Robert Mueller, a Vietnam veteran with a bronze star for heroism, and a purple heart has passed away. Perhaps his biggest honor was trying to save our democracy. I REFUSE to let him be a punchline for our deranged president. Robert Mueller was a hero and may he rest in peace and watch over us. Amen.

Release all the Epstein files 😠

CRUELTY IS THE POINT, DEATH IS THE ENDGAME.......

wouldn't it be nice if all aspects of the world were as clear and as black and white as my yard appeared during yesterday's surprise snow storm. reflectionsofasociologist.substack.com/p/march-weat...

A year ago, before we cut back the forsythia, in all it's amazing yellow abundance.

apparently Gyges' Anti-Anti-AI block list was seeded with anyone who reposted "I Am An AI Hater" by @anthonymoser.com it's a great essay and apparently if you repost it the bros will avoid you anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

lots of signs of spring everywhere (forsythia at the edge of our property).

yes Putin's wet dream of endless war that destroys the US, increases his wealth, and takes attention away from his war in Ukraine.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.

then I just as soon NOT be "special"

The US has no justification, no legal standing, no moral reason to take over Cuba, "friendly" or otherwise.

Occurs to me that it is in Putin's best interests to play both sides (Iran/US) and keep this conflict going as long as possible with the maximum amount of damage possible, so he can sell Russian oil, and divert weapons from Ukraine to middle east.

I'm declaring right now that I do not support this war in Iran. I do not support any war. I do not support Netanyahu. I do not support Trump. I think Israel needs a change in their leadership badly. And I think America needs a change in their leadership badly. How do we do it? The Hague?

daffodils are in full bloom, Gurrly kitty likes them almost as much as I do.

What we are doing to Cuba is immoral and offensive. Cuba didn't attack us, had no plans to attack us, was doing nothing to harm the US, but we've cut off their supply routes for fuel and other necessities like we're at war. Just one of the million things I'm pissed about tonight!

until 1917 there were many cities in US (Baltimore, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Cincinnati) with huge German speaking populations and government and public schools operated in German as well as English in these cities. Had we not gone to war with Germany, that might have continued for many years.

A favorite poem. Unfortunately war technology has far surpassed Teasdale's day, and we would leave little in the way of trees or birds alive with 21st century war.

T keeps saying "consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before," every time Iran makes a reasonable response to an attack on their country. It's been decades since I last spent significant time worrying about nuclear war, but now I am. Is anyone else seriously worried about this? 1/3

Every time I think about posting about some thing happening that I oppose, object to, hate, want changed (e.g., current bombing of Iran), I think of thirty other things that I can't fit into that post, that are just as bad, if not worse, and then I don't say anything. Well that needs to stop. +

Polling has consistently shown Americans DO NOT want war with Iran. Anyone in Congress voting to give more money to an illegal unconstitutional war must be voted out. They are going against the sworn oath they took to the Constitution. We won't forget.

There are reasons to be angry about our illegal attacks on Iran, but not putting the flag at half-mast for the deaths of active military personnel is not one of those things. The flag has almost never been lowered for the deaths of active military lost during battle, for good reason

it is the 2nd day of March, but already a few of the daffodils around Letcher county have popped open, bright splotches of yellow on a grey drizzly day.

Here’s a radical idea for Congress: abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, then take that ICE/CBP BBB slush fund and rebuild our national security apparatus, joint terrorism task force, and alphabet agencies as independent entities. We’re going to need them again. Trump won’t sign it, but let’s write it.

Congress must be rolling over in their graves right now.

So how much of this is just an excuse so that they don't have to pay the tuition costs of elite colleges, and can use all that money saved on cost overruns for expensive toys from American corporations?

So two companies offer up the exact same safety redlines, but one gets yelled at and threatened, and one gets approved and thanked...does anyone else thing that a huge bribe may have been paid behind the scenes???

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Many US presidents have governed effectively with a Congress lead by a different party, the only reason why Dems taking control of the House, is because T doesn't want to govern, he wants to break laws and be a dictator.

Look, you've got two great candidates on the ballot in the Texas primaries. Vote for your sensibilities, but whichever wins, throw your support behind them, because either will be orders of magnitude better than the repugnican they will face in the general.

Declaring war against Iran won’t stop us from talking about the Epstein files. We can multitask.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

The historical analogies in the article (ATMs, Excel, electrification) all prove the OPPOSITE of what the doom narrative suggests. Each time: the tool made skilled humans more valuable, not less. The job changed. The expertise became more critical, not obsolete.

A junior lawyer doing 4 years of document review isn’t wasting time. They’re building the judgment that lets them know when the AI’s output is wrong. Skip that pipeline and you get senior partners who can’t evaluate what Claude gives them. That’s not efficiency. That’s institutional brain damage.

One of the most important things ever said about AI:

Massie on ABC just now: “Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he’s not. He’s still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration.”
