Labor Day is about unions and living wages, it's about working class people being celebrated for their genuine efforts, for making an honest living, and for deserving any rewards earned while doing so.
In other words it's the American holiday the Trump KKlan believe in the least... 😛

Not a single song in my music library had "Wednesday" in its title. So for Wednesdays I cobbled together all the songs with "hump", "halfway", and "middle" in their titles. I liked the result so I'm sharin'. Let me know what you think. (Spotify link in the comments.) #Wednesday #HumpDay

This made me chuckle having never noticed it before this evening. I wonder: was this the best compromise between organic/inorganic and conventional/unconventional? 🤔😉

Here's me guesting with my buddy Joel on his #TennisPodcast 5Love. We kept it light and fun — until I brought up #pickleball! Take a look see. 🙂 (Links in the comments.)

As a *ahem* Joint Base it looks like #LindseyGraham will be filled with both airmen and seamen. Not the first time, eh?

How surprising that Satan just recalled not one but two of his best agents here on earth! They’ll surely be missed in the Senate but I’m happy for them — they’re home now. 😜 #ByeLindsey #ByeMitch #SatansFinest

So we limp through this #Bisesquicentennial - that's the actual term for reaching 250 years. Maybe (bi)sesqui was too close to (bi)sexual? Who knows? Anyway, they went with #Semiquincentennial, half of 500. Pretty optimistic, eh? And oh yeah, 1976's #Bicentennial is now retconned as "America 200". 🙄

The 1976 #Bicentennial was an exciting time to be a proud American, esp. us kids too young to fully comprehend Vietnam and Watergate. Celebratory events were on TV, in schools, at parades - everywhere!
Fast forward to 2026 and (insert shrug here). We've lost so much in 50 years. #July4thSadness

On his 250th birthday, America is having a moment. He's spitting in the face of his children. He no longer keeps promises to friends and neighbors he kept half his life. He's throwing everyone out the house, including rent-paying family. Just a phase? Is he going through The Change? We shall see...

It looks like NYC midtown traffic and access is going to be a mess tonight because #Commandante 🍊Orange🍊 Chaos is coming to see a #Knicks game. Hope he'll enjoy getting roundly booed by fellow New Yorkers a few times. 👿

Happy #WHOniversary to me!! I first discovered #DoctorWho on Saturday, the 27th of March 1982 - and I've never been the same (for the better)! Thanks to broaDWcast.org which allowed me to pin down the *EXACT DATE* I first discovered and watched the show.
