Dropped by a Scooter’s Coffee here in Maumelle, Arkansas. It’s good! ☕️ WillowTree did the Scooter’s app. 😃 Unfortunately I didn’t get to work on it but boy-o-boy did the team do an amazing job!

We’re never going to live on Mars. We’re never going to live on the Moon. There is no Planet B. We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have. Because it is.

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.
This is our little chipmunk friend, Chippy. He’s been around for at least three years now and he’s super cute. I love watching him run around the yard. Recently I thought the little fella moved away. He didn’t, he just moved to the back yard!

This is so tacky. Good grief. Whoever becomes our next President needs to get someone on there to rip all this crap off the walls and erase any mention of Donald J. Trump from all of DC.

No, No, No. they are time traveling, eco-friendly, entrepreneurial pirates, trying to save us all from skynet.
This—Trump business partner Erdogan—is the piece of shit Trump is spending today praising, promising weapons to and declaring a better ally to the US than France, Germany, England, the Baltics or Scandinavia. It’s *grotesque*—and more evidence of Bribery.

Dr. Mar@boldnewme.bsky.social · 4w agoAmerica didn’t just lose a World Cup match. We lost credibility. A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game. The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.
