Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

What do I look like I do for a living? Wrong answers only.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a Gif. Hard mode-no Star Wars, Marvel.

Me, explaining how carburetor chokes work to my youngest: "well, if you remember in remembrance of The Daleks..."

this is a good excuse to post my all time favorite Star Trek meme

Doubling the sticker price on bacon and then selling it two for one is not going to make you any friends, Kroger.

If you see this post your favorite Pokemon.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

@charliesavage.bsky.social has an excellent explainer covering Trump’s boat attacks. You should read it. At the end of it, he quotes @rgoodlaw.bsky.social who makes the same point I've been trying to make: it's not the second strike that matters, it's 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 of them. They both were murder.

TYVM @journeyled1.bsky.social 🦋 Happy Friday 🌞

TFW you end up spontaneously dancing to Duran Duran in the supermarket with a strange red-nosed moose. Dark Times Moose pictured here with his backup dancers.

Remember when killing floating survivors was shorthand for introducing a character as a villain?

The four-star admiral in charge of Caribbean ops had concerns about the legality of the boat strikes. Hegseth asked him to retire shortly after they started.

Republican congressman criticizes Pete Hegseth: "You don't go on Signal to discuss future war plans, especially when you're putting American troops in harm's way... When I discuss things like this, we're in the SCIF, which is a classified briefing room. I have a classified phone as well."

Publicly admitting to war crimes sure is an interesting strategy

Time to sacrifice more virgins to the orange demon.

👀 Here’s what all the AI hype is really about… 🤷🏻‍♂️🤬

This is a good watch.

BREAKING NEWS: Baby otter gets tickled!

“Trump has attracted acolytes by being the patron saint of the third string.” -Tom Nichols Recommend reading this article.

Smoke alarm, dinner bell: same thing

Counterpoint: The Senate rubber stamped a unqualified candudate who advocated war crimes in print. But now indicators are down, they're looking for an excuse and they have found one.

Boom.

“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024. It’s almost as if there were signs! bsky.app/profile/anna...

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

Purchase my 26 part exercise program and learn the Fitness hacks I learned in Army remedial PT.

This year's stuffing, jalapeno instead of habanero cuz I couldn't find any.

"I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should be brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. 'Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down.' Put it on his fucking gravestone."

I read one of dude's books yesterday, in paper form, and now he is showing up on my discover. Creeping me out a little bit.

Adjusting the brim before the kick is the icing on the cake.

Which behind the scenes will just be 11C veterans strapped to chairs, wearing Marlboro respirators and being force-fed moon pies.

Needs to be a keyboard shortcut for that.

If only Donald Trump could read: “OUR AMERICAN CODE OF MILITARY OBEDIENCE REQUIRES THAT, SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Mein got, Eli Wallach was a genius. The Good The Bad and The Ugly is amazing but he elevates it, steals every scene.

Major faux pas on a family chat that I thought was just to me. Opps. going to burn my phone now.

Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.

Turns out, the real victim is AI.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

...and this is why we don't burn this place to the ground.

Nothing like developments in the world at large to make my own problems seem small.

coast guard personnel stationed in virginia should know that it's still a felony here to display a swastika or a noose in a public place with the intent to intimidate someone, but i guess once you're out to sea it's fair game to signal genocidal intent towards your shipmates???

There goes describing myself as potentially divisive. Drat. Also, if I could summon an zombie army peopled by our wwii veteran grandfathers to rend these suckers limb from limb in a true thanksgiving feast I'd seriously consider it. (Clearly I'm not threatening anyone, content overlords.)

Well surprise surprise: these suckers bite.
