Today is Tax Day.

This year, nearly every American will pay more in taxes — except for billionaires.

With the #LFC season essentially shot, there is only one goal worthy of our attention: Joe Gomez MUST SCORE. Give him every PK from here on in. Let’s go, Joe! #YNWA #LiverpoolFC @lfcr.bsky.social

You’re a senator and this is all you got? How are you any better than my Sen, Rafael Cruz? What’s your course of action? Rein this in!

Cannot WAIT for my copy if Yesteryear to arrive!

Bible: In the end times there are gonna be charlatans who use my name to trick you into supporting evil and it will be incredibly obvious to everyone except you.

Evangelicals: This section of the Bible has always been mysteriously vague.

Bring your spoon!

Y’all, I just invented the most amazing dish: avocado gazpacho. Simply smash a ripe avocado in a bowl, add some salsa, a squeeze of lime, salt, pepper. Grab a spoon. 🤌

Town Hall on Meta's AI Data Center in Beaver Dam YouTube video by Charlie Berens

Charlie Berens, who usually is a comedian, has gone really hard on data centers (including getting out the word on public input opportunities). He gave comment on one, noting that there’s more regulation on bratwurst than AI.

Disgraceful

“A world that shrugs at one kind of slaughter has developed a terrible immunity. No atrocity is too great to shrug away now, the muscle of indifference having been sufficiently conditioned.”

who made this

The billionaires have us wrapped in the cocoons of their monopolies. All we do makes them richer.

I placed my order with the manufacturer for one reason: avoiding Amazon. Shipping was extremely expensive due to the product weight, but overall cost was about a wash.

Got my tacking info today. Looking forward to the blue van with the trademark smirking arrow delivering my item soon.

This profound, accurate, and telling indictment finds its domestic parallel in immigration and deportation.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Oh, I thought this was baseline reporting about ICE and the RNC. My bad.

Yeah, but I will never be satisfied until I am in possession of the album, Do You Reject Satan, Etc.?

It’s been 5 days and we still don’t know the names of the murderers.

Streets of Minneapolis

This is what art is for. Thank you, @brucespringsteen.net. Classic protest song naming the Powers, celebrating the people, honoring the dead.

They shot Renee Good in the face.
They kidnapped Liam Ramos.

Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.

Why is Ekitike on the bench?!?! Losing my mind. @lfcr.bsky.social

Oh. Shit. Sorry. I misread Bezos as something else. Yes, I’m with you!

Why this boycott?

This year, Santa brought me @jrdkirk.bsky.social’s “A Man Attested By God”, which I’m enjoying immensely. Kirk articulates a paradigm I think was taught in my church community as “God manifestation”. It’s nice to have a solid academic treatment of this to chew over. Definitely #forbiblenerds.
