What an abhorrent, sinister disgrace to humanity. Thank you for your vigilance and awareness.

I don't need your approval, and your attention is quite assuredly unwanted. You're free to move along from your targeted harassment now in response to my original post. Goodbye.

Nope. I wish I could say it's been enlightening, but...it hasn't. Enjoy your antics.

Yes, I am a doctor, and no, she actually said he was lying. It's there in black and white, several times, as she was kind enough to repost. I would like to suggest that you to read before jumping in headlong and talking about propaganda next time! Thanks for your comments. Enjoy your night.

Dr. Robert J. Proverb, Jr. @robertproverb.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
She literally said he was lying, lol I'm not mad at you tho, you gotta stand up for your friends. I just wish people would stand up against bigotry the way they argue with randos on social media. Have a nice evening!

Community Note: Here I'm saying that Debbie is being pedantic! So it would be perfectly okay for her to say something like, "Robert called me 'pedantic' 😭😭😭" if she chooses. I suggest single quotes for this case.

Dr. Robert J. Proverb, Jr. @robertproverb.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Thanks! I know you're trying to be helpful. It's okay, though, I already gave you an adequately specific reply to your pedantic denials of when you called Mehdi Hasan a liar. I'm sure you'll get the idea soon.

Dr. Robert J. Proverb, Jr. @robertproverb.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Oh cool, lesson time! When we say that a person tells lies (see below), colloquially, we are calling them a liar. We use single quotes for that! Double quotes and (sic) are for exact quotes like "Stop playing asshole." (sic). Mehdi Hasan is a Muslim. Learning's so fun! Enjoy your day. 😊

Thanks for the ad hominem, Debbie! You can find what you're looking for in your preceding post where you said Mehdi Hasan is lying. Hope this helps! Have a great day, fellow Democrat! (...albeit one who doesn't speak out against bigotry. You are one of the Democrats he's talking about, FYI.) 😊

Dr. Robert J. Proverb, Jr. @robertproverb.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Thank you for your loaded question, Debbie! Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY) is imaginary? I'm sure one day you'll have the integrity to shift your efforts - from calling Muslims 'liars' to speaking out against bigotry. Have a great day! 😊

While some don't do their research and aren't making informed decisions about politicians who lie - given that political identity can be culturally heritable - the issue is compounded by the fact that some people actively want to harm others. Ignorance plays a part, but I don't know how small.

It's total bullshit. We, the people of this city, chose our mayor. Outside New York? Don't like our mayor? We don't care. Stay in your lane. Furthermore, Democrats who take baited questions about Mayor Mamdani and don't immediately fire back with his accomplishments are throwing votes in the trash.

The Nazis didn't get their ass kicked by Hungary (an Axis power, later under Hitler's direct command). Perhaps you might consider that it's more a matter of experience as opposed to courage. We haven't faced such on our soil before, as Dr. Marshall stated. What is it that you are suggesting?

It's such a waste of potential. America to me was always a story about doing our best to do a little bit better, one day at a time - two steps forward, sometimes one step back. Now, it seems steps forward don't pad the quarterly profit margins enough. Who needs a giant leap for mankind anyway?

It's always about the bottom line, especially if there's lettuce in the burritos.

That's true. We are now being forced to outsource our knowledge - which means that we will no longer be self-sufficient in matters of innovation. Our economy, our quality of life, and our defensive capabilities may very quickly become derelict. We need science to survive.

It is, according to FCC regulations, illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news. The problem is that cable news networks and social media news do not fall under the definition of broadcasting, and are thereby not under the jurisdiction of the FCC. That loophole needs to be closed.

Yeah we have had a lot of PM2.5 particles here in New York the last couple of days. I wore a mask outside. The sunlight shone orange...very surreal. Although I'm sure the closer places have it worse.

A fair point. But Democratic leaders are out of touch with their base. Jeffries says he wants Israel to stop, but votes yes to military funding - despite over half his Democratic colleagues voting no. Leadership position: ✅ Actual leader: ❌ If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Dr. Robert J. Proverb, Jr. @robertproverb.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
More of this. Proactive measures are necessary. Attempts to suppress, undermine, & nullify our sacred franchise of voting are a four-alarm fire. We can't just play damage control. Representation is disappearing from the map and our rights along with it, and every legal venue must be boldly pursued.

Totally reminds me of this classic. I hope you get some rain soon 🙏🏻
Figure entitled, "Climate change, a timeline"

1. Climate change isn't real
2. Ok, climate change is real, we're just not convinced it's caused by humans
3. Oops
4. Fuck

Hakeem Jeffries is the House minority leader in Congress, and Bill appears to be expressing our collective frustration that the Democratic leadership (Jeffries, Schumer, etc.) have done very little to galvanize opposition to the actions of the executive branch. Correct me if I'm wrong, Bill.

I picked up copies of Dead Cities, Lifeforms, and Accelerator in high school - and the samples weren't always strung together in the most seamless or expected ways, but they were chosen meaningfully. Each song sounded like its own adventure, and I liked the emphasis on variety over consistency.

There's always someone looking to prospect real estate for a buck. Camp Russell in Utica, NY was 425 acres of pristine nature, founded in 1918 - auctioned for parts after 97 years of history. Protests to save it were felled by talk of "good business sense" like the grim reaper's scythe. It's gone.
Entrance and signage for the now-defunct Camp Russell, reading the camp's name, "America the Beautiful," and "Boy Scouts of America"

I didn't understand the context of conspiracy theories (as I don't move in those circles) and by extension, the joke... so I appreciate the discussion regardless. The internet can be a tenuous medium as far as humor is concerned. Maybe CERN should have done a better job when they invented it. /s
