Telling that I was Cheering for Canada tonight in the 4-Nations Tournament. When the u.s. Captain hopes for Trump to show up and support them . . . Oh, Canada . . .

Banning “men” from women’s NCAA athletic competitions as transgendered participants is really some next-level problem solving. The 10, or so, athletes in question, across all levels of collegiate levels may be saddened, but good for the rest of us! Phew! BTW, still haven’t fixed eggs, gas, etc.

I take zero pride in admitting this. But, for all the average Joe’s, low-income households and those who complained about the Economy and voted for Trump, buckle up! You are, unfortunately, going to experience actual hardships implemented by this man’s actions, policies and rhetoric.

The Office of the President is now just Trump as The Apprentice. Create conflict, foment outrage, bully for content and distraction. The man who campaigned on “I hate Taylor Swift!” told us who he was. But eggs! Which are at an all-time high. Biden’s fault though.

I love your honesty and how direct you are, without any F’s to give. Also reminding people that no one would question those traits in a man. Appreciate you.

Dude is a moron whose only “qualification” to be a Senator from Alabama was being the Head Coach of Auburn football. You know, sort of like the only “qualification” for being President being a Reality TV star and fake successful businessman narrative.

That report is likely a manufactured deflection to blame the Biden Administration. “Look what we were left with. Not our fault.” Watch the video I mentioned. Captain Steeeve on YT. Highly informative and detailed.

A video with an experienced pilot had the ATC audio. There was nothing to suggest anything “not normal”. ATC repeatedly asked PAC 25 (helicopter) if they saw the flight and they responded in the affirmative, were granted “visual separation” twice, meaning they had responsibility to clear the plane.

I was so pleased to hear how much Kara loves this series. I, too, had to re-watch for first season. Highly recommend. I only wish all the episodes came out at once. Yet, I acknowledge that streaming services have to have a hook beyond a 30-day trial. Well worth the sub. Oh, and Shrinking. That too

What is a Republican now? They literally want government control over legal policies of privately held and owned companies. I thought companies were free to refuse making cakes for gay marriages?

Glad to see they are cutting funding for the fabricated villains of “woke gender ideology and the green new deal”. (That is actual text, not fabricated.)

Feels like a simple solution is that Columbia beans get “sold” to shell companies in neighboring countries like Peru or Ecuador. Similar to how my beans are “from” Italy, Lavazza. Pretty sure those beans aren’t from the Tuscan hillsides.

The irony of posting one’s faith in an invisible, omnipotent entity that presumably allowed a second Trump administration cuts deep. Also, Freedom of religion also implies Freedom from religion. So, yes. That.

Stephen Miller working hard to implement 4-year’s worth of dormant, festering and vile policies to demonize and persecute “the Other”, whoever is lumped into that subservient class of people.

Chris Cantú @pohlcat.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Well that was a deeply depressing read, but I appreciate hearing what I agree is the hard truth. Another dynamic that hinders liberals v. Conservatives is that they have an easier path to provoke outrage of what they oppose: Woke, LGBTQ, drag queens, Critical Race Theory. “What I am for? Not that!”

Eating in the Michigan Union as a student, in 1986, overhearing Michigan Band members. “They were throwing pennies and batteries.” I rest my case. Michigan fans throw piss-poor insults, not objects.

All of these men, Trump included, have a void, a yawning chasm, that they are trying to fill. As Mary Trump, Trump’s lesbian niece who he openly ogled, titled her book: Too Much and Never Enough

I don’t disagree necessarily, but the bigger question is what does the GOP even stand for? It has no core tenets and values that I can discern other than fealty to power and money. It has literally not had a platform the last two election cycles. This is a The Emperor Wears No Clothes dynamic.

Fair enough. I suppose it could be chalked up to Kara’s term, “grievance industrial complex” in that she recognized the monetization of grievance and rage for clicks and bucks. A modern-day Faustian bargain.

Honest question: What is your theory for what happened to her? She was once an arguably reputable journalist in an admittedly right-wing swamp. Then came the “blood from where ever” remark and she began her Colonel Kurtz descent up the river into true darkness.

Funny how White Privilege claims to be color blind. Also, See: Trump. The White convicted felon, liable for sexual assault gets elected over a career prosecutor, but for her gender and races.

Maybe? I can appreciate that she left, likely because she didn’t want to be paid by Bezos. (You would know better than me.) But also, I agree with your wife that podcasts, and individually produced content is the more profitable way for journalists as legacy media continues its death spiral.
