Had been trying to leave the xitter for awhile. Tip: Just delete the app and close the tab. New Mexican. Former New Yorker (upstate variety). Into craft beer, truth, latin dancing (thank goodness for craft beer), decency. Software and science by day.

It really is something, isn’t it? How much fucking damage one horrible person can cause, how much havoc one horrible person can wreak upon an entire country and world, isn’t it? Hopefully, the American people are waking up to this.

Um, so it seems Lindsey Graham's sister isn't just filling out his term (which appointing her at all was just a token act of kindness to the family I figured), she's actually running for the seat? What?!

Every maga should watch John Oliver's show about Trump's pardons and explain why he shouldn't be impeached. So, so sickening.

If you're posting on social media and making jokes about a woman being shot, you need to rethink your life.

Is there any more annoying computer GUI bug than when you right-click to bring up a context menu, start to move to it, and it disappears? That'll get me several times in a row.

Not too long ago that the GOP got the vapors when Bill Clinton met the AG on a plane for a few minutes. Now I guess it's okay for the president to directly control the DOJ and have them arrest his enemies. Thanks, MAGA.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Trump and the GOP: inspiring us all to be the worst we can be.

NYT headline says Trump "shattering norms" re: Comey. How about ditching that phrase forever and instead pointing out how ridiculously unethical his corruption of DOJ is?

He deployed the national guard to evict the homeless but not the insurrectionists.

Let's keep pointing out that given recent events, Trump certainly could've called out the National Guard on 1/6/2021. Or he has no qualms doing so when it suits his purposes, and ending the riot on 1/6 did not suit his purposes.

All right, what the heck is going on here that the Fellowship of the Ring movie came out almost 25 years ago.

Sorry for the non-political post, but Mel B is an unpleasant judge on on AGT.

I'm not going to watch, of course, but how are Fox News and other such networks covering the protests?

There's a lot that's been said about the Noem incident, but as if we needed further proof that they're heavy-handed thugs at best, there was no apology or admission of any sort of error regarding Padilla's treatment. Horrible people with lousy values.

What a painful, stupid interview where trump is insisting that the guy in El Salvador has ms-13 tattoos. How does anyone defend this moron. So embarrassing.

@realtimers.bsky.social When you host people like Kellyanne Conway or Byron Donalds, you are driving away a good chunk of your audience. I'm fine with principled conservatives (a dying breed, apparently), but these hacks don't cut it.

What seems clear now is that we should've been pushing back harder against the anti-government propaganda that the right has been pushing for decades.

I haven't left the xitter entirely and still check in now and then. Current big topic is cozying up to Putin, and the number of comments there that are pro-Putin is disgusting. Hateful, illogical, childish stuff. Hopefully all Russian AI bots.

I remember fondly when things were kind of boring under Democrats and I didn't have to worry about the end of the country every day and could just live my boring little life.

I don't mean to sound paranoid, but is anyone reconsidering travel plans that involve flying what with Trump taking a sledgehammer to everything?

In the current big picture it's actually a minor thing (flooding is their strategy), but really, Google is going to show Gulf of America in Maps? Come on, Google. Pathetic.

I'm sure a billion other people are posting the same, but could there be a more stark contrast between Carter and Trump as human beings? A lot of people should be ashamed about their recent vote.

Seems recent events (elections, say) have proven that many of us are. Doesn't bode well for the future of the human race.

I watched the fight. I was predisposed to not like Paul, though I don't know much about him. He was respectful, though. His brother came across as a prick. In the end, it lived up to "exhibition", which is probably for the best.

One of the many horrible outcomes from all of Trump's lies is that state election officials and SOS offices are under constant cyber attack and have to worry about the physical safety of their employees. Real people's lives are being affected. It's so sick and dumb that we're at this point.

As someone who gets several colds a year (including now), I'd like to know when we'll have a pill with an army of virus-killing nanobots that I can lodge up my nose? Willing to beta test.

Steve Kornacki running county-by-county through the primary race in NH just seems extra idiotic this year.

Giuliani, like Trump and all the maga clowns, lies to the very end. Coming clean and admitting his wrongs is never an option. Just double-down on his BS.

Leave the world behind: an overly long movie with some very good and some iffy performances. The plot should have focused more on sensible action rather than endless character development. A bit disappointing.

Of the few xitter alternative sites I've tried, this is the most xitter-like. Wow.
