The guy on the right is New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, photographed at the Kennedy Center premiere of “Melania.” #GoSeahawks!

Soon: China won the truck and van race.

Every time more Epstein files are released, I wonder who the "Epstein" is today because all of these billionaires and elite assholes can't have stopped abusing girls just because one guy died. Someone must have walked right in and filled that gap.

The world feels like its on fire, but things like this is why im thankful to be born in this day and age with science advancing like it has been. These are heroes www.unilad.com/news/health/...

A blues guitar tour-de-force from the great Lightnin' Hopkins for you on a Friday night. Holy smokes! youtu.be/BATlJwKB8ts?... RIP Lightnin' Hopkins, who died 44 years ago today.

The Colorado state IT department was on the news today for their Cybersecurity Resiliency audit. I’m reading the public version and I’m having PTSD from my previous life. I certainly do not miss arguing with auditors.

Today Musk is on about plans for the Tesla Robotaxi. Q: But how do you hail one? A:

Happy birthday to Kathleen Lonsdale DBE FRS (née Yardley, 1903-1971) 🐡🎢🧪👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci who solved a longstanding #chemistry conundrum of the shape of benzene, here with her drawing of electron density for hexachlorobenzene (green) & model of hexamethylbenzene.

Whistles should be banned instead of masked murdering out-of-control, lawless Proud Boy thugs with assault weapons, tear gas, arrested development, and anger issues. Fascist Fox News and its alumni trash are destroying our democracy.

As an older tech person, it's legit heartwarming watching the TikTok generation discover why we all hate Oracle.

Wrote myself a pep talk to get back to work tomorrow. It helped me. Hope it helps you.

iPad OS windowing update. Someone should get fired for this. What a disaster.

Couple thoughts.. I’m on board with a national boycott. I really only *need* groceries. I can do without anything else for a month or two. Also, some work is unsafe for Hispanics to do now, I would consider doing some of that work, and donating the proceeds to needy folks. More on that later.

The Ukrainian army has now been fighting Russia longer than the Russians fought in WW2.

“The BYD Shark is Australia’s most popular pickup that isn’t sold to fleet buyers. BYD moved 15,564 trucks to private owners. By comparison, Toyota sold 12,529 Hilux pickups during the same time. Impressive, especially when you keep in mind that Toyota owns 20% of Australia’s car market.” #tacoma

This seems about as timely as anything right now. Dark times indeed. Take care of your own mental health. youtube.com/shorts/gWlVJ...

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

I suppose we’ll get lectured again about how this isn’t fascism yet and it’s really not at all on the same level as Nazi Germany. Do we have to wait for more death squads and more congressional visits to the torture chambers?

“Donald Trump is a threat to France, to Europe and first and foremost to America because, like Adolf Hitler, he is dismantling the American Constitution; the steps are the same, creating a Gestapo with his I.C.E. unit; the Americans are heading straight for disaster” - General Michel Yakovleff

This is so fucking haunting.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

The US auto industry is dead. They just don’t know it yet. The rot has consumed all the vital parts and we’re just waiting for the head to fall off.

All imma say is no more auto industry bailouts. They all wanna play capitalist big dogs until the consequences of their poor business decisions catch up to them then they turn into democratic socialists Enough

Americans.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

There's something so very cringe-worth and sadly unsurprising for Trump to tell the people of Davos, located in the German-speaking Graubünden Canton of Switzerland, that "if it were not for the USA, you'd be speaking German."

I wish two things: 1. Ryanair operated in the US. 2. People would cancel Starlink (I know a lot of people who dislike Musk but still have Starlink; I wish they’d not give that a$$hole their money)

And to think that only a year ago I was offered the opportunity to move to Canada for work and didn’t do it. Sometimes I make bad decisions.

Looking on wistfully from a snow-free Colorado. <sigh>

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

The families of the 457 British service members who died fighting alongside U.S. in Afghanistan might disagree.

This is so grim. Science isn’t just something nerds do, but the foundation of the modern world. What the Trump regime has done to US science will harm Americans for generations.

Newsom commenting on EU approach to dealing with Trump (in Davos): “This is not diplomacy, this is stupidity”

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN. This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.

European World Cup teams should only play in Canada. Latin American and African teams can play in Mexico. The US can play with itself. No foreign teams should come to the US to play in this disgraceful nation.

10. And if you read this and think "I'm more like King than Trump" ask yourself if you've ever thought that people who voted for Trump deserve what they're getting. Or stopped talking to a neighbor who put up a yard sign you didn't like. We honor King because what he did was so damned hard.

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Mark my words… Americans will be buying Canadian cars in 5 years. Ford/Chevy/Dodge will be relics of the past, building gas/diesel vehicles that no one wants any more.

Minnesotans shot Christofascist, pardoned J-6 insurrectionist, Jake Lang in the face with silly string yesterday. It's being called the 'Minnesota Money Shot' 🤣

Imagine the boos that the US Hockey Team will get playing in the Olympics. Maybe the US team will get to meet and listen to the Latvians in the first round and learn a little bit of history. But with meatheads like the Tkachuk brothers (of Ukrainian descent no less) on the team, I doubt it.

Yes, we can already mine in Greenland and stage military operations there. But unless we own it, we cannot do ICE raids, ban trans athletes, and take away their healthcare. by Donald Trump

Preserved lemons. Seems like a good way to bring some brightness into the cold month of February.

“Bean Boots” is the New England term for “cold feet”. Built that opinion 45 years ago and I’m sticking with it.

I was quite confidently assured by no less a personage than Brett Kavanaugh that US citizens would be released from questioning after only a few minutes. #KavanaughStop

Long after 92-year-old Sen. Chuck Grassley is dead, our country will be suffering from his collaboration with a corrupt FBI to help the dictator punish his enemies. (NYT gift link)

This guy can’t even get his spoonfed talking point correct. Ugh

I followed a bunch of interesting Spanish bsky users a while back and every morning it’s like waking up to a new Spanish lesson. While I’m sleeping they’re posting and it’s at the top of my timeline when I wake up. A couple new words a day, and I’ll make progress.
