice on Trump’s impeachment? You really disappoint me. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m NOT a fan of The Bulwark. It’s owned and staffed by former GOP operatives who helped build today’s monstrous Republican Party. Although they hate Trump, they still have terrible judgment, support lousy policies, and don’t have Democratic interests at heart. They can’t be trusted. 140
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Why does SAS get so much airtime? Has he ever had an interesting or intelligent thing to say about anything? Do people really enjoy hearing him shout all the time? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. I don’t get it. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It’s not “wild” at all — it’s ordinary. Most 30-year-old Americans need to keep working in order to afford health insurance. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m an American Jew with plenty of Jewish friends. I don’t know a single person who vehemently supports Netanyahu or cheers when buildings collapse on Palestinians. 210
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026What in the world are you talking about? Do you really think that there are no Jewish farmers? Do you know that Jewish Israeli settlers are famous for converting arid desert land into thriving farms? 010
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Mamdani didn’t equivocate. He said that the Oct 7 attacks were “horrific war crimes”. He didn’t say they were justified in any way. All he did was state the obvious truth that Palestinians are suffering horribly from Israel’s response. It’s never the wrong time to acknowledge people’s suffering. 120
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Your comment exemplifies why the I-P conflict continues: Each side prefers to nurse its own grievances rather than recognizing each other’s suffering and working to end it. But that’s just one Jew’s (my) opinion. 110
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Somebody has advised Geno Smith to run the play clock down to 1 on every play before snapping the ball. It’s such a stupid way to play, for many reasons: 1. It leads to delay of game penalties. 2. Defenses can time their blitzes. 3. It forces the O linemen to hold their stance for too long. 020

MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026100%. But remember that even if Democrats win back the House and the Senate, Republicans will still control the Presidency (along with the entire Executive branch) and the Supreme Court. I expect Democrats to fight tooth-and-nail over the next two years. But I don’t expect them to perform miracles. 010
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Goldwater. Nixon. Atwater. Reagan. Meese. Scalia. Thomas. Gingrich. Bush. Limbaugh. Beck. O’Reilly. Hannity. Bush 2. Cheney. Alito. All horrible, and all before Trump entered politics. Trump hasn’t changed the Republican Party— he’s just taken off the mask. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This implies that if men could get pregnant, men would vote in overwhelming numbers to legalize abortion. And that’s probably true. So why don’t women vote in overwhelming numbers to legalize abortion? A lot of blame has to go to Republican women, not just men. 100
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Bill Kristol will never wash off the stink of his decades of service as a Republican operative. He helped build today’s monstrous GOP. Nobody should ever listen to his political advice. Especially not Democrats. 001

MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Catholic doctrine spoke about astronomy for years, too. It didn’t mean the pope had any real expertise on astronomy. There’s no third option? Nonsense. There are plenty of AI experts outside of SV who don’t claim to be god’s representative. I’ll listen to them, not the silly hat guy. 100
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don’t deny he has a very large audience and platform, but that doesn’t give him any expertise on AI (or lots of other topics). If ten million Amazon investors want to listen to Jeff Bezos’s pronouncements about HVAC systems, I can’t stop them. But it doesn’t make him a competent HVAC engineer. 100
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I fully agree with what the pope said. But I don’t give him any *special* credit for saying obvious things that almost every other person here on Bluesky already believes. His words don’t carry any more moral authority than yours or mine. 141
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026OK, so let him issue an inter-office memo about AI to his entire team. But I don’t work for him and don’t have to pretend that his opinion matters more than anyone else’s. Being a CEO doesn’t give Jamie Dimon special expertise on growing houseplants, or give Jeff Bezos expertise about HVAC systems. 200
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I had to do it too. He kept Rickrolling me, and it was really getting annoying. 1160
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The Pope is just a guy like anyone else. Maybe he’s a nice guy, but there’s nothing divine or holy about him. If I met him, I’d treat him no better or worse than any other person. And while AI sucks, I find it hilarious that the Pope thinks he has special standing to make pronouncements about it. 100
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026As an atheist, I’m not worried in the slightest about “catholic god”, Zeus, Thor, or any other god. Just like I’m not afraid of werewolves or Freddie Krueger. 310
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Whoever plays Mayor Bass will have an easy job, staying in the background and doing nothing. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That’s a winning message. Every Democratic politician should adopt it. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Gee whiz, you’re finally catching on to what @driftglass.bsky.social has been warning us about for years. 010
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There are multiple factual errors in this article: - Dylan Parham is NOT a backup; he’s a starter. - Mason Taylor is NOT a backup; he’s TE2. - Kiko Mauigoa is NOT a starter; he’s a backup. I’m glad you’re covering the Jets. But please do better. 000
MattoQP @mattoqp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The death penalty is a grotesque moral stain upon all involved, regardless of how well or poorly it is carried out. 040
