I'm very proud to be a part of @thebirdkc.bsky.social long-form house team, Sh***ing Like Geese. Y'all should come see us Free First Friday at 7:00 PM #improv #KansasCity
I legit don't understand how progressives can still justify watching #Survivor50 #Survivor or anything by Mark Burnett. Without Burnett making Trump look like a competent businessman in "The Apprentice," there's no way that pedo gets elected once, much less twice.
Went to see @piperformissouri.bsky.social last night. She was awesome, of course. The Q&A was interesting as well, but one thing I noticed jumped out: every man who asked a question prefaced it with his own "expertise" regarding the subject of the question. None of the women did.
James Talarico is cute. Cute like: if I didn't know that Opie grew up to be Ron Howard, I could believe that he grew up to be James Talarico.
My vision of the perfect #SuperBowl, a thread (cont.): 3/3 Overtime: repeat above until word reaches players that NBC is no longer televising. Patriots take a knee in their own end zone for a safety. Seahawks win 2-0.
My vision of the perfect #SuperBowl, a thread (cont.): 2/3 Play as normal (but do NOT score) until players get word that commercial break is over. Next play, go back to FUCK ICE formation. Repeat until halftime. #BadBunny concert. Second half: repeat the first half.
My vision of the perfect #SuperBowl, a thread: 1/3 Kickoff: the receiving team catches the ball, then the 22 players each walk into positions to spell out FUCK ICE. They stay there until they get word that NBC has cut to commercial. Player with the ball takes a knee.
Oh, the irony of this being the first ad served up in the linked article.
Kauffman Stadium has been on my list for a long time. Finally attending a game there tonight. #GoMs #TridentsUp #etsywitch
It'd be really nice if Kauffman's lack of a roof doesn't cause any rainouts for the Ms. (And for me: I really want to get to a game this week.)
Sure, why not? Manny, doing his best French Lieutenant's Chihuahua Mix impression. #DogsOfBluesky
That might still be trying to confirm everything's good to go? But here's a screencap (with my email obscured).
And yet it wouldn't allow me to sign without donating. Dems, your messaging sucks. Do better.
Now that I see that @birbigs.bsky.social is at least theoretically here, sharing a favorite interaction I had at the bad place before it was the bad place.
We've just hit the era where an old classmate has a recurring character, too. But I'll never forget him in this role.
Saddened by the death of Loretta Swit, but marking her as Hot is certainly accurate.
Non-political post! Lately, we've been binging ER (I didn't watch it when it was originally on). We're past the John Aylward seasons now (I think), but they brought back happy memories of a short play we were in as part of Seattle's 14/48.
4/8 The one and only thing that nagged at me was how easily the word Antifa has been demonized. I was wearing my Moomin Troll Antifa t-shirt, and when I explained what the flag was for, a couple folks looked troubled, until we talked more about it.
1/8 I've participated in a fair number of protests over the years, starting with the first Gulf War. I was surprised how moved I was at today's 50501 rally in KC. Partially, that was because of the sign I myself was carrying, and the conversations that led to.
