Today in first world problems, it's never fun spending $100 to fill the tank. It's especially not fun when your daily gets single digit mpg in town.

@empiresc.bsky.social got my away ticket for 3/21 and live near Charlotte. Where can I meet up with y'all beforehand?

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.” Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

Stoked to attend my first game at the Bank in Charlotte, and I'll be sitting with my @empiresc.bsky.social brethren, as one does. Forza Metro!

So stoked to renew my @empiresc.bsky.social membership. I live in SC, but my heart will forever live in 101.

“We Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis “This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

While they're protesting ICE they can protest this piece of shit too.

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who stuck a whale head in a bucket.
He had a worm in his brain,
Snorted toilet cocaine,
And Olivia Nuzzi said "I'll fuck it."

Tonight, I needed some hometown songs. Home cookin'

When it's been a day you'll always know because I'll put on some folk music and listen in still silence.

Today is one of those days.

Take care and look out for one another. We're all in this together, afterall.

It cost nothing to be kind, but costs us everything when we're not.

Feeding all of Jeffrey Epstein's emails into an LLM to create a writing style legible to billionaires.

Massive win for mediocre prosecutors.

You graciously signed a plate for my young son when I politely asked.

Thank you again for that.

There are many Linux distros that are surprisingly easy to install and perform much better.

Let's be serious, this week was shit. No better way to end it but have a few fingers of whiskey and listen to @themountaingoats.bsky.social This Year.

"I am gonna make it thought year, if it kills me."

You're g'damn right we will, because it's too important for us not to. LFG!!!

Primary these motherfuckers

Chef's kiss

In a functioning society, FIFA nor Donald Trump would exist.

Just go away already.

This is rich coming from the party championing the masked thugs indiscriminately rounding up people on the street for deportation.

My resolution is to end each day chill enough for both my cats to lay down on me before I head to bed.

Mission accomplished tonight.

Fucking useless.

This guy is a massive asshole

On Christmas Eve, it's time for It's a Wonderful Life.

From my family to yours, Happy Holidays y'all.

Love you, Steve. I did make it out and I will always remember.

My oldest brother taught me to shoot a basketball and ride a motorcycle. He protected me from my bullies and told me, "You're going to make it out of here, but always remember us when you leave."

Five years ago today I lost him and not a day goes by where I don't think of everything he did for me.
