Centrism is dying.

[It's politics @uspolitics1111]

James Carville attacking Hasan Piker once again :

"This is either gonna be Hassan Piker's party or it's gonna be the party of congressional candidates that we have. He's some guy that's got a podcast and he's out there campaigning with El-Sayed. Hasan Piker is a raving antisemite. He and I, somebody ain't gonna be in this party. The long term prognosis of me and Hasan Piker being in the same tent politically is about nil."

Anthony Bourdain turning in a philosopher for this generation is all you need to know about where they're at.

Every year I go around the sun is a year I didn't expect to have.

Knowing we'll never get another As Tall As Lions album because Dan is busy writing on every Olivia Rodrigo album bums me out.

Had a group of friends show up to Peter Piper's for my birthday and there is no way to describe how healing it was.

Be around those who want you around.
And tell them you love them.

With as much as my niece listens to Choosin' Texas, I can't help but wonder if the way I'm feeling is the way my parents felt about obsession with Achy Breaky Heart.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that every time she comes up to me and asks to play it, I play it.

Bulldozers have begun tearing up Big Bend National Park just a stone's throw from Santa Elena Canyon. DHS waived every environmental & cultural resource protection. No surveys have been done. We don't even know what kind of cultural history they are destroying. 📷Natalie Newman.

I regret selling my camera.

I really want to get back into photography.

This man is nothing but an intergalactic destroyer of things.

Finally found it.

Thanks, EP B&N.

I just want to be Jasmine Sun when I grow up, big dawg.

Her work is f'n incredible.

Me to this goddamn city that makes me feel so disconnected to the world around me.

It's hard to express my emotional dissonance about this place.
But I can no longer deny the emotional wormhole this place exists as to me when I'm here.

It will be a long month.

Noah Kahan will always remind me of the lonesome winters in the throes of grief when it was me against the cold.

And so I'm now in Austin, feeling an intense rush of not knowing where home is, missing winter but never wanting to leave the sun.

[joseph l. flores, phd @jojoinks_]

Lost in a place some call home.

Forever, and wherever, I am.

That's all I think I will, for certain, ever feel.

[joseph l. flores, phd @jojoinks_]

Hell yeah, dude.

BREAKING: Trump Media has officially launched its new paid data service, providing faster access to Truth Social posts from President Trump.

The new service is called "Truth API" which gives firms "a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market-moving Truths," the company's CEO said in a press release.

The service reportedly costs as much as $100,000/month.

And a time when this country IS LITERALLY ON FIRE.

"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it."

5,300 acres in Spokane and Spokane County went up in flames in a matter of hours yesterday.

600+ homes/structures gone.

Trump is already denying emergency funding for states that didn't vote for him in 2024.

I remember when "Thomas Rousseau" and Green Frog losers on this app wouldn't stfu about the floods in Texas.

Claiming Biden didn't do anything when that was demonstrably untrue.

[joseph l. flores, phd @jojoinks_]

Spokane is on fire again... literally.

How devastating.
