Damn it. May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

So far. They are working on redacting the others

The only thing a fascist hates more than protests is a free press.

Not a big fan of this. I do not trust Schumer to hold strong in the follow-up. Democrats and Trump strike government funding deal as shutdown looms www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I used to be sort of ok with watercolors.

The people on the streets in Minneapolis aren't protesters. They are defenders, helpers, and observers.

Not super happy about this.

this is actually really nice to hear

I've never had imposter syndrome because I've always known for sure that I was an imposter.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

They brought back the Cheronites in the new Star Trek, and this is one of the nerd things I’ll back up because 1) originally played by Frank Gorshin 2) they were from a TOS episode that was literally the Dr. Seuss story about star bellied sneeches

One thing I've enjoyed with Star Fleet Academy, desire my problems with it, is all the shout outs to other shows from TOS to Prodigy to Lower Decks.

Imagine driving down the Miracle Mile in 1967 and seeing this in your rearview mirror... Fear not, it's just sculptor Howard Ball in a VW towing one of his fiberglass mammoths to be installed at the La Brea Tar Pits.

“There isn’t a lot of reliable information out there about how to buy a gas mask, especially for the specific purpose of living under state repression. But hopefully after reading this guide you’ll feel equipped to make an educated decision.” [theverge.com]

A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor. ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

This is a reference to when, during the LA Wildfires a year ago, Trump ordered the release of water from reservoirs that flowed... nowhere near LA and basically evaporated. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland. In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

When Trump is finally gone from office there will be many reparations necessary. I'm really looking forward to this one.

So the homicide was premeditated. Planned in advance. Agents knew they wanted to kill him, so they prepared for the opportunity and took it. Thanks for helping NYT.

They got me. Twice. Connections Puzzle #963 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟩🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨

The TRX workout was way more intense than I'm used to these days. It also made me decide to go ahead and get the cortisone shots in the knees. And to do the old people's recovery without tomorrow. Getting old is not for the weak.

No statute of limitations on murder.

Watched the "Secret Mall Apartment" last night. It's pretty amazing and highly recommended.

Trying to learn a tiny bit of Brazilian portuguese in advance of a trip to Brazil later this year. So far, it's not going great.

I think it's really great that one of the primary founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was an occultist who was into weird sex magic.

Miniatures painters: what's the best clear matte finish?

I see no evidence that there's any real demand for a humanoid robot. Or any evidence that Musk can produce a functional one.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

The folk singer wrote the tune “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)” about the same 1948 plane crash ICE is memorializing today.

“The officer informed me that his director stepped in and told him that Maher would not be allowed to attend Wael’s burial.”

With all this talk about Alberta separating from Canada, I'd like to offer to trade WA for Alberta even up.

Great pivot

Guerrilla art in the form of street signs pop up all over Philadelphia. /

I grew up a space kid. I was born in 1959 and was glued to the TV for every launch starting with Gemini. I cried when Apollo 1 burned. I was lucky enough to meet astronauts and tour the Vehicle Assembly Building while Apollo 17 was being assembled when I was 12. I got to see it launch 1/5

Musk is the underpants gnome of tech.

When I was in B-School, we did the Carter Racing Case Study which is a disguised look into the Challenger mission and how various pressures overwhelmed engineering safety. It was sobering.

JUst discovered oil washes. Why did no one tell me about them before now?

I have really been looking forward to this one. If nothing else, no f-ing multiverse.

RFK Jr. is a murderer

One strategic reason to impeach Noem ASAP is that it increases the likelihood she'll turn on Miller, especially if she thinks the admin is hanging her out to dry.

I know ICE and CBP agents aren't the brightest people, but someone should explain to them that there is no statute of limitations on murder.

I hate it when I agree with Rand Paul

NEWS: The United States government has withdrawn from the Open Government Partnership, epitomizing the rapid retreat from the Enlightenment values our nation of, by, & or the people was founded upon. e-pluribusunum.org/2026/01/28/e...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Has anyone been able to identify the “if you raise your voice, I erase your voice” agent? Because that’s someone who, for public safety, should be named and identified and warned about.

Watching Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix and I'm crying. The art they made is so powerful.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

I decided he's a striper.
