AI is a lie. Always has been. It's just software and susceptible to bugs and vulnerabilities like other software.

Afroman found not liable. A complete victory for the rapper and a massive unforced error from the cops and their attorney. www.billboard.com/pro/afroman-...

In a clear attempt to try to "grab back his Christian Nationalist base by the p*ssy," this event has the clear fingerprints of Reich Minister of Propaganda, Stephen Miller on it... Not to worry...by May 17th he'll be gone, or we'll be engulfed in World War III... share.google/O2Xewm7vE58a...

The weather's gonna suck for firefighting here. Who ordered 90°F and high winds for March?

Does that also include abortion for a woman whose life is in danger from pregnancy complications?

The Morrill Fire is flaring up within the perimeter. The flare-ups are ten miles north of me. app.watchduty.org/i/85446

Late civil rights icon Cesar Chavez accused of sexually abusing young girls in the movement for years Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her. Gift link:

I absolutely think this is the key element in deciding to separate art and artist. Shakespeare was probably one kind of asshole or another but buying the complete works doesn’t allow him or his heirs to do more damage. It’s a critical distinction between censorship and boycott.

Local sheriffs noted people on social media are telling people in Nebraska their homes are safe to return to. This is a lie, risking life. Do not get your safety updates from social media, particularly X, the everything CSA app. Listen only to local authorities and credible local media outlets.

CBS News ratings are tanking. Good. 🍿

And now, the Taibbi-Tracey Convergence. It makes so much sense. All it lacks is Glenn Greenwald.

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.

Idaho also has a 3 strikes law so any trans people who get caught in the wrong bathroom with at least 2 previous felonies are facing life in prison if this passes.

Reporter: “If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?” PA voter: “You're a worthless pile of shit.” Reporter: “How many times did you vote for him?” PA voter: “Three times. That was my bad. Apparently I'm an idiot.”

I just got off the telephone with the ranch owner (she only lives a couple blocks from me). Her ranch is mostly wiped out. Via archive dot is at the Scottsbluff Star-Herald: "There's nothing left to burn" (with photographs and maps). archive.is/ReaPh

A federal judge dealt another major blow to the Trump administration's effort to dismantle Voice of America, ordering more than 1,000 employees back to work after a year on paid leave, according to a new report.

So DNI Gabbard released a carefully worded statement laying all of the decision to invade Iran on Trump's feet, and that HE felt there was an imminent threat and based his decision to invade on his own opinion. Nobody is willing to fall on their sword for the nekkid emperor.

So he will obey an illegal order from Trump to send troops to polling places.

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced that it will analyze 1 million old disability benefits questionnaires dating to 2010 to identify possible signs of fraud in future claims.

The Nebraska Panhandle is still on fire. The west end of the Morrill Fire is just north of me. www.wyomingnewsnow.tv/news/some-co...

“He was deceived by Israel” is going to be the story so many people are going to reach for and I think creating this stabbed in the back myth is going to have some really bad consequences down the line.

This is a REALLY big deal. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd: “…we are on the ground floor with this day in and day out — looking in the eyes of these folks that, yes, came here inappropriately. But some came here inappropriately only to do better for themselves and their family.”

the billionaires are not ok

🚨 Red Flag Warning issued March 17 at 12:17AM MDT until March 17 at 8:00PM MDT by NWS Cheyenne WY 🚨 Additional Details Here.

KOLN-TV, Lincoln, Nebr. (22:04) on the fires in Nebraska. It would be nice if coastal news organisations cared about more than diners in election season here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL7j...

The evil clown car wreck of his failed pandemic response was swept into the memory hole. Too many in the MSM helped to rebrand and normalize this malicious miscreant.

The Morrill Fire is now 18% contained. We're still concerned about our home going up in flames. Summer is going to suck. This is the largest fire in Nebraska history; the second-largest is also burning. (Current fire map.) firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:7days...

I do not think it’s fun to live in a world with no enforceable laws!

Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and MAGA donor, is in Rome this week for a series of private lectures on the Antichrist. It’s an event that the Vatican, and the pope, are treating with caution.

Started thinking about the metaphorical correlations between parasitical wasps and the Trump administration, and totally freaked myself out.

Pope Leo asked me to meet him in a private audience at the Vatican today I presented him with documents and evidence detailing decades of abuse inside Opus Dei and urged him to launch a full independent investigation into the group A THREAD 🧵

Republicans have fought for decades to enable taking of public school dollars for private religious school vouchers, and now they are about to find out that vouchers can work for madrassas as well.

Well, the most honest transphobe out there, at least. Forget anything about "protecting women and children" or "unsettled science" or "regrets" or anything else. All they actually believe is "trans people are weird and people I think are weird should be eliminated from society." That's it.

The Morrill Fire in Nebraska has killed 1 and consumed 549,000 acres with 0% containment. This is more than 10% of the entire area burned by U.S. wildfires in 2025, and makes it one of the 20 largest fires in U.S. history. Sunday forecast is grim: High Wind Warning, 25-35 mph winds, gusting to 50.

Well, the High Wind Warning is going to be allowed to expire. Hopefully lower winds will help the firefighters here.

Josh Nass, a lawyer and lobbyist with connections in Trump’s orbit, has been arrested by FBI agents and charged with attempted extortion, according to court papers. Nass had recently represented Joseph Schwartz, a former nursing home executive pardoned by Trump late last year.

Today's fire map. The winds were low today so the fire contracted. They're picking up again. It's 20 miles from my house. The Morrill Fire burned more than 400 square miles of Nebraska, but because we're "flyover country," national media doesn't care. firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:24hrs...

Does Donald know that the Gov of Canada is Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Gov General & Commander-in-Chief of Canada. Indigenous woman from Nunavik, fluent in English & Inuktitut, former Canadian ambassador to Denmark, and current representative of the King in Canada. 🇨🇦

The Premier of Manitoba, Canada says what everyone is thinking… there’s no reason for the war in Iran unless its to bury the Epstein files. Children are being killed to distract from them being raped. We won’t forget. We won’t stop demanding transparency & accountability.

The problem is not the immigrants coming in and not assimilating. The problem is people like Ogles who refuse to assimilate into modern America.

In which Bezos' #BrokenPost declares the future of Christianity to be misogynist, bigoted, and presumably white nationalist instead of, oh, Christianity.

Turning the death of an American in uniform into a fundraising pitch isn’t “messaging.” It’s a moral failure. Military families deserve compassion and privacy, not to be exploited for Donald Trump’s pursuit of attention and cash.

KBBX-FM, Nebraska City, yesterday. este.telemundonebraska.com/story/205552...

More than four hundred square miles of crops and cattle up in flames here but only one death so far is simply not news to the coastal media giants.

This is horrific. They deported a local 6 year old who can only communicate through ASL. He's in a critical period for language development and isn't around anyone who can converse with him. www.kron4.com/news/bay-are...

Everything is on fire here. Many villages here are evacuated. I'm threatened with a loss of power today and may have to leave. We're "flyover country" though, so the Morrill Fire isn't getting much coverage anywhere. Current fire map via NASA. firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:24hrs...

Today was the last day coaching the Vail Mountain School Telemark Team this winter. It's the best thing I can do with myself, and it's over until after Thanksgiving. Bittersweet, for sure.
