Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Oh dear. Look what's fouling the air in here. Can the PTB at Bluesky please keep him from turning the blue sky into coal tar and farts, and remove his account? He has no divine right to be here.

I found Trump’s racist attacks on Harris’s multiracial identity incredibly upsetting, the muted media response to it incredibly upsetting, and the NYT replicating those attacks on Mamdani via his national origin is also deeply upsetting

Rumor has it that spineless suppository JD Vance is now contaminating bluesky. Hoping to amuse myself with some pointed ego-jabbing I searched but I came up empty. Has he abandoned this excellent place for the pus-infested yet safe (for him) teats of xitter? Or visiting his balls on trump's desk?

Republican Senator Joni Ernst's election is in 520 days
As she disgracefully responds to her constituents, concerned that Medicaid cuts will kill people, with “We all are going to die”, now is a good time to highlight the Democratic candidate

Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst gets her first Democratic challenger for 2026
In his launch, Nathan Sage touts his background as a veteran, mechanic and sports radio announcer, pushing for a party that "people like me will actually want to be a part of."

So, Musk is leaving trumpville. Of course, that's after his teenage mutant incel hackers ("Big Balls"? I doubt it) illegally hacked millions of Americans' personal info. If you think he won't use it to his advantage, I have a bridge you might consider buying.

After two albums where half the songs were about Nicky Hopkins, and an entire mystery series (The JP Kinkaid Chronicles) whose narrator was Nicky's voice, he is finally being honoured by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. My first great love finally gets his due. #NickyHopkins #pianoman

I took part in the complete spending and social media blackout yesterday. It felt great. Made music with my band, got stuff sorted for our studio, ignored the frenzy, no credit cards, no social media, no shopping. I plan on doing it again, in the very near future. Anyone else? Chime in, please!

I just received my new pistol grip crossbow. I'm pissed I have to waste what's left of my life dealing with same BS I've dealt with since I took a beatdown from a cop in 1967. How the HELL are we not done with these "people" yet?

So, I just ordered a new pistol grip crossbow. Self cocking, 80-pound, metal bolts. Shit's getting real out there.
This was me with my old one, 25 years and a universe ago.
