Happy Veterans Day to all of the bonfire burners here on @bsky.app. We are all just a bunch of entitled kids who have never done anything, not like poker stakes crypto king Nate Silver. That douche canoe served himself, never his country.

Oh, I had company too. Very good company. @jokar.bsky.social

Then we had an oven-fired pizza with lemon slices on it and a local IPA. Highly recommend.

And I am NOT a hater. Took my daughter to see TS in Salt Lake City during the 1984 tour. That album is top notch. The show was fantastic too.

Trump: “Shutdown? My ballroom is mission essential!”

Others endure hardship while he lives the regal life. Our American king.

Okay, because it’s Trump 2.0 you have to like triple check whether something he wrote is real because my god the disinformation out there right now.

At any rate! This is a huge sea change and I hope we don’t continued the bipolar Ukraine Russia NATO policy.
