How did the US devolve into the late Qing dynasty, with Trump as the world’s oldest child emperor Puyi surrounded by scheming eunuchs?

Huge problem. They're gonna spring Peters, who got caught dead to rights tampering with voting machines.

The Boring Company is so great. All the Elon Musk scammy fakery, with none of the flashy techno wizard bullshit.

Guns have civil rights now

Space photographer Andrew James McCarthy @ajamesmccarthy.bsky.social has captured many epic images of celestial bodies, but this may be his greatest: a perfectly timed photo of a skydiving friend with the sun behind him (shot w/ equipment revealing great solar detail). Behold "The Fall of Icarus."

This is a slam dunk. Easiest resist ever, and dumbest authority theater

In 1968, a soldier named Hugh Thompson defied orders to save Vietnamese lives during the My Lai massacre. Eventually seen as a hero, in real time he was vilified and nearly court-martialed It's Congress' job to stop Trump's war crimes, not the troops. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

What is it Oracle actually does? I mean, different from basically every boring company in the Big Computer Stuff space? Would anyone *really* notice if Larry’s shop went away, other than picking up a bunch of new clients?

Trump: “Get me someone from central casting!” Central casting: *sends Capt. America McGraw from Generation Kill*

Having to put white mommy into their brown mommy prison camp is clearly hitting these ICE chuds where it hurts.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

Turns out the deal Trump bragged about, the one where China would buy 12 million metric tons of US soybeans by year end, was never an actual deal. It was a “concept” of a deal.

This is madness.

Criminal real estate scammers…now where have we heard that before?

So a bunch of people who want enormous financial bribes from Russia bypassed the man who REMAINS both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to capitulate to Russia. Then he got the backing of key Senators, and with it, tried, once again, to prevent the total capitulation by the US.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true. I have known Carl for 2 decades and he is smart, dedicated, and quite apolitical, focused on science and getting stuff done on important problems. Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.
