Once upon a time, for about 30 seconds, when I was younger and mor naive, I looked at an all black SUV, probably a Suburban and thought it looked kinda cool. Now that I’m a bitter, jaded old man, I just naturally assume it’s a cop.

Never heard of Rep. Tim B. before this year, all of a sudden seeing him cosplaying as a natsec expert with Kegsbreath on Shawn Ryan clips and then being interviewed saying #Medicaid recipients should “just get a job.” Come to find out he a career politician and a classist POS.
I find it ironic that Instagram labels Chinese Xinhua Daily as “Chinese state controlled media” but doesn’t label itself as “US state controlled media.”
Went to Shepherd Art Gallery in #Detroit with the better half today, then hit #Atwater rooftop for a burger. Poor bartender was tending, bar backing, and serving all at once. Tip your staff or don’t go out. Up the #redandblack
Got a microfracture on my elbow from a trip and fall on a concrete sidewalk - totally my own damn fault. Some dude tells me “don’t fall down the stairs” when he should have said “don’t break a leg” and now I feel cursed.
Those chuckleheads in Congress just voted to clawback food aid under #USAID that was meant for hungry people around the world. #christiannationalism at its finest. No wonder I’m an #atheist and an #anarchist - I doubt #christ would approve. Fuck #mikejohnson.
I will say this: if you’re a #Democrat, #progressive, #leftist, #voteblue, #blueresistance, or whatever, and you’re saying “you voted for this” to people that rely on govt aid or suffered from a disaster, because they oppose you politically? Seriously go fuck off. You are NOT better than them.

I always kinda liked the Bosstones but I had no idea this existed: #mightymightybosstones #bosstones #ska #rock #detroit
Amazingly enough the Monday morning propaganda, um, sorry, “news,” actually took time out from spouting war porn to spout sports porn.
