"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

I'll never forgive unleashing this madman on the world.

I am in blood Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er Macbeth, Act III, sc. 5

This was from 2017 after first time Trump was “elected”…chills every time I see it

MBS is telling Trump he can't stop now. He has to finish the Iranian regime off. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/there...

"I got the idea for this one watching a Santa Claus parade with my two kids and noticed that on the Santa Claus float the worthy gentleman chosen for the role must have been a last-minute and at least third-string replacement." —Rod Serling on Twilight Zone's "Night of the Meek"

I thought of @kmarkhoover.bsky.social

Exile, any day.

Why don't they just ban guns? Oh is that a b there? Oh ok.

What are 5 books you’ve read & loved that you sometimes feel no one else has? 1) The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill 2) Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman 3) A Magical Girl Retires by Seolyeon Park 4) Space Unicorn Blues by T.J. Berry 5) Winter Harvest by Ioanna Papadopoulou

Good old Canberra ground station.

The Big Lie can only succeed when the Big Truth is too hard to take. You have to change your worldview too much, too fast. Where we are now, seemingly.

Some guy yelled at me for going the wrong way up to a drive-by mailbox.

And to think the Mercury 7 didn’t even know what postmodern *was.*

The redhead you used to date getting mad at you: That’s “fiery.” Trump threatening mass murder is a bunch of quite different words.

We need to find a way to be like “these photos are amazing and the space program is doing something that’s difficult and an amazing technical feat” and at the same time be honest about the capitalism, militarism, and attack on civilian science that is happening in tandem with this development 🧪

"Fair and balanced!" WORKED. I actually used this with a day job engagement . "How do we gain people's trust?" Product team gave many complicated answers taking months of dev time. Me: "We say we're trusted." Reader, it WORKED. Stuns me to this day.

I watched it recently. So much fun. The physics of having a magic dart moving through your system.

There's a practical reason beyond "just" racism that the US has a carceral system that so overpolices and imprisons Black people. Black people have been a major part of every major systemic reform in the history of this country. Keeping Black people in cages keeps people like Trump in power.

And the wall that keeps the world out and scared of us also keeps everyone from getting in to help us. If you want to keep a Trump from happening again, defunding the police isn't optional. We have to be anticarceral. The prison industrial complex must be eliminated.

and the most guns in the world, ARE ALL BAD THINGS. We built an impregnable imperial fortress atop a torture gulag thinking it made us strong and said that a dictator can't happen here so it's fine. But an imperial power will always use its might against its own people eventually.

So many of my fellow USians keep asking why someone doesn't do something. Friends, this is why having the most expensive and most powerful military in the world, and a police force that's the third most expensive and powerful military in the world by itself, and the world's largest prison system,

I think I just realized why they call them Zero Bars. If anybody else remembers those.

“THAT’s why prices are so high!”

On tonight's episode of MIDSOMER MURDERS, a bunch of annoying writers are killed at a literary festival! For some reason, this one really speaks to me!

I see his point, but not Hank Pym, surely. But Gordon Gekko or the guy in Fatal Attraction, definitely.

So, this happened. Thanks to @clarkesworldmagazine.com for taking a chance on my strange tale of a weird London.

Or shoplifting? That one really makes them clutch their pearls.

But corporations have bought our government, something petty thieves cannot afford to do.

Alabama authorities are throwing the book at a large polyester penis, claiming that a grandmother’s No Kings costume violated community standards.

That said, it’s the book that put @premeemohamed.com on my must-read list. I guess I was not in a frolicking mood when I picked it up. It is VERY suspenseful.

To paraphrase Arthur Dent, this must be some new meaning of the word “romp” that I’m unfamiliar with.

Waits reminds me more of Captain Beefheart than anyone else.

Another choice might be THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, considering that Klaatu (“Mr. Carpenter”) has a resurrection. The original film, of course.

One of my brothers shared this with me, but thank God not with the whole family. youtu.be/7rgili5Eirc

Watching CHOCOLAT, in case you’re looking for a pretty good Easter movie. Then there’s DONNIE DARKO.

Yes, but if we ever do meet aliens I want us to be able to show them a planet we can be proud of.

A mixed blessing.

As T.S. Eliot had it, springtime awakens both memory and desire. That's what I hear in Elgar's Introduction and Allegro for Strings. Andrew Manze and Finland's Tapiola Sinfonetta perform it with all the energy, warmth, and finesse the score calls for: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TanQ...

Far past time to start a Nuremberg Committee to spotlight and document the crimes of this regime. It might even scare them from whatever they’re planning next. How can we expect Republicans to show courage if Democrats won’t? @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov

Have we discussed yet how one of the signs of a narcissistic abuser is that on all holidays the attention and focus needs to be upon them and only them? No reason

It’s going to take somebody like — I don’t know, Anderson Cooper? — to come out and say that Trump has lost whatever mind he once had. And call for his removal. Trying to think of who else might be able to do it.

Welcome to Trumps America... Time to take our country back and the politicians and military wont do it so it is left to the citizens... Wake up a grab your pitchforks!

That story will have improved my vocabulary as soon as I look up some of those words. Really terrific work.
