Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I thought the Random capitalization of Odd words was a Trump invention. Turns out, they appear to be coming from Harp. 010
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 21/08/2026If this were the NBA, we'd be hearing podcasts filled with debates on whether passing on her is the biggest draft miss of all time and if she belongs to take MVP votes from Aja. 100
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Trump was asked a direct question by a reporter. He is incapable of saying "no", "I don't know", or "I haven't thought of it". If they'd asked if he planned to speak with Chiang Kai-shek, he'd likely have said the same thing. I wouldn't read that much into this. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 22/05/2026This is why America is cooked. Instead of being working to stop blatant corruption and illegal activities, people instead simply want to get in on the action. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 21/05/2026No Epstein criminals arrested. Politicians who pushed to release the files voted out. Michael doing huge numbers in the box office. America 2026. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 14/05/2026American reading scores continue to plummet. It will be interesting to see what happens after another few years of increased AI use. 000

Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 16/04/2026New "productivity hack" from Ali Abdaal who quit his job as a junior doctor to make (very good) YouTube videos, grift into "subscriber content" and is now selling...creator tokens. Most people won't be scammed but it makes me mad that a lot of young people follow guys like him for advice. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Magyar would be center-right by American standards. If democrats had nominated such a person in 2024, they'd be president now. 010
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 13/04/2026American Christianity, in 2026, is a bigger threat to world peace than fundamentalist Islam or communism. 100
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Trump threatens to kill millions. Then doesn't. Many here respond with "TACO Tuesday'. W.T.F? I can't comprehend the depths of depravity it would take to decide that the President committing genocide though nuclear attack would be good for midterm polling. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 03/04/2026NATO isn't much about Russia anymore. The US pulling out of (and destroying) NATO would enable an Israeli attack on Turkey which the US would certainly join. 000

Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Impressive that oil has now passed the all-time covid high. Don't worry though as long as somebody remembered to fill up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Jasmine Crockett, Dan Crenshaw, Al Green, John Cornyn....all likely gone. Hopefully this is a trend and 2026 is a bad year for incumbents not named Massie or Khanna. 010
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Talarico pulling away easily and Crenshaw getting pounded. If the latter loses, I predict an arrest for DUI or DV inside of 18 months. 010
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 03/03/2026This is a very good read that democrats who wonder what went wrong should read. The comparison between DARE and maad is particularly insightful. I've made the same observations about Charlie Kirk and Turning Point before - don't think that anybody on the left has ever agreed with me though. 000

Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I'm shocked at how popular bombing foreign countries is in the US and how quickly people fall in line. "Support the troops." "Thank you for your service." Next step - politicians who did nothing to stop it will begin fundraising promise to stop it...in the future...if you donate today. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Will future generations be tested on this in school? "Which president said the following? a). JFK b). Reagan c). Trump d). Cartman" 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Listening to the State of the Union, I don't want to hear any Americans complain about ANYTHING ever again. I didn't realize that everything is basically free and everybody is rich. 000

Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Sports fans are partisan but, fundamentally, want the games they watch to be played fairly. Nobody wants corrupt officials, even if it helps their teams win. Sports fans DEMAND replays to get close to the truth. They may follow Team A but see games from Team B as well. 100
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 20/02/2026The following groups were exposed this morning. 1). Republicans who pretended tariffs were not taxes and were legal 2). Democrats who assumed the SCOTUS wouldn't rule against Trump Neither should be listened to. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 12/02/2026We've seen bad appearances before congressional committees but this belongs on the pantheon. Back when she was Florida AG she communicated.....normally? Now, she drips with spite and hostility. What happened to her? Do they have a special training camp that teaches people to speak like that? 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 01/02/2026PSA. Please don't do this. I get that it feels good but you gain nothing by shaming people who admit they were wrong and are now speaking out. We need people who can say they made a mistake. Trump doesn't lose because 100% of the left comes out. He loses when moderates flip. 210
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 01/02/2026It's good to see Fox News covering the Epstein Files. (These are the top two stories about the president on their homepage....thirty seconds ago.) 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 31/01/2026I am already done with political donations and may be done with voting. America has never lived up to it's marketing material but the current version sickens me. 010
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 31/01/2026I disliked Mitt Romney but the country would be on a vastly different path if he were elected in 2012. The worst part of Obama's presidency was his second term. The GOP would have been in power and moderated. Trump would have had no opening in 2016. 000

They voted for this directly or indirectly by either voting for this abomination or staying home entirely.

Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Honnold climbing 101 is the most impressive athletic feat I've seen in person. The ability to navigate such a spectacle (and it WAS a spectacle) and maintain focus on his primary tasks is something I don't know that I've seen done before. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 24/01/2026100% a good decision for Alex Honnold to postpone his big climb for at least another day. Building remains filthy following NYE fireworks show and I hope this rain will clean it off a bit. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Sensible people have to remember that the argument people don't get due process and federal agents can do whatever they please will be just as appalling when MAGA is on the receiving end as it is now. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 09/01/2026"Shut up and take the vaccine and you won't be fired" and "Shut up and do what ICE says and you won't get shot" are strikingly similar. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Received my second and third online death threats of my lifetime from this app in the last 24 hours, both for not being 'left enough'. X is an online cesspool with no guardrails but at least that doesn't happen. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 08/01/2026It feels odd that an entire country is watching government officials kill people online then arguing about it like it's a shot clock violation in basketball. This can't be good for society. 000
Terry @terryjbenzie.bsky.social · 07/01/2026It appears X has driven off another voice of reason. I hope @dancarlin.bsky.social decides to post here more frequently as we (the world) need rational voices like his. 000
