My grandfather farmed for 55 years, longer if you count time spent with his father, who bought the land around 1900. He was a quiet, generous, sober & cautious man. I’m only slightly exaggerating when I say if he saw that he’d shoot the television.

This is an amazing half time special with profound depth and deep cultural layers.

Well done, Bad Bunny.

I turned on the Super Bowl because I wanted to see the halftime show and saw that Dunkin Donuts ad and a crypto ad and I hate absolutely everything now. Burn it all to the stumps.

Here it is! Here’s the truth about the Trump Administration. Darren Beattie is going to be put for a key post, the Acting “Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.” He left the 1st Trump Admin due to criticism he received for attending a conference tied to white nationalists.

I will never get over Kendrick's historic sweep at the Grammy's last night. Huge night for hip hop, huge night for the West Coast. And the crowd screaming along to THOSE lyrics? Diabolical.

Welcome, TikTok users! Bluesky is just like TikTok, except instead of videos we post words and instead of fun we have "discourse"

It's no coincidence that the two forms of animal discourse from Trump are either calling migrants "animals" or weird sentimental AI images of cute pets. For men like him, animals must be dominated or tamed. And the category of "animals" can always include groups of humans.
