ICYMI: My bio gives you the basics. I'm a Progressive political commentator (print, radio, podcasts) who is here to share breaking news, stories that strike me as important/interesting + legit info you can use, along with a few laughs & a healthy dose of snark.
I toot a lot because there's a lot of disinformation out there and I care deeply about getting the truth out to as many people as I can.
@GottaLaff I’m not getting notifications when you post. Looks like it started 3 days ago (very been offline the last week or so due to a family emergency). Not quite sure what changed…

I wish you’d move to another more user friendly site. I rarely come back here and I miss your posts very much. Spoutible is my choice. I get much more feedback on that site than anywhere else. Mastodon is confusing and I get no feedback from posters here.
@hippyniki Hi Niki! I find Mastodon to be user friendly. It took a few days and then it felt like home. I hate Spoutible and Post formats. Threads is full of bots (although I post headlines there and at BlueSky just to keep my accounts alive). I see your replies to me and always love hearing from you!
@GottaLaff Good on you, fascism and corporatism spook me.
Whether its corporate control or extremism from hell, both are bad and therefore, I support the progressive message, even if I disagree on specifics, sometimes.
@GottaLaff I just popped in to say this monkey 🙈 appreciates Laffy a lot!
I hope you get time away from the crazy.
Time for you.
Time with friends & family.
Time just sipping wine after a massage, and playing with a puppy.
Thanks again you bring News to many on mastodon who wouldn’t find it without you
@GottaLaff I followed you as soon as I discovered you on Twitter 14 years ago, Laffy. Agreed with and appreciated your astute political analysis. Still a 🤩.
I wasn't yet in the #Fediverse when you wrote this.
Would you say that a political commentator should strive to be neutral or that, rather, chiefly op'ed pieces tend to be the norm.
You recently posted that you aren't a #journalist. If so, which journalist can ever be neutral?
If I remember correctly, #SethAbramson says about himself that he does "curated journalism." The many tweets of his I read (PROOF) were more analytical and mostly op'ed in nature.
Where do you draw the line?
@HistoPol How can a commentator be neutral? The definition= opinion. Reporting should be neutral. I also never said I wasn’t a journalist. I said I wasn’t a reporter.
