I just heard that the trump's latest travel ban bars healthcare plans from entering the country.

We generally underestimate the intelligence of birds and overestimate the intelligence of the right wing.

www.openculture.com/2022/01/toni.... This is a prophetically accurate list. We're at step all of them all at once. #8. "Criminalize the enemy. Then prepare, budget for and rationalize the building of holding arenas for the enemy-especially its males and absolutely its children."

Decades ago, before Silicon Valley, there was a cartoon (Herb Caen related?) of a train conductor dressed in a Gestapo-adjacent uniform, announcing, "velcome to Palo Alto. Please haf your papers in order." Seems as widely predictive now as the Simpsons.

"War is peace." The FIFA Ministry of Truth.

Wow, Spinal Tap is all over the Epstein files.

Skullduggery.

Skullduggery.

@pamthur.bsky.social. Sadly, Pierre Robert has left us, but WMMR seems to have reached Berkeley.

Ice agents are basically the droogs at the end of A Clockwork Orange, criminals and sociopaths who otherwise would be on probation, now given badges and guns.

Berkeley reaffirms the power of a lot of people not knowing what the chant is and not singing it at the same time : )

At this point, no one could blame Canadians for launching a preemptive attack.

Trump made his political entrance on an escalator. Clearly, escalators are trying to offer some kind of apology.

Think how great this will look when it's republished by the Department of War.

Bad Teachers, Bad Santa, Bad Moms, Bad Grandpa, Bad Lieutenant, Bad Boys, yet Hollywood won't produce my film Bad Titles.

Robots are garbage.

bsky.app/profile/figh.... Lost among all the other horrific losses, Trump is eviscerating NASA.

All Springsteen needs to do is seek discovery of Trump's taxes, college records, NDAs and the full Epstein files.

Jacinda spoke primarily about empathy in politics and is a visiting fellow at Harvard, so I was surprised the Ice gestapo didn't try to kidnap her from the podium.

This administration is like a protracted wake, except half the mourners will also die in the middle of the service.

Emblematic of 95% of US media now. When Trump cancels the midterms, the NYT will declare it an unconventional approach to elections.

New rule: the majority of people Bill Maher platforms (see RFK Jr., Russell Brand, Jordan Peterson, Musk, ad infinitum) are ikely to be con artist sexual predators, drug-addled, and/or Putin operatives.

First Pam Bondi gives guns back to racist domestic abuser Mel Gibson. Now Trump is importing racist white Afrikaners. This administration's public policy is the script from Lethal Weapon Bizarro World.

I fu#%ing give up. Message from Academia.edu An AI created a podcast of your paper “Bright Days for the Black Market”: Color-Coded Crises in Contemporary U.S. Fiction and the Works of Thomas Pynchon Listen to podcast ▸

New DHHS anti-vaccine campaign.

If the US ever emerges from this insanity, we will owe the entire world reparations.

Self-explanatory.

@hntdove.bsky.social We were talking about you today in Alicante.

I regret to announce (by which I mean I take sadistic joy) that I will impose a 73.7% tariff on all replies to my posts. I calculated this by measuring the extent to which I take sadistic joy in imposing tarrifs, which can be waived by escalating bribes &assurances my tarrifs are the greatest ever.

Now I'm worried when they seize my phone at the airport they'll find my war plans to invade Paul Weiss, to turn their offices into beachfront property with a giant casino and claim it was historically always part of Skadden.

A short list of my publications Meta illegally uploaded to its AI (wouldn't fit on 50 posts). So .000000000000001% of my creative DNA is in chatbots. Glad I inserted sleeper malware code into all my publications. Search for an author in LibGen Hardack 24 Results Not Altogether Human...

This is why war between the UK (left) and Australia (right) is inevitable.

Before this, I thought that a kind family member needs to sit #ChuckSchumer down and explain he needs to be cared for. Now we need to take his keys away immediately because he's driving the country off a cliff.

Musk has fired the NSF researcher who would have invented a time machine.

I am doing my best to stay inebriated.

That was the worst Starship since they built this city on rock and roll.

Australian newscaster this morning: "We have an American dictator who's lost his marbles. And he's not going to push us around. I'm not sure if Americans need to apologize to us or we should feel sorry for them. I think the only person equipped to handle this is a psychiatrist."

Welcome to the cryptocracy. Check your savings at the door.

Mood.
