If a new regime dissolved the I R S and formed a new agency, would it still be bound by court settlements made by the previous agency?

Babies and pets don’t look at clocks.

A lot of us continue to spend in products that make oligarchs wealthier and more able to align themselves with an admin who rewards them with the taxes we paid for their products. It should be easy to be without cable, Netflix, Amazon prime, etc. Cut the umbilical cord. Not a boycott. Common sense.

A nice all expenses plus salary paid vacation in Italy for me and my whole family and accomplices on taxpayers money would be nice about now, said no one except traitors to my country

Unbelievable that the only possible remedy is for normal Americans to risk their lives rather than spineless politicians risking their donors.

A warning to the Danish. Anybody with any influence can be bought with unlimited access to very large sums of money that doesn’t belong to them.

I have a Nobel Prize to sell, but only individuals with unlimited funds seized from working people can afford it. Sorry, folks. Some of you have to earn it.

After the insurrection I thought, “just wait, liberal anger is worse and you haven’t seen nothing!” We still haven’t seen nothing.

Wouldn’t it be great if millions of copies of the constitution were mailed every day to all gov agencies? The choices would be: Trash it or Read it. “Ignore it” a choice no longer.

Well it’s about time! His utopia nonsense is permeating policy! [shakes fist at a cloud]

…and the bad guys won

I just discovered a subreddit whose members post about how they are being gangstalked - unknown people watch, monitor and infiltrate their lives. They have 900 active posters and their common theme is how they detect the infiltrators’ presence. My initial reaction was of concern for them. 1/2

In the old days, I would listen to a 10 song album repeatedly and after some time my brain would start playing the next song before it actually started. Now I have a music app, and if I don’t set it on random my brain does the same thing, but now it’s tens of thousands songs.

Been away from social media for a while. My mental state is not getting better. More and more, I struggle with trying to see silver linings. The worst part is watching others support the opposite of goodness. My kind of discomfort is their rai·son d'ê·tre. Humans. So disappointing.

@george-lakoff.comi am absolutely enthralled by your The Neural Mind book, and I have watched a couple of your lectures. Especially the way that ideas are embodied and how the brain works, and what parts of the brain are activated. I have a question.

The line from Rivers of the Hidden Funk: “I’m gonna wait until the rivers run dry…” seems extremely much more far fetched than it used to.

@george-lakoff.com just bought your book on Kindle: The Neural Mind: How Brains Think

Serious question: can anyone find a good news sourced map of the Minnesota killer movements?

“Adderall Taco Ketamine” has a nice ring to it. Easy to make into a song, poem, or fit on a bumper sticker.

Prediction: Tesla gets a multi billion government contract. New models will be unveiled in the military parade.

Rereading the history of Rome and Homage to Catalonia. I go back and forth between the two, just like in real life.

Saturday. Just mentioning the day of the week so I don’t forget it.

Discombobulated. Too many honey-dos. Not enough motivation.

Geez. I haven’t been more exhausted from doom scrolling ever. Things are getting worse. Much worse.

It’s amazing how many people take the current administration at face value when expressing criticism. Rather than just say they shouldn’t be allowed to do something, just call them out for why they are doing it. Extortion for self profit. Racism. Hate. Treason. Nothing else. Nothing more.

@michaelerard.bsky.social I know your next book is about last words, I think. Something just occurred to me. My last words will not be uttered.

Don’t know when SAR began in Bluesky but we need to encourage them to become active here. bsky.app/profile/scho...

Still waiting for a horse to be named to a cabinet position. Oh wait…

Driving back from Columbia MO to Texas, going through Oklahoma I followed this bus for a while. I needed the affirmation.

They’re reporting this as if they didn’t know that a large sect[or] of our society don’t believe this is wrong.

I. Called. It.

I don’t have access to the paper, but I hope that the conclusion is that non-human blood feeding containers can be placed everywhere so mosquitos can feast on the drug.

Mosquitoes die after drinking the blood of people taking a drug for metabolic disorders — a discovery that could help to prevent the spread of malaria https://go.nature.com/4cl6dQP

So when’s the military parade scheduled? Yeah. You know it’s coming.

I don’t think I could walk on the wing of an airplane without falling (because of health issues). I also can’t run. I think I would stay behind so I’m not in anyone’s way. Maybe. Probably. Can’t know until it happens. But the best I could do is crawl. Or roll. Yeah. I think about this all the time.

I actually had a friend named Julio and we were often seen down by the school yard.

The dog too. Because of the obvious eventual food scarcity issue.

So this is what is taking nowadays to draw smart people to apply?

Woke up today to find I’m still living in bizarro world.

Back when I tried my hand at blogging. I need to get back to writing. The Hobbyist is a testament to my own change of a belief system that was putting a lot of pressure on my ability to become more human.

Watched the video of people being evacuated from the upside down Delta plane. Some were walking out with their carry-ons in hand. Good news for once. Good to see people survive. This made my day.

For the non-hearing impaired, there should be an option for closed captions to include only the dialogue without descriptions of the other sounds. I’ll decide if the music is ominous or not, thank you very much!

We’re living a timeline in which events are entirely predictable but we hope they don’t come to fruition. And then they do.

@melaniemitchell.bsky.social I think it’s telling that Max Tegmark hasn’t created an account here. He would find too many arguments against AI doom here. And he gets too many agreeable people in the other platform.
