Goodbye, sweet Twitter. It used to be so much fun.
I’m moving over to that Cielo Azul place (jesterkz_punto_bsky_punto_social).
You can also follow me on the Gram @jesterkz.
I’m also trying to keep an Insta cat site going @bradscats.
And I am always on FB.
Goodbye, cruel X.

Fuck it, what could go wrong. I’m back. Blue sky is a liberal echo chamber and Instagram is self-absorbed and Facebook is where I wanna interact with old friends. Just wanna see the raw news as it’s happening. So I guess I’m stuck with X.

I am a @CNN fan. I will not be watching the town hall tonight. There is nothing to be learned, therefore it is not “news”. @kaitlancollins

Oil price per barrel are currently $86, while gas prices are close to $4 a gallon. In 2010, oil was slightly over $85 a barrel, while gas was under $3.
While price per barrel remains the same, Oil companies have jacked up prices over 30%
It’s not Biden, it’s the Oil companies.
