Lol I mean it's what he did in 2016. As soon as he was elected it went from the worst to absolute best economy the world had ever seen.

The smoke in south Philly is insane. Opened the door and my whole house smells like a camp fire

We've been in Poconos since Thursday AM but understand fires raged close to home.
Hopping in car soon to head back, will see.
Awful stuff...need some rain.

I mean, I did my 15-hour Judge of Election job and watched horrid election results. Next day there are like 200 new posts in the AMT threads. Just not bothering anymore. It negatively impacts my mental health. Yous all have pretty common sense views so I like it here.

it’s like “what’s the point?” that’s what I tell my one buddy (you may know who I’m talking about) who is constantly copying and pasting stuff over there. I asked him “when was the last time you WON an argument? never?”

I think I gotta go on a news moratorium. I’m making sense of how this happened. with GOP control of the house, senate and SC there’s nothing to do but watch in horror…..and hope these motherfuckers burn themselves to the ground.

Remember when I did that for a year after Trump was elected the first time, Wob?  
It helped.
Just mentioned to Mrs FMe this morning I may ignore all news and kill all conversations about politics for a year.   She hated when I did that, before.
She said it is our responsibility to keep up. 

Harrumph.

Right - I guess I won't cut it off yet.  We will see how bad it gets.

Unfortunately, I absolutely love Twitter and I think I'm finally coming around to maybe it's time to unplug from that one.

I feel the same way about twitter. Just wish there was a viable other option. 

Maybe I will just delete the app for a while.

Bluesky seems the most viable for what I want, though Threads seems to have the easiest accessibility. Mastodon stinks, Reddit is good for looking for specific niche topics. But F all that, it's just all more than I'd like to check and follow, that's why I haven't given up Twitter yet. But now it's just relentless with the awfulness.

F Me In The Brain

Never got a Twitter, Facebook, any other account for personal use.
Am active on LI for work.

Enough distraction for me to contend with using phone for near constant sports and music related stuff.

I don't think it's at a critical mass point (yet), but Bluesky seems to be the way.

Gaetz....umm, need to avoid the news.

WIP talking up Bregman as a good add for Phillies.
Run the other way from that guy.  Total d bag and on the decline.

Johnny Abruzzo

Yeah I'd rather keep Bohm.

Jearlpam0925

I dunno I would normally, probably agree. But it was problematic/disturbing/jarring (imo) to see the way he acted in the dugout when the frustrations got the better of him. I don't think a guy like that is worth having on a team you're trying to win now with.

Got the delivery. Just as good
