tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 2hFSU football since September 3, 2023 is wild. Just an absolute free fall from the clouds since that Georgia bowl game. 000
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 4hFew things break the online/offline wall. This does. 010
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 4hI think there’s a real disconnect between normal people and the kind of psychopaths who will want to see this. It’s a fundamental thing that exposes how hyper online and insane this administration and its most ardent supporters are to the rest of the country. 122

tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 6hSimply: Decent people don’t want to watch these things. Hegseth and Trump can’t even comprehend that. 001
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 6hHegseth may have been over his skis here. Yes, Trump may be the kind of person who would watch. But Vance isn’t going to be alone in seeing that even if you want to do this and watch you should understand why it’s such a bad idea. 101
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 7hThe walk back will suggest he never said everyone could see it, etc. And they will stream it selectively or not at all. 010
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 7hI suspect it would be a violent, graphic half a minute or less. And maybe I’m wrong, but I suspect they will conclude it’s not worth it for that. 111
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 7hThey are not going to want to risk him dying defiantly. So no sound. And probably won’t show his face. 111
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 7hOne reason is: Hasan is in a wheelchair. They’re not going to want to show him being shot in that or moved from that. 111
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 7hFor a number of reasons, I’m skeptical they’re actually going to do this livestream. And I suspect it will move to “you overreacted over nothing.” 110

tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 21hIt kind of tracks a certain elite right wing mindset that we exist to breed. Being parents isn’t as important as making sure we don’t go extinct or something. 000

tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 22hI wish more shelters did this. It’s not a home. But getting out like this mitigates a lot of the damage the shelter environment does and makes dogs easier to adopt. Days and days of never leaving the kennel messed them up badly. 010

tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Mike Johnson doesn’t lie despite being a Christian. He lies to your face *because* he is one. 020
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think it was Evelyn Waugh who said something to the effect that “if you think I’m bad now, imagine if I didn’t believe!” I don’t know if that was true for him. But it’s increasingly clear a popular form of Christianity is antinomianism where belief is treated as a license to sin. 121
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Relatedly: why do these people appeal to such a broad swath of religious Americans? Because they do. 000
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026We say the “all want the same things” too much. It’s a lie! A lie! Don’t tell a lie that normalizes your opponent! 001
Reposted by @tedgehring.bsky.socialJamison Foser @jamisonfoser.bsky.social · 09/10/2026There's no pretense that we all want the same things but the other guy's ideas about how to get them are misguided. it's just "this guy fucking sucks for the following very simple and undeniable reasons." 235534

tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Collins might be a special kind of bad. But this is what moral authority looks like. And we’ve largely lost it. Hopefully this motivates the party. 011
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Does anyone else hear the Battle Hymn of the Republic in their head when Ossoff speaks or is that just me? 121
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I’m using “we” specifically because we are a democracy. Our constitution and our voters spit this government out. We can’t as a country claim the good without owning this collectively. 010
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026And there’s not really an end in sight. No point where you could say you think there’s a line out there we won’t cross. 110
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Every day we reach a new “this is what we are?” low. Sometimes a couple of times a day. 110
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026With some slight pauses the country has deteriorated since 2016. Occasionally with great leaps. Then some small steps back to normalcy. But it’s degenerating rapidly now. Every day, increasingly. 111
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Amen. We need to kind of get past the point of thinking this stuff only reflects poorly on some of the country. 000
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026There’s all kinds of barbarity we attribute just generally to nations without separating out dissenting voices. 000
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My related thought is what is says about us collectively that this could happen. Because it does say something, even if you’re personally against it. 110
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I won’t say that there weren’t attacks on what you might call conventional morality. But the supporters of that morality did as much damage or more. 000
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You mocked Jimmy Waggart! You mocked Oral Roberts! Yeah. And? 100
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I don’t know what religious figures Taibbi spent his time mocking. But the most frequent targets of mockery were people who were personally damaging to the credibility of organized religion. 110
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Had anyone said before Nov 2024 that Trump would bring back public executions I have a pretty good idea how that claim would have been received. The actual public executions will get a shrug. 010
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If it’s just some summer game and you catch a fly ball: give it to the nearest kid. If you catch a meaningful post season HR: Keep it if you want it. But don’t knock some kid over to get it. 000
tedgehring.bsky.social @tedgehring.bsky.social · 08/10/2026QAnon did a LOT of lasting damage to our politics. But it feels like the nuts quietly moved on when it turned out there was provable, real sex trafficking involving powerful people. 110
