Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy: My first flight, in college, was on People's Air. I sat one row ahead of the plane's smoking section.

From Jules Feiffer long ago. Nothing changes...

I've got just a few followers, and probably none in the news #media, but here you go. (I'm pleased to link to a Pgh Stop the Presses article.) www.stopthepresses.news/p/media-must...

Media must realize a key target of fascism is … mediawww.stopthepresses.news They should act like they know Trump has made them targets

morale in hospitals is currently very low and this is one of the reasons

They might appreciate the lack of pronouns.

The campaign of convicted felon Donald Trump understands it’s shameful that convicted felon Donald Trump is a convicted felon so they’ll try to cow reporters into *not* calling convicted felon Donald Trump a convicted felon, but convicted felon Donald Trump is, factually, a convicted felon.

In NYC this evening I passed a couple, and the guy had a shirt on that said I WOULD PREFER NOT TO. As I passed them I said “What’s up, Bartleby?” and the guy — who clearly forgot what he was wearing — looked at me like I was crazy. I bet 20 minutes later that joke killed.

‘I NEED A POSTER OF RITA HAYWORTH’

I wish I had a flag so I could fly it on the days that matter, like Election Day. And Verdict Day.

My first book, a memoir, will be titled The Invisible Guy.

If you don’t have a dog--at least one--there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.

Colors of an aurora depend not only on which element is emitting light, but also on *where* it is. Oxygen at high altitudes glows red; at lower altitudes it glows green. Purple nitrogen is lower still. Weird, right? 🧪

I have an entire rant with several key points, but the gist is: Send Donald Trump to jail nothing bad will happen. There will be no riots, no demonstrations, nothing that can be done by the system or police or FBI or anyone to stop it. And once it happens, we’ll realize it was never scary.

the powerful: “throwing him in jail might cause a revolution carrying him to a golden throne on a river of populist outrage” very offline normie libs: “someone should shoot that motherfucker”

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

You know, I often doubt my decision to transition into copy editing. But then I start reading something like @bcdreyer.bsky.social's Dreyer's English and it pings all my nerdy grammar nerves and I'm encouraged.
