Back in 2016, he showed us the #1 reason he isn't qualified to be President: he doesn't understand when not to pick a fight. And he keeps showing us.
I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
AL East standings
The Toronto Blue Jays are in first place in the American League East.
So since they had that amazing run of winning 9 out of 10, they've been a .500 club.
About to host a Taskmaster themed birthday party for my kids. Making @alexhorne.bsky.social proud!
A photo of 14 childhood Redwall novels by Brian Jacques, and a bonus Redwall Map and Riddler. “Mattimeo” is absolutely wrecked. For some reason the first book in the series is missing, so I must have left that at my folks’ place.
Redwall fans rise up
You know that scene in A Knight's Tale, where William absent-mindedly rides a horse into a big cathedral because he's flirting with a girl, and the priest yells at him "You desecrate the house of God!"
That scene just came to mind for some reason.
Did he honestly think that the guy with the gold-plated penthouse in Manhattan, who flies around to play golf every weekend, was going to be the voice of fiscal responsibility?
Yeah, a WHIP of almost 4 will do that.
Their blood cries out from the ground.
Hot take: Basic human decency has always been an act of rebellion.
This article lives in my head rent-free.

Canada just elected a grown-up!
A cease and desist letter from Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation demanding that Danielle Smith cease and desist from creating a national unity crisis. The letter states that the province has no authority to supersede treaties. Last sentence: "If your or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere."
Alberta's First Nations have a few words for Danielle Smith:

Fundamentalism is on the rise all across the political spectrum. My political opponents aren't just wrong, they are evil and stupid, and their evil and stupidity is contagious so everyone needs to shun them.
Everything Elon does makes complete sense if you assume he's a 13-year-old boy in a big skin suit.
I've long thought that one underappreciated factor in the abortion and birth rates is the dystopia index: the percentage of women from 18-45 who think "Aw hell no, I'm not bringing a baby into this godforsaken nightmare land."
All I can picture is several lawyers, paralegals, etc. at DOJ running around in a panic saying "oh shit oh fuck oh shit"
Paging @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social!

The dumb part about this is that 90% of criminal cases appear in lower courts, where the judges are appointed by the provinces. Unless a case is really serious (such as murder/manslaughter), or goes to a jury trial, or gets appealed, it'll probably never be in front of a federally appointed judge.
I insist that you, a minor social media influencer from Saskatchewan, become the loudest advocate possible about military abuses halfway around the world!
That's the part of the story that shocked me. Doesn't every law school teach that if the cops ask to see your privileged communications, you tell them to fuck off and you call the bar society?
Having heard a judge say that in a courtroom, I assure you it is not.
But will the wounded meditations include Bible verses taken wildly out of context?
A party leader coming third in his riding is an ugly look.
