What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard. Tweets speak for myself only.

When people, especially people who don't even live in Texas, but in relatively safe blue states, tell people not to vote for Talarico, I'm almost at the point now that I consider them an enemy. I don't trust them or their motivations. They all don't know how things are here, on the ground. /3
people always say "a reasonable center-right party could do well in los angeles!" meanwhile the actual existing LA conservative coalition is scientologists, pro-shah iranian-american, failed standup comedians, and hollywood people who were canceled for sex crimes
One of the things that’s most annoying about the lack of solidarity the press showed before this is that they *always* had the leverage. Trump wants his communications platformed widely!
the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 17h agothe footage of the president speaking at a news conference and you can't hear him because it's the press he banned who bring the sound equipment is too on the damn nose because guess what we wouldn't have if people hadn't kept insisting on handing this asshole a microphone over & over & over again
This will be a catastrophe for both filmed entertainment and news, and it's a great shame that the California AG caved. Trump and his people will celebrate this news today. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/b...

“He was left almost literally shouting into the wind on Monday as he cut the ribbon on his new helipad on the South Lawn… recorded only by a second-tier news broadcaster that could not capture his voice over the roar of Marine One. There was Mr. Trump moving his mouth, and no one could hear him.”
Trump Faces the Sting of a Media Boycott After Press Pool Withdrawal
A boycott of the White House press pool by the major networks deprives the president of the oxygen of screen time. But he is still finding ways to get on the air.

I mentioned this the other day, but I'm getting an MMR shot today because I travel to Pennsylvania regularly to visit family in a part of PA not far from Lancaster County. At this point, I am assuming I will cross paths with someone who has measles.
