Trump comparing himself to Bill Kilgore?🙄 He's not there to represent a well adjusted soldier y'all. He's a nut. And not even the right nut.
If POS compares to anyone in that movie, it’s Kurtz. Gone to fat and dissolution, he imagines himself a god.

Great work with the cultural reference boys.

In the interview, Mr. Kennedy said he would seek to prosecute medical journals under federal anti-corruption laws.
“I’m going to find a way to sue you unless you come up with a plan right now to show how you’re going to start publishing real science.”

For instance that brain worms are good for you?

The fascists have moved faster and further than most people thought possible. It is alarming. For the first couple of months, I was frightened. I'm still worried, don't get me wrong. We still have a fight on our hands. But I'm not scared anymore.

Because THEY are. Harvard was a mistake? Right.

Visited state capitol today. House passed the measure by a very healthy margin! If you zoom in a bit on the image, you can just make out me and my son participating in democracy while we still can! 😁 Seriously though, Maine stepping up to cover the title X funds stolen? 🥰

WASHINGTON—Looking around with despair as he searched for an open seat in the Pentagon cafeteria, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was reportedly forced to drink his lunch alone Wednesday.  According to witnesses, the 44-year-old former Fox News host wandered through the lunchroom and took slow, deliberate steps past tables filled with jovial military officers […]

How are you holding up? Tammy tells me your daughter got married? So happy for her!

I have missed you all terribly in my self imposed exile from FB.

What news?

My son is teaching with me now, which is fun.

Life since Covid has been odd.
Tammy has learned she has Auadhd

How you holding up these last 88 days? Not that I have time to count, but I think my math is right.

It's odd, because at a personal level, life has never been better form me.

Pesky fascism, shitting in everyone's cereal bowl...

Not a huge fan of character limits either.

So it seems like this place is more like twitter than FB, with the character limits and the @ nonsense.

Never could get the hang of twitter.

But at least it is not a cesspool of racism and misogyny, right?

Kinda got into it with Nat Rungee. Was he always a POS?

@brianlee44.bsky.social HEY!

I had no inkling you were on bluesky!

I am still learning this new space.

How are things? (Like, personally--I can see how things are in the big picture)

My son is now teaching English/Mythology/Comics down the hall.

Life is good!

Character limits, not so much!

Call your senator. Do it everyday, even if just to say, hey, how you guys holding up?

Today, call to tell them to vote against the SAVE act.

I said a bunch of other shit on FB, but apparently there's hard limits here.

I'm too old.

Autistic people and their loved ones have swiftly and publicly rejected statements by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, that people with autism will never play baseball, date, pay taxes or have a job.
RFK Jr. said autistic people don’t work or play sports. They say he’s wrong.
The health and human services secretary on Wednesday suggested that autistic children would never play baseball or pay taxes, enraging those in the community.

MAGA attacking DEI is going to elevate the most medicore white dudes at the expense of qualified people, especially women and people of color, and all of them, and the rest of us, are going to suffer.

Racism is always self destructive but then again this is America.

So we have an honest to god nazi enthusiast running the pentagon now. Good thing we got enough republicans to make it go to a tie-break! That'll be very comforting once military force starts getting used against protestors. Thanks, Susan, Mitch and Lisa for pretending to have spine. Couldn't find 4?
