Half my friends are sitting in electricity free apartments as this massive wind slams thru Los Angeles. The video footage from burning beachfront homes along PCH is heartbreaking. It feels like we got very little warning it would be this dangerous. Please stay safe everyone.

What’s that thing called where you have to zoom in to the little profile pic to see what an idiot looks like?

Have a Merry Christmas everyone and an adventurous and joy filled 2025!!! 🎄

We have two years to fix the problem that registered Democrats didn’t bother to vote. Apathy is killing The American Experiment even more than lies, propaganda and gerrymandering.
Until “Did Not Vote” stops being the largest voting block, everyone loses.

RFK Jr’s work is done. Commentators and reporters are already calling him simply RFK. Once the “Jr” goes he has officially destroyed his father’s legacy. RFK now means vax denial, brain worm, Central Park dead bear cub and whale skull. Was this his plan all along? Was the worm J Edgar reincarnated?

The major news organizations don’t seem to understand that pointing out glaring irony is the exact opposite of celebrating.

One good way to test if it’s a bot is to read their response in the voice of Eddie Haskell. Bots seem to always have that, ever so slight, tinge of contempt.

Since I joined Bluesky, three weeks ago, I have had zero comments, not one “like”, not even a single incident of pushback or trolling. I understand millions join every 24 hours. I’m out there liking posts left and right all day… I’ve got a pretty thick skin but it just feels deafeningly quiet.

All these Republicans, “blindsided” as family disown them, feels oddly like the stories from the ‘90s when people found out Memaw had been signing over months of Social Security checks to Jerry Falwell. Memaw swore up and down that everyone was overreacting until the car was repossessed.

Just read an LA Times article where Shitgibbon voting CA farmers aren’t worried because they are certain he won’t deport THEIR workers. Their pretzeled thinking is astonishing.
“The leopard I’m petting will only eat someone else’s face.”

The response from Republicans, being cut off or uninvited for the holidays, seems to be that it was “just an election”. They ignored the signs and dismissed all the pleas as Lib drama. It isn’t MAGA being cut off, it’s margin of victory, old school Republicans. They’ve fully earned being uninvited.

When I saw Wicked on B’way, months after it opened, it wrecked me because it seemed to be about the Bush years and “Go along/Get along” cowardice vs standing up for your beliefs.
The film (which is amazing) could not be more relevant to today’s victory of lies and disinformation over honor.

FOX News just called Josh Brolin “The Goonies actor”. The guy snapped his finger and killed half of the known universe. Show him some respect.

If you ever find yourself asking: “How do I know if I’m in the correct bubble?”
If Europe and all of America’s traditional allies are saying what you’re saying… you are in the correct bubble. Echo chamber away.

Feel as beat up and betrayed as everyone who fully invested in the election but I just can’t seem to abandon my faith in all the good, sane, honorable people that showed up. It’s how many times we get up… not how many we get knocked down.

I too am new here. Writer, working to get my first novel published while starting the second in the series. Looking for writing community. Ever hopeful this snake oil shitshow quickly burns itself out from its own white hot avarice.
