Trumpโ€™s ridiculous & disgusting answers today on the elementary school bombing may actually cause networks to cover it like the massive story that it is instead of treating it in passing like a footnote. Deny everything, blame others, refuse to accept responsibility or apologize.

Hmm, maybe the "Artistic Genius" Brian Wilson was to Bahamanian folk singers as The Pitt 911 was to the Freedom House Ambulance Service? ๐Ÿค”

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.

-Zero Congressional consultation or approval.
-Zero preparation of public for need/consequences of war.
-Zero evidence of thought about "OK, what might the other side do?" Next month. Next year.
-Zero mention of anti-nuke agreement Trump voided, or Trump claim last year that nukes "obliterated."

#INXS! Glad #RockHall may finally be correcting their all-time biggest snub, but they should've been nominated when first eligible ~20 years ago.

New Edition seems like an odd choice...

I just solved the #Simpsons "Which Springfield?" mystery once & for all! It's Missouri, because Marge said it was a 16 hour drive to Philly from Springfield:

Almost every bus stop in Center City, and probably all of Philly, still looks like this 3 days after the snowstorm:

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

Shocked that "People Watching" by Sam Fender was only at #41, and that "Magnetic" by Tunde was way down at #72.

So, Bari Weiss decided to shelve a planned "60 Minutes" story titled "Inside CECOT," but the report has reached a worldwide audience anyway. Blame Canada, or thank Canada. Here's what seems to have happened... www.cnn.com/2025/12/22/m...

"The American President" is the most underrated #RobReiner movie. #RIP

@wxpnfm.bsky.social 1. Great job with the #xpncountdown!
2. Wasn't Lana Del Rey's cover of "Doin Time" also a cover of Gershwin's "Summertime"? That would make Summertime tied with Satisfaction for the 4th most covered song.
