Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 1hOpe, just gonna assimilate you there friend. You could resist, I guess, if you really want to, but it might be futile and all, but you just do you ok. 000 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 8hMy understanding is that it works off of highly compressed air, but even still, given the tendency of this guy's stuff to be wildly underengineered and explodey, imma very much gonna sit this out for the foreseeable ever 060 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 9hI got a formal reprimand put in my file at one place I taught because I kept granola bars in the back cabinet that kids could have if they were going hungry at home, because I needed parental permission. I didn't have enough desks for one class. It's laughable to think we had an operating theater. 010 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 23hLook, I grew up with the Brewers in the 90s and aughts, god damn does this feel good. I really don't think either Cleveland or Tampa Bay is playing well enough to take them on. Gotta play the games, but man is this nice. 000 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 16/10/2026The Brewers are playing with just so much heart right now. As someone who grew up with them in the 90s and early aughts, it's just so fun to watch this team. Just scrappy, never give up baseball. 010 0

Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026But traditions and norms clearly mean little to them when they want to break them. Assigning some opinions to Alito knowing how cruel and horrible they would be written is a choice. Given that, I don't know that the race to the bottom holds as much threat as I wish it did, as it's already there. 010 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026For all of Roberts' handwringing, he has done a lot to undermine the legitimacy of the court. This has, of course, accelerated significantly now that he can no longer be the swing vote driving slower, more measured swings to the right, and he and ACB are struggling to hold the center. 100 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026For what it's worth, I generally agree with the problems you raise and the consequences of expansion. I *do* question whether this particular court has the self-introspection to pull a modern "switch in time that saved nine," though. 100 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026There's a lady a few blocks down who moved up from Tampa to be closer to her kids last spring and she was dying this summer. She couldn't believe it. It really hits different. The winter I can take, like you can always put more layers on. But there's only so many you can take off. 110 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Oh, I get it, I've spent some time down there and was out in Medora, ND for a summer during a stretch where it didn't get below 100 degrees even at night. And it still wasn't as bad as 85 degrees up here with 478% humidity. 200 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Brasel's all right. She isn't a hack, she's a solid jurist and fair. 050 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026😂 I promise the heat is worse here! I would rather be in AZ in 110 than where I am at 80-85. The humidity is the killer. 100 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026If you're right on the shore like we are, it's not actually too bad. We get some cold spells, but with climate change, we've actually had more problems with heat and mild winters. You'll get the occasional polar vortex dropping to 30-40 below, but usually not for long. 100 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026The minute you accept some people deserve fewer protections than others, it just turns into a fight about who is deserving. And that, friends, is how you get concentration camps. 010 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026In law, there's an old saying: don't accept the premise. "If you do it to us, we'll do it to you" accepts that their premise is valid to start with. Same with the trans panic: the premise is invalid. Normalizing throwing marginalized groups under the bus is wrong, period. 130 0

Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I'm in a pretty good state, but between gov't wage freezes three years in a row and benefit cost increases, I make less now than I did 3 years ago takehome and things have, uh, not gotten cheaper. 😭 We're down to 1 kiddo on WIC now, but at least they still qualify for Medical Assistance. 050 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Once again, if I had the mind control power to turn your kids trans, I would 100% use it to get them to turn in their homework on time first 010 0

Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 13/10/2026We need to save receipts. And we're gonna need some Nuremberg trials. No pardons. No forgiveness. The biggest mistakes we made were not letting Sherman go far enough and letting Ford and Bush get away with pardoning all those assholes. I'm generally against general deterrence. But. 110 0
Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Arthur Brooks says contempt is the thing that kills us. But I honestly don't know what else I can have towards this behavior. It's vile. It's gross.

Pete Kruger @petekruger.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I really do think that he is near death. It's a classic end-stage dementia symptom to lose all inhibitions like this. Not just the swearing, the violence, the racism, all of it. Grandpa's brain is melting and he's even vaguely aware of it on some level, but he can't actually accept it. 110 0
