Look on the bright side — if he’s here then he’s not in Florida raping children.

In fact Democrats look to be on track for one of their biggest over performances of the last year in the seat anchored in Allegheny County, as the count there nears its end.

I was about to apologise for being so late with this fact…but then realised it’s 1.20am at night here and I’m still working…so…you’re welcome!😂🥱🐝 #bees

So Pete Hogsex wants to run wars on full automatic using AI software with no human oversight or control or the ability to shut it down. As if nuclear warfare isn't dystopian and existential itself, now he wants to take the nuclear launch codes out of human hands and given to a computer chip. WTF?!

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

So let’s get this straight. Anthropic “refuses to allow its products to be used for mass domestic surveillance…or in physical attacks where AI makes targeting decisions without human input” but Hegseth wants to use it in that way. Idiocy has no bounds. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Anthropic CEO’s response sure makes it sound like they’re being explicitly pressured for to have the US military do mass surveillance in the US

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. The state of Trump's union. [@itep.org]

Now make Jeffries the speaker

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.

60% of Republicans say their side in politics has been winning more often than losing on the issues that matter to them. 88% of Democrats say their side has been losing more than winning. It's the widest partisan gap in a decade of @pewresearch.org surveys.

Why can't 'smart glasses' just be banned as an invasion of privacy?

The bombshell report alleges that the DOJ withheld dozens of documents from the Epstein files that may pertain to a woman who accused Trump and Epstein of sexually abusing her when she was a minor.

there's a thought exercise - [blpppblpppblppppppblpppppppppp]

He’s going to announce Iran strikes during SOTU, isn’t he

After our walk, me and Mom played hide and seek in the snow. It was fun 😀 #Spike #Snowday #Tuesday #Dogsofbluesky

"Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this."

Oh Blue Bunny, we need to get you a home now! None of this is your fault and you shouldn’t be where you are. Help Blue Bunny!!

Those neglected places – harsh, bosky and blurred by the speed they are rushed passed – are adored by the witch. For those places sing fierce songs. These are our thorn temples. Their spirits scratch the sky, tithe blood and offer wonders. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

"When we deal with Russia, we face the second type of threat. It is a mentally unstable dictatorship that cannot accept that in Europe every life matters, human rights are important, and nations can be protected whether they are big or small." #StandWithUkraine #3E

One of the things I love about Gen Z is how they take all the little millennial snark sayings seriously. We said “hang it in the louvre” for two decades and they said “bet”

I'm not saying they're related but....

A thing to keep in mind in the Netflix vs. Paramount bidding war for Warner Bros. Netflix does not propose to absorb CNN, TNT, TBS. It would spin them off in a new company like Comcast did with MSNBC. Whereas the Ellisons want to show Trump they can bring CNN to heel, as they have with CBS. Clear?

I've got a new survey out today (part of private polling consulting work I do) that finds Trump's deportation agenda is eroding support for the GOP, and voters want the president to prioritize economics over deportations. W/ direct data on Trump defectors: morrispredictive.com/assets/surve...

So, just thought I would try this AI thing, and I am interacting with @google gemini. I asked it to do something banal, like make an image of Donald Trump surfing. It refused. I had no idea how scared these companies really are.

These are hover flies, tiny, non-stinging bee mimics. Their flight pattern is a hover and easy to ID. Getting a photo, harder, they’re quick. Hover flies are the 2nd most mighty voracious aphid eaters, also far-out eating lady bugs! Plant bachelor buttons and yarrow, they will come. 🌱

Here’s a mature green lacewing, the lion of aphid eaters. Know the insects in your garden. Even the “bad” bugs that kill your plants are critical food for your “good” or “beneficial” bugs like these. Grow a balanced ecosystem. 🌱🧵…

More wonder garden 🌱 updates: I always thought of parsley as an annual, but with the mostly mild weather we've had the last two months the parsley is overwintering ridiculously well. How long can I keep just cutting and using this stuff (please say "forever"🙏😂)?

You can almost see why private equity/private credit was so anxious to expand their investor base — to your 401(k). #$OWL
