tedfan.bsky.social @tedfan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My $90 bribe showed up, coming from the SSA. Nice of them to let me have more of my money I paid into the system during my working days. Still voting blue. 000

tedfan.bsky.social @tedfan.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Don't forget that some of Ross's officers advised against burning the White House, most notably one named Harry Smith, who was one of the handful of Wellington's staff officers to survive Waterloo. 000
tedfan.bsky.social @tedfan.bsky.social · 20/02/2025 I don't want to move out because my chosen family (all blue) is here, and like me, they are all property owners. (And I can't deal with the cold in my former state) So, all I can do is resist to the best of my ability, which includes saluting F47 signs wherever I see them. My finger is tired. 0210
tedfan.bsky.social @tedfan.bsky.social · 20/02/2025When I moved to FL 40 years ago, the state was blue and the general attitude was laid back. I was also a Republican but political affiliation didn't seem to matter then. Now FL has turned red and I've gone blue. 1260

tedfan.bsky.social @tedfan.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Trump, Musk, et al would appear to be laboring under the delusion that the people work for them. We don't. They work for us and need to be held to account. 020

tedfan.bsky.social @tedfan.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I remember reading background material about this film and how physically weak Olivier was from age & illness. You never saw it on screen tho. The scene where Lear carries Cordelia's body? They wanted to "fly" the actress to spare him the exertion. Olivier insisted on actually carrying her and did. 100

Both are so valuable! 227171311345
