Just a boy, standing in front of a new social media platform, not wanting to support a toxic billionaire. Cubs fan. Dad. Trail runner. Not necessary in that order.
This is seriously fucked up. Billionaires killing journalism for access, profit and power. 🤮🤮🤮

The Trump crowd wants to kill FDIC, install tariffs *and* bring back polio?

I guess all this time the magical past of American Greatness they’ve been aiming for has been the banner year of 1930.

Can’t wait for the soup lines! Wheee!

Nothing causes me to lose faith in my fellow men quite like the ever present puddle of pee under a urinal. C'mon boys, hit the bowl. #LowBar

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

This is really dangerous rhetoric. Hard not to feel like we're entering a particularly tumultuous time and global instability.
Elon Musk thinks HE won the election and gets to be the autocrat. Fascist and delusional to the core.

Never forget that Big Christmas Light counts on you to not keep boxes and receipts. Don't let them win.

So I guess this isn't about winning, cause the MAGA guy got in again. It's all about hate and belittling. It's sport, and they'll do it for the next four years. SMH

Walmart supported Trump's election campaign, and now crying foul on tariff impacts. LOL.
BREAKING: Walmart is openly voicing concerns about the potential damage of Donald Trump’s tariff plans. Trump’s tariffs will damage supply chains and dramatically increase inflation.

This gave me goosebumps.

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.

A man came up to her and started talking to her.

A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”

How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”

We need each other.

I don't get all this anti-Trudeau talk in Canada. All I see are bumper stickers on vehicles saying people want to "F*ck Trudeau". Mostly dudes in black trucks. He's killing it with the gay male demo!!

It's wild that the MAGA top talking point has been to call their political rivals groomers and pedophiles, and they are now celebrating Matt freakin' Gaetz.

If it was just unvaccinated people that were impacted by what he's proposing, that would be one thing. But it isn't, and this will have massive global ramifications.
