Never heard of Rep. Tim B. before this year, all of a sudden seeing him cosplaying as a natsec expert with Kegsbreath on Shawn Ryan clips and then being interviewed saying #Medicaid recipients should “just get a job.” Come to find out he a career politician and a classist POS.
I find it ironic that Instagram labels Chinese Xinhua Daily as “Chinese state controlled media” but doesn’t label itself as “US state controlled media.”
Went to Shepherd Art Gallery in #Detroit with the better half today, then hit #Atwater rooftop for a burger. Poor bartender was tending, bar backing, and serving all at once. Tip your staff or don’t go out. Up the #redandblack
Got a microfracture on my elbow from a trip and fall on a concrete sidewalk - totally my own damn fault. Some dude tells me “don’t fall down the stairs” when he should have said “don’t break a leg” and now I feel cursed.
Those chuckleheads in Congress just voted to clawback food aid under #USAID that was meant for hungry people around the world. #christiannationalism at its finest. No wonder I’m an #atheist and an #anarchist - I doubt #christ would approve. Fuck #mikejohnson.
I will say this: if you’re a #Democrat, #progressive, #leftist, #voteblue, #blueresistance, or whatever, and you’re saying “you voted for this” to people that rely on govt aid or suffered from a disaster, because they oppose you politically? Seriously go fuck off. You are NOT better than them.

I read “Anti-Politics” by Mayweather + Forester. If you @ me to kvetch this is not a leftist book, well, I don’t limit my reads to suit YOU. Know other views if you want to argue logically. #booksky #politics #agorism #storygraph #libertarian #ancap #anarchism https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/c2c3ab97-83ab-4993-b271-9d1ae2d00956
I always kinda liked the Bosstones but I had no idea this existed: #mightymightybosstones #bosstones #ska #rock #detroit
Amazingly enough the Monday morning propaganda, um, sorry, “news,” actually took time out from spouting war porn to spout sports porn.
Two things: Thing 1) speaking as a (non-combat) vet, all the folks (excluding fellow vets) saying “I won’t die for Israel,” here’s a reality check: a majority of people of military age are not fit for military service. Thing 2) those who are, likely would serve in combat arms.
Getting my weekly dose of Sunday morning propaganda.. I mean news shows… and Latent Lindsey Graham is about make his usual chickenhawking. Wouldn’t expect anything different.
If TT, as they claimed before the “shutdown” in January, was indeed “CCP propaganda,” it’s someone else’s propaganda now, apparently. If you find someone trying to make a political point, and try to make a comment the app says you’re not on WiFi even when you are?

Lefties and anarchists of all stripes need to look to the past and expand their political vocabulary. Not everyone is a Nazi, a fascist, or conservative.. there’s also irredentists, revanchists, neocons, John Birchers, No Nothings, America Firsters, etc. 😁
Half an hour ago I was walking my little dog. Now it’s raining sideways. 🫤
