Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 18/02/2025After listening to today’s Daily podcast, I think my new favorite thing to do is imagining Peter Navarro’s two remaining brain cells fighting over a molecule of oxygen. 000
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Is @aoc.bsky.social dumb? Why doesn’t she simply use her elected office to become rich via speculative asset trades and lucrative consulting opportunities? Doesn’t she know that being in Congress means she’s smarter and more capable than anyone on Wall Street? 000
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Yeah! It’s not like they actually lost the battle and then convinced the momentarily-still-possessing-entrails public to open up the gates of Rome for no reason. …Right? 000

Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 03/12/2024This seeming coup in South Korea could be Biden’s last big test or Trump’s first big failure. www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...bbc.comSouth Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol declares emergency martial law - live updatesIn a surprise late night address, Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been struggling to pass a budget bill, says the move is to protect the country from 020
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 03/12/2024@iwriteok.bsky.social Please explain why you’re using the military to halt parliament and why you want to do a coup for the lame duck South Korean president. 010
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 29/11/2024The thing about troll caves is they only fit so many trolls. 000

Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 27/11/2024You might be an orangeneck if… You get a young woman to print out the news and yell it to you, mid-jog, while you’re puttering around in a golf cart. mashable.com/article/nata...mashable.comDonald Trump has an aide who follows him on the golf course to show him positive articlesIncredible. Pathetic. Hilarious. 020
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Yeah, Bluesky: you’re great and all, but…you still have an API, you still have [app.feed.post]. Sigh. Btw, how are you doing today? 010
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Chef’s kiss on that one. But I think it’s simpler: if you vote for that guy, you gotta be pretty unhappy. Him winning an election isn’t going to change that. 110
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Sounds reasonable, but what’s your F1 score trend? 020
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 25/11/2024One benefit of mommy and daddy not talking: you ask mommy for a sick day, then ask daddy the next day. 000
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Tutankhamun remains the only ancient Egyptian king discovered to have been mummified with an erect penis. Nobody knows why. Most historians are like, idk religious revivalism maybe? 🤷 000
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Everyone I know who listened to him for an extended period of time is a kook. He’s a willfully ignorant contrarian and a magnet for people just like him. If you have a tiny bit of sense, you get bored of that approach pretty early in life. 050
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I find it extremely difficult to read a book while driving. I don’t care if it’s called reading — in that moment, it’s surviving traffic. 030
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024@profgalloway.bsky.social You said young people should seek out those in Congress who acknowledge the war on young people and the disastrously high deficit. Who are those congresspeople? Where are the think tanks? 000
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024It’s actually an instant classic if you treat it like any other Rob Reiner comedy 010
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I’m guessing the word radical is the issue here. People who vote against their own interests and embrace ignorance in their private lives are kooks/fools in my book. People who spread/foment hate or violence are radicals 030
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 23/11/2024For everyone who didn’t read: this is about how to de-radicalize someone you love. The subject is still a bit of a kook, but no longer a radical. It’s a good read. Do we still do that on this side of the political spectrum or is everyone done with that whole thing? 210
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Well, if you’re in national politics for like 6 decades, you build up all kinds of facts that people can look into. Like a policy record: votes, legislative proposals, executive orders, etc. I wonder what those facts might have to say about all this 110
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Here I’ll provide an analogy of what you’re doing right now: What magistracy was Caligula a member of since “the Republic flipped?” THE SAME CONSULSHIP HELD BY CINCINNATUS you fool. Ave Caesar, take your “Senate and People of Rome” elsewhere 110
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Well personally as an American who use public education as child I think that to learn all English tenses is pretty difficult, too 171
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 23/11/2024When I was a kid I’d day dream about finding a magic lamp and using one of my 3 wishes on world peace. Now I think of how to safely wish for like $10k so a devious genie wouldn’t bother ruining my life. I’d save the 2nd wish to reverse the 1st, and the 3rd to forget everything that happened. 000
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Wanna be a part of “The Resistance?” Form a union or join a union movement. Stop hiring permatemps. Stop laying people off for no reason. Stop offshoring jobs for no reason. Stop doing bad things to normal people you work with. Greedy people need your cooperation. Don’t give it. 011
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Bipartisan policy issue #1: pet care costs. Big corporations swallow up independent clinics, cut staff, raise prices, and force vets to upsell supplements and unnecessary services. Quote from the Observer. 000
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I actually like everything about this picture. RFK desperately trying to show us he hasn’t eaten anything, Mike Johnson sent to the kid’s table, and imagining the Trump staffer agonizing over what to get the two guys who definitely didn’t respond to their text. 010
Derek Peyton @nocollar.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Who do you think the 30-minute-lunch American dislikes more: the far away billionaire who doesn’t give them a second thought, or the professional-class neighbor who actively loathes them? 010
