tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think you are assuming things not in evidence. 001

tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I had to double check myself when my first thought was you were calling for a rewrite of the 4th season of Battlestar Galactica (though that would be good). 110
tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 11/08/2026French, who you report said "Court packing will lead to the dissolution of the republic", may have been right, but not for the reasons he assumed. We'll see how close to the cliff the Presidential Immunity decision takes us. 020
tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The problem that Bauer, French, and you fail to recognize in this article is that the Republicans have repeatedly engaged in Court packing -- Bush v Gore, Garland, and Coney Barrett. 110
tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I wonder if it’s better to take this to the unitary executive court or to just ignore it. 100

tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Regarding masks, there was a bigger mistake that preceded Fauci's, and that was the failure of the entire pandemic preparedness "team" to make sure that masks were stockpiled. If this had been done, there's no mistake for Fauci to make. This is a DHHS-level mistake. It probably goes back decades. 051

tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Helen -- without constant links to how this is happening and why anyone should care about this, your updates on this come off as perhaps more alarmist than they should. 000
tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 19/07/2026You just gave me a gift. I’ve been listening to Boz/Duane do this for 45 years, and I had no idea Scaggs could play like that. 020
tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I liked AllMusic better (and paid for it) when you focused more on timely album reviews and less on listicles. 000

tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 06/07/2026You concede too much. Asking for an arbitrary reprieve for an arbitrary penalty is neither corrupt nor opaque. For once, maybe a perfect call. A friend suggested that a nation's leader should not involve themself in sports. But nationalism is at the heart of the tournament. 100

tpopt.bsky.social @tpopt.bsky.social · 14/06/2026The right-wing has permission structures that let them jam on tan suits and blue jeans in the oval (and a ton of other stuff). I think they developed this by throwing all the stuff at the wall to see what stuck. It's pure id. 050
