I'm glad to see good reviews for this movie. I like this Spiderman and have been looking forward to more.
Film Crit Hulk@filmcrithulk.bsky.social · 3h agoAfter getting all caught up with the MCU, I'm happy to report that new SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is the most solid offering they've had in years - not just in terms of actually setting up some pay-offs, but actually letting the emotions be FELT. Wrote about it here: www.patreon.com/filmcrithulk...
Mainstream media isn’t talking about it, but bulldozers and construction crews have descended upon Texas’ Big Bend National Park as the Trump administration moves forward with its border barrier project. The project will permanently damage one of our nation’s greatest natural treasures.
The call is coming from inside the White House, @jd-vance-1.bsky.social. Trump is awarding contracts to family-connected companies, charging Secret Service agents to stay overnight at his properties, and making billions off his office. The Trump Administration's corruption is off the charts.
My daughter just came in from taking care of the neighbor's horses and as soon as she got in the door, noticed she had an ant on her arm. So, she stepped out to let the ant go, and a bee flew inside. She tried to shoo the bee out, but when she opened the door again, a fly came in. She gave up! 😄

As a reader and a writer, I agree with this too. I hope those who pick up and read my books will love them and read all of them, but I'm not going to judge you if it's not your thing. (I might cry a little, but no pressure... 😄)

So you can’t afford groceries, gas, healthcare, utilities, or your mortgage. But hey, I got gold horses.

I used to keep a bag of chocolate chips on hand when my kids were little. I don't bake much, but they were handy as rewards for when the kids needed to take their medicine when sick. Bribery works.

I was looking for the actual story I saw this morning and couldn't find it, but this on is the same subject: using drones to drop flotation devices to swimmers in trouble. This is an awesome use of this technology! It can protect civilians and first responders. 6abc.com/post/ocean-c...
Ocean County Sheriff's Department uses drone to save swimmers in distress
While crews worked to get out to those in distress, the officer deployed a drone that is equipped with a flotation device called a 'restube.' It can move up to 45 miles per hour.

I agree with this too. ICE is corrupted. So is the GOP. There is no coming back.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8h agoEl-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
I agree! I would also like to send books, computers, and other means of obtaining education to people in other nations who do not have such access instead of bombs or tanks. Knowledge is power, and the key to peace. (which is why trump and his nazis hate public education and higher learning).
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8h agoEl-Sayed: "I believe our kids have a right to our tax dollars. I'm about 10 min away from schools that look like they did 50 years ago. Our money should be spent here rather than sent in the form of bombs or tanks to foreign govts, particularly when they are doing most heinous things with them ... "
I accompanied my daughter to an appointment this morning and brought my Chromebook to write with while waiting for her. Waiting rooms can be noisy and people can be chatty (which is nice) but I still manage to get a lot of good writing done despite all of the constant distraction. Weird.

okay, I don't know if this is actually true, or AI in action again, but it matches my feelings about trump and what he's been doing the past year.
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 3mo agoDoes this look familiar?
Catch them in their hypocrisy and this is what they do. Spineless feels too kind a word.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoMS: One of your criticisms of Fauci is that he said one thing publicly, where he sort of downplayed the virus, & one thing privately, where he acknowledge its seriousness. President Trump did exact the same thing. Does Trump deserve the same level of scrutiny? RAND PAUL: *immediately changes topic*

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.

“We *could* follow the Constitution to rein in Mr. Trump, but saying “no” to Trump riles up the irascible hillbillies and then we lose power and can’t take away their healthcare.
