I needed this reminder this morning, because even though it's 2025, it still applies.
Bullshit is indeed everywhere. A LOT.
From high-minded pundits to those who think toxic, passive-aggressive manipulation is the way to a healthy relationship.
If you smell something.

Hmm...wonder if their need to tighten the belt has anything to do with the $40M they blew on a puff-piece 'pay to play' for the worst First Lady ever, to appease her dipshit dictator sugar daddy.
They could've given those 16,000 people a $2,500 severance for that $40M.

Trump flat-out said on camera the Second Amendment isn't applicable to anyone who didn't vote for him, and MAGA media's gun-loving zealots backed him up.

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week.
No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media.
Now imagine if this were done to Republicans.
The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

Fifty years ago, comedian David Frye lampooned Richard Nixon and Watergate perfectly. It applies to this bunch of halfwit fascists as well.

People who are to blame...lose their jobs.
People who're responsible do not."

Sam Darnold might go down as the Jim Plunkett of this era, which isn't a bad thing.
Drafted by the Jets.
Written off as a bust because the Jets suck.
Rode different benches around the league.
Got close with Minnesota.
Got there with Seattle.
Were it not my Pats he's playin', I'd root for him.

Gotta ask @clintgage.bsky.social, as I'd been a loyal listener/viewer of the Top 100 pod since episode 1.
Is it officially dead now in light of the staff cuts last year, or is there a new season still in the works?

I said years ago to an ex-friend who went MAGA, Trump didn't have to come take your guns. He'll convince you to give them over willingly because you're too stupid to realize an actual tyrant when you see one.
The Republican position on guns is and always was that guns can only be used by lone wolves to murder schoolchildren or by Republicans to murder whoever they want.

In order to justify fascism, every principle and credo -- pretended or otherwise -- can and will be jettisoned.

No surprise that all those who've spent my lifetime screaming about 'defense against tyranny!' by building their own personal armory are glaringly silent now.
Why? Because the now-tyrannical government bought, deputized, and ordered them to use their guns against their fuhrer's enemies.
