This week, the 2026 #NH Legislative Session begins. With continued attacks from anti-public education and anti-union lawmakers, our unity, our vigilance, and our collective action are more important than ever. neanh.org/about-nea-nh... #NHPolitics

"Magistrate Judge Andrea Johnstone of the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire ruled Monday that the residents could join the Secretary of State’s Office in opposing efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice to force a handover of state voter information." #NHPolitics

It's a new year, so I'm back at the State House again for another day of battle (image unrelated)… Today's this term's "retained bills" day, where we pick up bills again that we retained previously to give 'em another look. Follow along as I livepost the session for today; it'll be long. #NHPolitics

Pikmin Bloom day in review: had another cavity filling at the dentist's office. Got a bit more of School Street filled in on my way back from it.

maybe this will help

I don't remember any discourse about this Pew survey when it came out. Tldr, the median American adult does seem to be moderately hostile toward & pessimistic about AI www.pewresearch.org/science/2025...

Trump wants Venezuela’s oil. Will his plan work?

Merry January and a happy new year #fireemblem

Late, but Gunnthra art to start the new year!

money balling Pascal's wager with a syncretic belief system that gets you past the hell-threshold with a supermajority of belief systems

So what have people been playing for video games lately? I got Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Hades II for Christmas, and then the recent Ragnarök updates have been getting me back into Fire Emblem Heroes again, too... and then of course Sky, Pikmin Bllom, & Duolingo are all still in rotation, too...

I know tonight is the night. As in: Twelfth Night. But my children are petitioning me to keep the tree up until 13th night!

Anyone know what happened to the "America's Army" team?

Seriously someone please explain this to me; if it keeps up I'm going to get too curious and intentionally fall for it just to see what happens:

Honestly confused whenever I see any official institution continue to use X. Twitter is dead, its corpse is being used for legitimately evil purposes, get off X.

Pikmin Bloom week in review: idk, wasn't really that good of a week for walking this week... maybe next week...

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned President Donald Trump to “stop the threats” over acquiring Greenland. - www.cnbc.com/2026/01/04/t...

Always thought the first NATO vs NATO war would be Greece and Turkey not the United States invading Greenland.

The oil is secondary. Trump likes to say he's after the oil because it outrages liberals and because it establishes him as the kind of leader who takes whatever he wants. It's not a sober economic decision.

this is one of the problems with scheming viziers running the show, trump says, clearly, that it's about the oil, and to him, it might be; for rubio, it's something different, for hegseth, it's yet again something different. the insanity comes from trying to reconcile three competing thoughts

Oil is touted by Trump as a grievance and justification, but it's not the main factor ofc The overarching reason comes down to the US wanting to expand its economic, geopolitical and ideological influence in Latin America, as it has done over the past centuries within its monroe doctrine framework

"If you begin with the belief that unhoused people are children of God who have faced situations outside of their control and are excluded from resources that would empower them, your response will be one that emphasizes solutions that actually prevent and end homelessness."

These bumbling idiots can’t even control the pawns they want to use

OK, which labeler is it that has the "Bluesky Elder" label again?

there are a lot of annoying social media tics, such as Not Understanding Jokes, but I think getting extremely mad about someone explaining facts is one of the most ridiculous I read the original thread and it did not even occur to me as something someone could get mad about

Great summary of research. Remarkable benefits to adult vaccines.

Donald Trump claimed on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez had been sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would cooperate with Washington in allowing the U.S. to run the country. Less than 2 hours later, that narrative collapsed.

Good

Less than 24 hours and it looks like little Marco isn't going to be running Venezuela.

It’s hard to put into words what kind of Pandora’s box this may all become. Living in a decade of unprecedented times

Murdered. There was no declaration of war, no pretext, no remotely legitimate process. These people, like the fishermen previously targeted by this lawless regime, were murdered.

Most US presidents want only good wars, so when institutions sell them on wars they (mis)represent the war as good. Donald Trump wants only stupid and evil wars, so viziers sell him on wars by pretending they’re the kind of stupid and evil he likes.

Admittedly, it is about oil in *Trump's* dementia-ridden noggin. But that's a mix of his insane fantasies, and what his lunatic advisors have told him so that grandpa gives them the keys to the US war machine and they can kill some ppl just for the heck of it. It's a war for shitposting clout.

It’s sobering to look back on the run-up to the Iraq war—a period of unceasing chattering-class debate, elaborate official lies, media complicity, unavailing global protest, in the end a giant stitch-up—and have it seem like some sort of paradise of public deliberation compared to these gangsters.

I was a teenager taking introduction to international politics during the invasion of Iraq and I am so deeply sad about the series of events that have led to me getting ready to teach introduction to international politics to a bunch of teenagers during the invasion of Venezuela

I was already like this beforehand, tbh, but yeah for a lot of people it's absolutely been a problem... sometimes I kind of want to break the habit, but it's difficult when that's just how society is now:

Like, seriously. I didn't really realize it until I started really getting into @thatskygame.bsky.social and chatting more with the Arab players there a year or so ago, but it's a definite thing.

“Maduro was bad.“ Sure. Saddam and Gaddafi were butchers, and our actions were much more cloaked in legality. How did those wars turn out?

and DSA IC absolutely says a ton of stupid shit, too lol

yeah the DSA IC doesn’t look so batshit insane now that Venezuela has been couped and we’re watching the president debate how he will pillage the corpse while openly vocalizing Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico as next
