Well-seasoned PR guy, happily retired and ready to earn my stripes in the Resistance. I didn’t leave Twitter; Twitter left me.
So, after all that build up and chest thumping, it appears Trump got played again. No deal. No ceasefire. No peace. (And, sorry Donald, no Peace Prize.) It’s time to turn the screws on Putin. Bring on the sanctions.

Nice NYT article about Bluesky’s growth spurt, how it got here and where it’s going. I, for one, couldn’t be happier with this place.

Not only are the Trumpists trying to drive us to an autocracy, they also are pushing for us to become a theocracy. And, in Oklahoma, that starts in our schools. This is nuts (and a bald-faced attempt to curry favor and put $ in Trump’s pocket).

Next time you're applying for a job, tell your prospective employer you'd prefer they not do a background check.
Let's see how that goes.

Spanberger: If she’s willing to work against U.S. interests by legitimizing Kremlin propaganda, what kind of untold damage could she do as the Director of National Intelligence? Is she going to put Russian propaganda in the president’s daily brief?

The MAGAts’ excuse for Trump to do whatever he wants and appoint whomever he wants, regardless of how vile and repugnant: “Elections have consequences.” We’ll be hearing that a lot for the next four years — as will they after.

Sen Mullin on Gaetz: “When he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl, there’s a reason why no one in the conference defended him. We all saw videos he was showing us on the House floor of girls he slept with & brag how he would crush ED medicine so he could go all night.”

Taking a deep breath of fresh, clean air from this beautiful, cloudless Blue Sky. Happy to leave the toxic and noxious X in the dust. And a little sad, given I was an early adopter of Twitter back in November 2008. After 16 years, FU to Elon for destroying it and driving us away.
