trdonoghue @trdon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It’s fairly remarkable that once the boomers in CA got their free college, and bought a cheap home due to post-war building they just knocked out all of those support structures for everyone else. Free tuition, gone. Housing, banned. Property taxes, frozen. Generational level sociopathy 64713

trdonoghue @trdon.bsky.social · 21/09/2026My favorite bit of stadium naming lore… August Busch wanted to name the Cardinals park after Budweiser. MLB said no to naming a stadium after a beer so he called it Busch Stadium and then 2 years later Busch beer hit the market 140
trdonoghue @trdon.bsky.social · 17/09/2026A friend was hosting bar trivia one night and I joined a random team of their friends. The theme for the night was “1994” and when the second question was about OJ it became apparent that I was the only one at the table who was /alive/ in 1994 130

trdonoghue @trdon.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Doing a critical read of a quarter-wit‘s propaganda book is certainly a choice. Feels like you’re actually doing him a favor here by playing along with the fiction that his ideas merit good faith engagement. Even Rich Lowry doesn’t think Rich Lowry’s ideas merit good faith engagement. 000

trdonoghue @trdon.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Here’s the thing though… if it was a back channel meeting why the fuck is Jeffries there himself? This is pretty basic stuff. You are a principle. Kushner has no official role. You know they will leak the meeting. Why are you personally there? Clown shit 010

trdonoghue @trdon.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I’ve enjoyed this decades long running bit in the Phish community where people reference a totally made up song (“DEG”) that the band has allegedly been teasing in jams for years. Gotta say it’s pretty innovative to start inserting it into other jamband discussions. Hippie snipe hunt 120
