The real tragedy of #Flock cameras is how they take bread from the mouth of honest, patriotic, hard-working, God-fearing human spies. After reunification, we learned that 1 in 7 East Germans was employed watching the other 6. Those were good-paying jobs with (Soviet) Union wages.

Weird that Tom Hanks never made his way into Sonny Bono's seat in the Senate. This was probably more clearly satire when it was printed. On ground-up trees. In #NOLA.

American voters in 2016 (and again in 2024).

Hey @michaelachiaradio.bsky.social, Erika Kirk says you threaten The Red Wall. Perhaps you would care to respond. As a child of the Cold War and a soldier of the same, I have thoughts. But you're younger than me. Yours may be different.

Before we knew what his real name was, on The Big Ape WAPE in Jacksonville in the '70s. Got in deep-💩 one day for wearing his merch into high-school.

When the President addresses the nation, he could choose to be completely honest with US. To do otherwise, is a choice. raspberrypi.tailcd13e6.ts.net/honesty.html

Complete honesty
is the privilege of:
the very young,
the very old,
the very rich,
the very poor,
and the raving mad.
And combinations thereof.

The rest of us,
to the extent
we feel we must,
filter.

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith

Farmers in Mississippi and across the country are being squeezed by skyrocketing labor costs and economic headwinds. I cosponsored Senator Ted Budd's FARM Stability Act to lock in the Trump administration’s H-2A wage reforms that create a more predictable wage formula and a fair, two-tiered scale for workers. Our producers deserve greater certainty to plan, grow, and keep feeding, clothing, and fueling America.

Nonsense. Though the reverse may be true. And calling him that is a cheap slur. For a man whose actions justify more.

The Irish Republic came along later than North America's first republic⁠—⁠the Pirate Republic! (@uspirates.bsky.social) Seems like it has already lasted longer. Hoping that continues into the future.

Not everyone wears their shamrocks on their sleeve.

It's just that they're not going to improve on it. But, they know people (me probably) will turn up because they like the old thing & the IP folk can milk a little more out of the turnip. Some 'original' stuff gets an old name attached to it for that reason, that isn't really the old thing at all.
