This is something that should have happened a couple of decades ago, but we were well paid. So, there was never a demand. We were assets. Now, we’re commodities. And AI is making it worse. “two pizza teams” (8 people) are now “1/4 pizza teams” (1 person).

California Republicans put up two candidates, a racist, negatively effective sheriff, and a Brit who helped crash their economy with Brexit. It’s like they didn’t want to even have a chance! Fortunately, the racist asshole is out, but the “America First” crowd actually wants a Brit running CA? 🤦‍♂️

The Iran war has cost between $25b (official DoD estimates) and $50b (some estimates are up to $100b) so far. Some how we had the money for that, but we don’t have the $9.6b it would cost to house every homeless or housing insecure man, woman, and child in the US. endhomelessness.org/resources/re...

Wind turbines are such an eyesore.

The white nationalist agenda, got dressed up in legal language. Governors can carve out majority-white districts… but the second it’s about creating a majority Black or Hispanic district, it’s illegal? Let’s be honest about where this is headed, Black representation in the South gets wiped out.

Pris and Zhora looking like yin and yang, which pretty well matches their personalities. 😂 #dogsofbluesky

A bright spot of hope if the Marshals refuse to act on behalf of the courts.

The entire reason for the ugly shape of this thing was because the panels were going to be structural, cold rolled steel creating the unibody. But Tesla found it too difficult or too expensive to work with, and went with a standard unibody with thin stainless steel adhered to it. Not even welded. 🤦‍♂️

Guerilla advertising seen in the London Metro

@governor.ca.gov when the GOP pulls SNAP, Medicare, etc., do you have a bill to cover it? I pay a in the top rate, but I’d pay more to help those in need. And throw in a tax on corporations that have above a % of their employees on SNAP. They should either pay a living wage or pay for the program.

Hell yes.

🚨🚨🚨

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Doggies coming back from the groomers looking absolutely adorable. #dogsofbluesky

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

We are screwed.

$200m for a political ad paid for by the US government. Besides being a very clear Hatch Act violation, it goes against their stated “reducing wasteful spending and corruption” plan. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Time for another timeline cleanse. Pris and Zhora chillin’ on the couch back. #dogsofbluesky

ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...

@altimmi.bsky.social if someone is a natural born citizen of the US, and then applies for a second citizenship with another nation via descent does the US gov know during or after completion? If you aren’t on a watch list and travel internationally on that passport out of the US, will they know?

None of this is official, but there have been NWS bots setup to get weather info, alerts and warnings. nws-bot.us

. @eff.org is fantastic www.eff.org

With the USA imploding, here’s a little timeline cleanse.

Dems have no choice, if we want to enact meaningful change, we're going to need 30+ more House seats and 60 senators. That's only going to happen if we win local races and do good work at the local level in red states. Depending on battlegrounds is often good enough for the WH, but not good enough.

Accounts are quickly popping up here and there using "Alt" as a prefix. Please exercise caution & watch the starter packs. They are updated in real time.

Folks don’t notice the mundane bureaucracy when it works as intended - when it’s just a minor annoyance. The forecast only called for 10% rain…but it rained. The long line at the (insert here) office. Your mail ended up at the neighbor’s. You followed the CDC’s advice but still got sick.

Ooohhhh, TURN...... Pilots would've never thought to turn! I'm so glad he's here to explain what those sticks and levers are for Whew, whatever would we do without King Tin Foil?

When you have an absolutely shitty day, the doggies know it. My current situation. Moving isn’t an option at this point. ❤️

Deleted my Twitter/X account the day I started here. Today, I deleted IG. I'll be removing Facebook soon too. BlueSky is the place to be.

Watching Selma for MLK Day.

Canada has prepared a retaliatory strategy that hits Trump and his allies where it hurts the most: their political base. www.newsletter.samuel-warde.com/p/canadas-re...

Some doggies snuggling on a January evening without a care in the world.

Why federal workers need your support: “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/o...

Just chilling on a Sunday afternoon

The reality is that Salesmanship is the differentiation between the two parties. The Dems couldn't sell dollar bills for 50c Trump has found his audience and can sell them dollar bills for $5 When everything is a story the algorithm flashes at you as you scroll, you better be selling fast

Despicable! Lying about your house burning down just so you have another excuse to blame Democrats.

@governor.ca.gov just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact-based data around the Southern California wildfires. Get the facts: californiafirefacts.com

I know enough ASL to understand this: 🖕

Bills proposed by the 119th Congress on day 1: HR 21: To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit a health care practitioner from failing to exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... 1/?

So, let me get this straight. There were more jobs created in Dec than anyone expected, and the DJIA falls 700 points. “The market” didn’t like that because they wanted more rate cuts. Sigh. Just more proof. The stock market ISN’T the economy. www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/i...

@b-annie-nelson.bsky.social any chance you’re my wife’s cousin in LA?

If you're in the LA area, I recommend using PBS' warn website for up to the second information about warnings and evac orders (if you have internet). warn.pbs.org

Multiple times a week, someone in my household will come walking in the living room and ask “where’s Pris.” Invariably, she’s always in the same spot.

Doggies being doggies. They love to snuggle up together. And they love sitting on top of the couch back cushion.
