I know. That's why you'd never date a risky bastard like me.

(Disclaimer, I'm 75, happily married, and purely joking around here! Given the state of the world, if we don't joke around sometimes, we'll all go crazy)

Makes you wonder if the SCOTUS conservatives will ever feel any remorse if American democracy finally dies on account of their actions.

I'm a psychologist who spent his first 10 years in community mental health. So, I learned that there are sick people who do destructive things & never feel sorry.

Good for you. And, like me, you have a relatively modest number of Followers. Can you imagine the work involved in vetting a million?

Of course, the point is that "They don't."

From CNN: "Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had a fractured foot and facial lacerations on the first day of the war."

Way to go, Trump ! You injured this guy AND killed his Dad. He'll be sure to love America now, for the rest of his entire life! You're our QB. Toss that hornet's nest!

I have a question.

How does anyone on Bluesky get hundreds of thousands of Followers by carefully checking each one to see if they seem legitimate? That's what I do, and it takes an enormous amount of time. So much so, that it's hard to imagine anyone spending the time it'd take to vet 100Ks...

The irony is that "so do the conservatives" (want to see the world they knew again).

The trouble, of course, is that they want to go back to 1950, when whites controlled everything, abortions were illegal (hell, BIRTH CONTROL was illegal), almost everybody went to church & America was a superpower.

Meanwhile, here in Oklahoma, conservatives try to get Ten Commandments posted inside public schools.

Sigh...

You have no money to help your child, yet you have a computer to ask for money on the Internet.

When new to Bluesky, I got scammed by someone. Never again.

That's pretty good. But my main concern is about trying to forgive stuff other people did to ME that they could've figured out beforehand would be horrific.

And, of course, the corollary is stuff that *I* could've logically figured out, but didn't.

This is Trump's pick for Ayatollah of Iran.

In other news, the check is in the mail, and I have this wonderful bridge I'd like to sell you in Brooklyn.

Well, a good wash w strong soap will probably get rid of those spots. That's how I deal with mine. 😜 In fact, I'm due for a wash right now, after an afternoon of cutting down invasive Eastern Red Cedar trees, and one honeylocust that Aussies would be proud of (2" long needle-spikes that pop tires).

Donate to ICE OFFICER Jonathan Ross, organized by Clyde Emmons After seeing all the media bs about a domestic terrorist getting go fund me. I feel that the of… Clyde Emmons needs your support for ICE OFFICER Jonathan Ross

Meanwhile, Renee Good's killer, Jonathan Ross, is poised to receive $800K USD from a GoFundMe. I've mentioned this several times, but nobody seems to give a shit enough to use GFM's "Report" system to complain it violates their rules about violence and crime.

You must be a Kiwi.

I'm in the middle of watching a movie "Utu" about a Maori uprising.

The Iranian Regime Doubles Down Trump was hoping for an Iranian Delcy Rodríguez. Instead he may have produced an Iranian Kim Jong Un.

(GIFTED) Way to go Trump! Iran's new leader will now spend the rest of his life hating the country that KILLED HIS DAD. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Damned theocrats. I'll bet they admire how Iran is run.

Another WRK Blewski Bot Rant.

How can anybody can get 1200 Followers after just one, single Post?

Simple. Hire a company to create 1000 bots to Follow you from Day 1 forward.

(The answer, my friend, is botting in the wind.
The answer is botting in the wind.)

OPERATION EPIC DUMBFUCKERY

Tell ya what, Brian. Why don't YOU captain a tanker through the Straights, ya loudmouth bastid...

Trump says Barron can't go because he's "too tall." But, the president could change that with a wave of his hand.

That's why O = mg^2

Don't forget greed. Greed is big.

And, despite "feminism," I don't exactly see any major women's groups demanding the "right to become soldiers."

Disclaimer: I live in rural OK, where a girl's dream is to marry a rich rancher or bidnessman, to where they never have to work other than being his Social Coordinator & bossing the maid

Yeah. For years it seems economists have kept saying the stock market was overvalued & due for a "correction" (meaning "crash"). But it doesn't happen. Markets just go up, up, up. Meanwhile, bonds no longer even keep up with inflation & banks use your money & pay 0.01%, which then is taxed...

Mos' def'. I'd have changed my name at the earliest opportunity !

At the risk of being crude, my Inner Psychologist just has to wonder what it's like being Trump and being spurned and detested by your own wife, and deserving it because of your own detestable behavior.

All I know for sure is that his discomfort pleases me. May it continue and grow !

Sure. I'll bet many Irish who stayed eventually just got sick of English rule, and figured to try their luck someplace new.

Albion's Seed is like 700 pp. The other I've read is The Graves Are Walking: The Great Famine and the Saga of the Irish People by John Kelly.

I haven't exactly heard about MAGA women demanding to be drafted, same as men.
