I have many different names on different platforms. But decided to stick with my "main" name here.

Extremely progressive, bordering anarchist, and a collector of conservative snowflake tears. Vintage 2020 was decorked too early.

Believer of the human spirit, reader of cooking and woodworking books, avid podcast listener. I may be anti-capitalist but I enjoy deeply researched topics like Acquired, but I follow that up with a Behind the Bastards chaser.

Ask me about my favorite episodes.

Musk generously offers to pay TSA agent salaries! If only there was a system where we could take a portion of people's income to fund these critical government programs. And maybe that portion could be a percentage based on that person's ability to pay. Idk am I crazy for thinking of a system like that?

Gotta love this: #corporations are going to get bailed out after #tariffs are ruled unconstitutional. No mention as to when the normal public will get a refund.

Tariffs ended up being yet another way to extract money from the poor and to funnel it to the rich.

I stopped by a rest stop on my way to DC and saw a row of cars parked on the side. It was very unusual since there was plenty of parking. But as I slowed down, I realized that these cars were covered with blankets. People were sleeping in them. This wasn't just one or two cars but at least a dozen.

Housing prices are ludicrous. People should not be sleeping in their cars especially in the cold.

"Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good— but remember-ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.

ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz DomĂ­nguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes"

It's disturbing to me just how much salt we've thrown at this last storm. I wish there was a better incentive for companies to switch to safer ice melt but so long as dollars can be saved, it's always going to be whatever is cheapest.

You can *literally* here #Trump shit his pants at around 0:34. This isn't a sound effect. Look at the woman to his right and how White House aides push people out of the room.

I'm beginning to think that our country's dependency and use of #creditcard privatizes commerce. I love the protections that credit cards provide but I'm realizing just how much power and data our credit card companies have.
