Ageing hippie. Long-time expat. Science ed writer, occasional novelist, Gen AI enthusiast, sorry. On the interwebs since 1995 with nothing to show for it. Free prize for whoever identifies the photo (not the pizza).

That’s why it’s refreshing to see Mamdani walk 6 miles home talking to people along the way.

A good recap…Melania is as bad a liar as her vulgar, short-fingered husband.

Reagan meant actual peace. We defeated the Soviet Union by building our military and a concurrent negotiating and economic effort to end their rule. It worked without open war. Trump isn’t doing anything of the sort. He’s a drunken fool careening around a glass shop breaking crap until passing out.

Donald Trump is threatening to destroy a "whole civilization… never to be brought back again," but at least Merrick Garland kept his investigation from looking too political.

*Yesterday

The next pro forma session is on Thursday. Instead of just posting about how Congress needs to convene: get on a plane and be there to force the issue through Motions to Suspend the Rules via unanimous consent. Strike a deal with 8 GOP members to vacate the Speakership. Go. Do something.

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

@crockett.house.gov very graceful concession! Would be great to see you share the stage with Talarico at a rally or three. I’m overseas but have ex-MAGA family in Tyler ready to go Blue.

IDGAF. I want to see Trump behind bars or worse for corruption, treason and child rape.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

404media.co

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

Is it time to become cable channel with @donlemonofficial.bsky.social @katiephang.bsky.social Anderson Cooper, @jimacosta.bsky.social and your regular cast of all-stars?

Raise the money and go!

Tonight's a good night for every new org to confirm that the DOJ covered up accusations of child rape against the man currently speaking.

I admit I had to look it up. Robert Trujillo, Metallica bassist and a few minor football players. However, a long list of famous actors have been “on set” as it’s nearby studios.
