Comms and campaigns guy. Worked with a whole bunch of orgs and campaigns--some more fun than others. Don't know what I'm doing, but maybe I'll figure it out one day. (he/him)

If Andy Ogles and co. want a white Christian only country, I bet we could arrange something for them on that floating pile of garbage traversing the Pacific.

Was I supposed to read this license plate in Sterling Archer's voice? Because that's what I did.

Not in the least, but I guess when you're a malignant narcissist you look in the mirror and see what you want to see.

OK, but why does this picture of Jones look like a graphic from Madden '98?

Interesting that @andybeshearky.bsky.social is posting screenshots of Bluesky posts on X, rather than the other way around...

Is Vance speaking to the IAFF because he needs firefighters to douse the myriad blazes Vance's boss started?

Ooof. Can't blame you. I think I wore dress shoes exactly once in 2025. I was thrilled to keep them in the closet.

He just refuses to actually dress appropriately for his body shape. Plenty of larger guys can wear a suit properly, because they let the vanity go and have a tailor properly measure them.

That and Florsheim shoes? Really? Not Allen Edmonds, but Florsheim.

I really don't think I've heard or read the word Florsheim since my grandpa (who was in the clothing biz) passed away nearly 16 years ago.

For a minute, I was like, this can't possibly be real. It is.

Yep. Keeping an eye on the AAA gas price tracker. Today's national average is $3.45. It won't be that for long.

AAA Fuel Prices

According to AAA, today's national average gas price is $3.45 a gallon.

Curious what this will say by midday tomorrow.

Gas in the reddest of red states is going to be $4+ a gallon here pretty soon. Fascists are always dumb, but these are some real dumb dumb fascists.

This guy looks like a computer generated hybrid of every asshole manager I had when I worked at a movie theater in the early-00s.

As relevant now as it was in 1969. RIP Country Joe.

They are giving into their worst impulses. Desiring to remake the world and unleash immense suffering.

Fascism manifest.

Crawford says 1947. Other Republicans say 47 years. They can’t get clear on their Orwellian talking points. Sad!

We are governed by 12-year-old neighborhood bullies.

$22 million got them a team that only managed 19 regular-season wins and a golf tournament-level noise level in Rupp Arena for a season finale against Florida. Fans only rose to the occasion when UK started to take advantage of Florida's sloppiness late in the second half.

I’ve never heard Rupp this quiet.

An older man once asked me remove my baseball hat in a movie theater. It was a little embarrassing, but I obliged. He was older and clearly didn’t like folks wearing hats indoors.

The president won’t even take off his hat to honor the fallen.

Pathetic.

Jagger and Richards are the Glimmer Twins. Cooley and Hood are the Dimmer Twins.

Hurley and Hurley are the Whiner Twins.

Keep Standard Time year round. It’s better for your health and the whole, β€œI want an extra hour of daylight in the evening” is nonsense, because you’re spending your evening doomscrolling anyways.

His aim is to remake the world and his vehicle by which to do that is armed conflict.

This isn’t hyperbole, he seems set on starting WW3.
