Windshield therapy in snowy Pennsylvania and jamming the entire discography of Brandon Jenkins. On my way from Terlingua to Connecticut via Oklahoma. Robert Earl Keen and Turnpike Troubadours tomorrow and Saturday night! Half tempted to grab tickets for Philly tonight…
I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.
Thank you, friend. This is the voice of an ally we need.
@jcrutchmer.bsky.social this is what I meant when I said my aviation YT will have an OK theme!
A video set with colorful aviation maps centered in the west, with a void black Scissortail Flycatcher hovering in front, with LED under lighting in Orange to evoke Oklahoma State University colors.
My new YouTube set. It’s an aviation show, so there are aviation maps, set into an 8’ light box. A void black Scissortail Flycatcher is under lit by orange to evoke Oklahoma State University colors. The Sierra Nevada range is shown prominently. This is how a Red Dirt Okie makes television!
Been working on a set for a new aviation podcast with a Red Dirt and Oklahoma theme. There’s a void black Scissortail Flycatcher that’s 4 feet long and three feet off the background in my living room. So I’ve got that going for me. #Oklahoma #reddirt #OSU #aviation #stagecraft #storytelling
The use of AI for content creation undermines the content and the “creator”. My one carve out for that is music, as I can’t help but enjoy the things that Prof. Nick Harrison is releasing where he has AI envision songs from other genres as classic soul. So good!
Those people feel no shame. They enjoy the jobs they have.
And I’ll fucking say it again.
Hard to imagine an OSU without Gundy. I met him many times when I worked in TV in OKC. He is a savvy guy. Of course he would take the buy out clause.
This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
The Wall Street Journal is now walking back its earlier reporting that "transgender ideology" messages were found on the shooter's ammunition.
But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update.
Thanks, WSJ.
Am I the only person who thinks this is INSANE?
Their silence is deafening. This may be my redline to leave.
15 Years ago transphobes demanded us to undergo all those risky surgeries to prove that we're actually trans, and I guess a lot of us just internalized their demand, even though these days most of those people are calling to ban all the surgeries they demanded us to have.
I enjoy them both, but favor oysters. It’s been one of the nicest parts of living in New England.
Eww. That writer is my friend’s son…
Yes
I mean, it’s not THAT much, but it rides around in my pants or purse all day. I disassemble it and give it a good cleaning weekly. I also try to hit the range for training several times a month. I buy good gear, and I take good care of it. With all hobbies and interests.
Yeah, I’m a pilot and an outdoors person. People bitch about their hobby, and I tell them about the wet rate on rental airplanes here in New England…
Weird fetish to have.
I can’t imagine affording or storing all that ammo! 🤣
That’s wild. I am a gun owner. I have one for each kind of shooting I do: Big game rifle. Small game rifle. Upland shotgun. Daily CCW carry. It’s a lot of work keeping up the maintenance and proficiency on my small set. I don’t understand why/how people have so many. 🤷♀️
putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.
Jet car is pretty mid. Cool, but not that exciting. Bob Carlton is fucking phenomenal.
James Dobson dedicated his life to evil and the world is worse because he made it so on purpose. defector.com/james-dobson...
