Claude Rains
@louisrenault.bsky.social
I‘ve been Claude Rains since the days of Usenet. Shocked? Invisible most of the time. Photography, dogs playing, caretaker & cook. Urbanism, more bike paths…please? Drives a big, blue TARDIS.
MST3K, Grateful Dead, Green Day, SF Bay Area retiree, YIMBY. 🌮
I thought that was the point of it.

Well... at least he's consistent. I would hope any future opinions of Bret's, measured against his consistency over time, should be immediately deposited in the proper receptacle... 🗑️

I really can’t imagine many places having less potential ghosts than, say, a bunker on Iwo Jima.

But in your particular situation, I can suggest…an alternative explanation?

Now, it's offered First Thing, At The Top, and will automatically play if I don't move off the fashy channel. That's new. It's something #Sling, or it's algorithm, has done. Yeah, I know, it's a tiny thing, and nothing compared to the rest of the horrors these fascists do. It's so...Banal, isn't it?

yeah, that's super.

Remember back to the election, when that lady who was Vice-President ran against Trump, and she was promising to help first-time homebuyers with $25,000? No? Yep, she did, but folx didn't like how she laughed, or something, so...here's 2K? 😒

Oh, and our New Venezuelan War! 🎆 🎉

I mean, it appears that the people in charge of enough destructive force to lay lifeless waste to the planet 🌎 are so out of touch with reality that they shouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of Reality.

I’m going to put money on Reform breaking their necks to be of service to Hair Trump.

We used to say “15 will getcha 20.”

I guess 15, nowadays, will getcha into Republican leadership

No, the bounce-pass is a fumble-recovery.

I think.... naw, yeah, that's what it is. Pretty sure.
