Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It could be worse. At least you’re not working for Cornell’s propaganda ministry. 010
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Interesting how the curator penned a self congratulatory piece for the Atlantic about how he had tried to save the center from within, but emails show he was enthusiastically participating in Grenell's plans to remove and replace the art. 08820
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ryan Fazzio, the GOP candidate for governor in CT, has a campaign ad in which a man is in cardiac arrest and Fazio enters the hospital room, says the guy badly needs a tax cut, and shocks him to life with defibrillator paddles. Dumb ad but apt depiction of the GOP's approach to health care. 033
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 17/09/2026There is definitely a good, timely horror movie to be made about the dogshit my daughter watches on YouTube. It’s either maniacal Taylor Swift obsessives or grown-ass weirdo adults playing with toys. 110
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Right. And those mistakes serviced Princeps’ ultimate goal of a Slavic homeland free of Austro-Hungarian rule. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Princip was a fool, but he also wanted his homeland freed from Austrian rule. His action led to that result. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 11/09/2026In the early afternoon of 9/11, needing to escape from the news but not really knowing what to do, my mom and I went to Kohl's to get me a sport coat. 021
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Is it the voters or the media that is perversely demanding "exciting" candidates? Pundits, political reporters, and 24-hour news channels treat politics like it's a sport. That "boring" candidates still win elections might be evidence that voters are capable of rejecting media-driven narratives. 100
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Leavitt is a sneering asshole who degraded our discourse in service of a cruel, racist, and wholly incompetent presidential administration. Glad she was accommodating to you behind the scenes, though. 020
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 12/08/2026The "colonizer holiday" thing was a very bad look. 180
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 08/08/2026But wokeness, on the other hand, was a world-historic calamity for highly paid NYT columnists. 081
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 07/08/2026They really don’t edit their columnists, do they? 030
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Why does anybody care what this has been says? 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Have to imagine that Tony is not enjoying his vacation. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Nevermind what would happen if a Democratic president showed up one day with a completely new head of hair. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The Enslavers’ Rebellion has a nice ring to it. 030
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 29/07/2026What if it did and the primary exhibit of the Buffalo section was Marv Levy’s embalmed corpse displayed Lenin style? 110
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Today's Fauci hearing provides insight into why Rand Paul's next-door neighbor couldn't stop himself from assaulting the senator. 010
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Much discourse on X about the dearth of conservatives in academia, but I'm not clear what is meant by "conservative" in this context? Is it scholars who admire the ideas of Edmund Burke? Is it someone who argues for intelligent design or dismisses climate change? Is it an enthusiastic Trump voter? 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I really dislike when people use the word "delicious" to describe something that isn't food. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I get it. I've been searching my whole life for a Lucian Truscott action figure. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 18/07/2026He’s complete with a pistol! How could you pass that up? 110
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 17/07/2026There must be a happy medium between gritty Times Square and Disney Times Square. 141
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Swan and Haberman treat Trump as if there is some mystery to him that requires explanation only they can provide. But there is no mystery to Trump. He's an obvious idiot and a megalomaniac. Everything follows from there. 010
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Todd Blanche seems like a sniveling little weenie. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 15/07/2026He didn't strike me as particularly nice, but "nice" is different than "good" or "virtuous." 010

Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Graham was an unprincipled and hollow man who shifted his stated beliefs as needed to remain close to power. There is no nuance to him. Your assessment demonstrates how reporters tend to view people like Graham through rose-colored glasses for granting them access. 020
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 10/07/2026If Trump wants to enjoy his Qatari bribe jet, I guess that's fine and I'm certainly not at all concerned about his safety, but I do feel for the staff who have been forced to fly on a bribe jet that lacks important security measures. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/u...nytimes.comNew Air Force One Lacks Defensive Countermeasures of Previous Model, Officials SayExperts said the lack of such capabilities poses a potential risk when the president travels overseas. The White House defended the aircraft’s safety. 000

Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 18/06/2026She's always been pretty awful. Employed Bill's triangulation bullshit without his charm. It didn't work. 170
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I do enjoy how the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become the perfect analogy of the Trump administration. Shoddy, ill-considered work leavened with a heavy dose of good, old-fashioned corruption and buffed with a bullshit PR polish leaves everything worse than it was before. 000
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Daughter: Where's dad? Mom: He's in the backyard practicing dressage on his hobby horse. Daughter (sighs): Okay. 010
Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 06/06/2026I wouldn't mind at all if Trump focused the remainder of his presidency on silent consonants and others quirks of the English language. 000
