@lukedecock.bsky.social do you think anyone who was late to both the U2 and Chris Brown shows at C-F due to traffic should win a prize? Or maybe the question is if there is anyone who actually suffered both, lol! Ooh, maybe the U2/CB/Outdoor game trifecta!

I’m not even gonna complain about the (ridiculous) price we paid for our UL tickets for that hot garbage, but I’m having trouble getting over paying $48 just for the privilege to park in the lot (at a “discount”).

The economy Trump inherited was the envy of the world. Within weeks, consumer confidence was plummeting, businesses were pausing expansions and investors were questioning the safety of Treasuries. Forecasters debated which was more likely: a recession or stagflation.

Someone said, of Kristi Noem, that she's the first online influencer Cabinet member. But the truth is about half of Trump's cabinet are there just to do shit like this.

And I can't unthink that, bc it seems like a vital understanding of what Trump is trying to do.

"The releases are the way a Fox News Pentagon talks, what they assume Secretary of Defense John Wayne would sound like."
