When @strictscrutiny.bsky.social is giving Moss vibes with "Pretty flippin’ wild!" in the show abstract, it could be time to call 0118 999 881 999 119 7253.

But I suspect his testimony might be better than Bondi's

Just saw one of those plastic "Vote for me" signs on the side of the road.

It was:
Vote
<first name> <last name>
For Senate.
MAGA warrior!

By this point, associating with maga should be terminal to the wannabes campaign.

Yet, here's a guy expects being connected to paedophiles will score votes.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

Originally an excellent track by Sarah McLachen, this remix take it to a whole new level.

It rolled in this morning, and I couldn't help but turn it up, raise my arms, and let loose.

We're thoroughly enjoying the good feels from watching "Ted Lasso" for the second time. The messaging of this track at the end of an episode hit me hard.

This is cutting your nose to spite your face. Defunding hiv prevention and surveillance benefits no one regardless of who you voted for. Public health and disease prevention should not be partisan.

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to the lady I followed on to the train this morning.

You seemed nervous, and looking back on it, I can that my initial hurrying to the train didn't help that.

I'm going to try and do better in the future.
