Here's my real concern. What's going to happen in 2029 when there are D majorities and a Democratic president is when the press is going to all of a sudden "rediscover" journalism and nit-pick about every single thing that isn't a hundredth as bad as any of the shit Trump has done. As always.

Dear Democratic Party operatives and affiliated organizations: I'm already voting D this November. And since I have signed up for exactly zero SMS alert lists, every single text gets reported as spam (at least until I find a blocker that actually blocks). Be better.

Hey, my brother and sister Democrats working on campaigns? If you're going to text me without my explicit permission for you to text me with moneybegging, I **am** going to block you and report you as spam. Being on the right side of history is no excuse for being a rude asshole.

Remember, Democrats, it's not enough to run on how shitty Trump and the GOP are. We need major things done, or at least we need major fuckery stopped. You cannot negotiate with fascists, you can only oppose them.

/A propos/ of nothing, among the things on my lottery list is to fund a new #LostSkeletonofCadavra movie. And season 15 of #MST3K while we're at it.

Good grief. It should not take four freakin' hours to transfer a phone number from one phone to another, especially when I'm transferring internally with the same provider. Instead, #Tracfone turned the whole experience into something like being tasered in the crotch. 1/

I can think of a few items he missed. Shutting down the ICE brownshirts and their concentration camps, impeaching Thomas, Kegsbreath and Blanche (at least) and reinstating Congressional oversight for a start. Expanding SCOTUS will have to wait for a sane president.

I want to make a couple things clear. One is that I am confident in my ability as a bassist. Two is that despite that, I am not worthy to have stepped on this circle, which has beheld Dolly herself. I was offered the opportunity to have my picture taken standing upon it. I knew I wasn't worthy.

Circle of wooden floor from the original Grand Ole Opry that I knew goddamn well I was not worthy to step upon. But you better effing believe DOLLY was!

The Rev Dr Sherwood Forrester @trdsf.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I have to wonder how many staffers it took to wrench the keyboard from Mango Mussolini's hands so he couldn't make Dolly's death about himself. Unsupervised, he would have. Someone must've realized him being a selfish asshole *now* would lose him what few MAGAts he still had on side.

Something really simple here. I want my medical decisions made by a doctor, not by an accountant. I have the *right* to be able to walk without pain, to be able to see without blurriness, and no CEO's paycheck is more important than that. This is why I believe in Medicare for All.

The FIGHT HARDER. No quarter against the bigots that attack the rights of our trans brothers and sisters! Because you know perfectly well it doesn't end there. Democrats in Congress and in statehouses need to tie things up in knot when in a minority and pass explicit protections in majority. 1/

The funny thing is, I don't remember the exact song, but it was the first time I heard a Jerry Garcia guitar solo and it just slotted into my brain and danced on all the same buttons a Bach fugue hits. Fall of 1980, it must've been.

I sometimes like to peek in on what YouTube comes up with for 'My Mix'. Tonight it led with Mongolian throat singing, bagpipes, and Latvian drummers. And it's really great. youtu.be/vztRqe_CHC0 Next was @sjtuckermusic.bsky.social's 'Threes'. My musical tastes do rather wander. XD

If things get any more fucked up, I'm just going to declare myself Emperor Norton II and be done with it. Your takeaway from that should not be that I have delusions of imperial grandeur, but that I am genuinely concerned about things getting worse—mainly, that they *can*.
