The cruelty is, always has been, and always will be the point with President Manbaby. Happy #Thanksgiving! #SNAP

I think Walmart Pharmacy texts asked me to sign a prenup. (They don't realize I dumped them for @costplusdrugs.com.)

We used to watch college football and NFL games on the only three channels we had. Of course, one-third of U.S. children died that one Halloween because a mass-murder commercial disguised as a "big giveaway" didn't get stopped on the third channel in time. But there had to be a tradeoff! #YouTubeTV

One hour before Halloween, #YouTubeTV kicked off trick-or-treating early. With a trick.
Besides your local ABC station, all Disney-branded channels, and all ESPN-branded channels, you also lost all FX-branded channels, all National Geographic-branded channels, and Freeform.

Someone who isn't going to suffer the loss of SNAP benefits for families and children on November 1st thanks to the #TrumpShutdown thinks others suffering it is a good idea. They should try it themselves first. Most, like President Manbaby, look like they could stand to miss a meal or three anyway.

In my day at my alma mater, we #Gamecocks protested:
° Proposed tuition hikes
° The university president
° President Reagan
° Apartheid in South Africa
° The university not divesting from companies doing business in South Africa
We did not protest the football team's offensive coordinator.

Starbucks is still the Evil Empire of #coffee, but they are the only coffee chain in my vicinity with a birthday freebie (sideeye to Dunkin). So once a year, I give in to the Dark Side.

Enter "record store near me" on your map app and discover your locally owned stores. Today's Taylor Swift album sales are a BIG deal for their bottom line. If she's not your thing, then go to them for the next album release you DO care about. #BuyLocal

I don't own and book the amphitheater in Hickory, NC, that's closing, but if I did, I wouldn't (1) schedule SO MANY tribute bands, (2) cancel for every rain THREAT, and (3) blame the public not buying tickets for the closure, then ask that same public to buy tickets for the last show. #Business

Oh, Facebook. Removing a post where someone (not me) expresses suicidal/self-harm intent doesn't help them IN ANY WAY! Reach out to them with resources instead, such as the @988lifeline.bsky.social. #MentalHealth

It's Elon's headline writers for news on X as well (new jobs for his DOGEbros, maybe?). This incorrect headline has been up for two days, and Grok agrees that it's wrong.

Some of my friends and follows bought the snake oil that Charlie Kirk was selling. I agree with them on the condolences for his wife, his two children who will grow up without their father, and other surviving family members. But that's where the common ground ends.

I knew Rick Davies sang my favorite Supertramp song (Bloody Well Right), but I was last night years old when I learned (because, regrettably, I never saw Supertramp in concert) that vocals I thought were Roger Hodgson were actually Rick Davies.
