A rare view of an Irish rainforest: from high up in the canopy. One of so many things I love about these places is their wonderful 3-D complexity. Such a sheer contrast to the flat, sterile livestock pasture that has replaced around 99% of cover.

Transparency only matters if it comes with accountability.

When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.

ChatGPT’s 900M active users seemed like an insurmountable lead but Gemini is catching up. Google seems set to do OpenAI what Microsoft did to Slack with Teams. Make up for product gaps with better distribution and integration into the Google ecosystem.

I'm here in Minneapolis. Retired U.S Army LT-Colonel. Grew up hunting in Montana mountains. 3 combat tours. They are HUNTING BROWN PEOPLE. Spotter and 3 car abduction teams. They have moved to taking the victims cars to hide the evidence. Probably also hiding the bodies.

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

Make it make sense....

So much of our government is built on the honor system, that it takes just one orange person to say “I won’t honor that” to bring it all tumbling down.

What we are seeking—with our endless thinking—is the end of thinking and seeking. Instead: just the present flow of life

Extremely cool to see another ICE / CBP agent rocking the Neo-Nazi accelerationist skullmask (Seattle, yesterday). Even more convincing evidence that I should totally just trust armed dudes in the exact same outfits as guys who tried to murder me, and do whatever they say because "DHS."

After demanding ICE and other federal agents be banned from wearing face coverings, Schumer and Jeffries added caveats: "no masks, except in extraordinary and unusual circumstances.” trib.al/0fN3kmP

…this was why Elon bought the office of President of the US… he was hoping to get grimy fingers on the Epstein files so he could destroy them…it was never about cost cutting or streamline the workings of the US government…DOGE was a cover…

I know Trevor Reed, @trevorrowdyreed.bsky.social I wrote him while he was wrongfully imprisoned in Russia. His book, Retribution, is essential reading if you want to understand Russia, Ukraine, and the Americans who chose to stand up anyway. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The testimonies from our hearing on ICE and DHS made one thing clear: Our own government is maiming, traumatizing, and even killing U.S. citizens and people in this country. They must be held accountable.

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.
