I hear the bass player from The Housemartins ended up doing okay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCDI...

it doesn't matter if she thinks he's saving the planet or destroying the country, Kara Swisher can't help but platform the most absurdly untrue bullshit about Elon Musk

After some of my family implored the DMV not to renew one 84 year old family members license, they did anyway. Dude was totally not safe on the road.

Man, I was so obsessed with this song. "What a good place to be." www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfDo...

1. Here's the tense moment when USIP outside counsel George Foote comes face-to-face with Kenneth Jackson, the Trump-installed new president of USIP, and the DOGE team. Jackson refuses to shake Foote's hand. “I’m asking the questions, not you,” Jackson says. DOGE staffers won't ID themselves.

Can we hurry up and get Russia's shadow fleet sunk? Putin shouldn't even be in a position where he can offer this.

Quelle surprise... I'm so tired.

Super glad I got hyper-fixated on peanuts last month. Ideal crop imo. Fat, protein, carbs, fixes nitrogen, and the rest of the plant can be used for livestock fodder. The *fat* part is extremely important because humans need a lot of fat compared to other primates so having a cheap source is vital

Reporter: “You said the war is "very complete." But your Defense Secretary says "this is just the beginning." So which is it” Trump: “You could say both.”

Trump just finished another ya gotta win the midterms speech to Republicans. He's getting nervous. www.c-span.org/program/whit... (cartoon from the archives)

Fun fact: "If landlords reported to credit bureaus the rent their customers paid, those unbanked/underbanked customers could develop credit profiles and begin to qualify for mortgages." vs Underbanked folks live under marginal gray market informal landlords who won't be reporting.

Great read

Describing who? “they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

TRUMP'S WAR. Damn straight. Hope it catches on.

Well, well, well. If it isn't my old friend Marty (Marta?) Morning Dove. Last year he started building a nest on my truck where the windshield meets the hood and I had to remove it every other day. Looks like even though I bought a new car he's up to his old tricks again. Good to see you, old friend

Maybe everyone knows this one already but: originally painted with one of the dress straps falling down and people freaked

a modest proposal: a select number of those convicted of lesser crimes at the Nuremberg 2.0 trials can earn a shot at redemption by surviving a deathrace-type competition using the unused fleet of ICE vehicles

Hey @brandontbishop.bsky.social thanks very much for reposting my The Dinosaurs questions. I really enjoyed the responses.

It is interesting to see platinum prices going up after lagging far behind gold for so long. It’s still half the price of gold (or less) but it has gone up significantly this year.

So: AMR, the for-profit ambulance provider, was unable to provide ambulances per contract standards. So! They get a nurse line. Most calls to the nurse line end up with an order for an AMR ambulance ride - but these nurse-ordered rides are exempt from the standard. Nifty trick (for AMR).

(3 of 3) ... with ZERO apparent paper trail on what it's being spent for. Read the understated but horrifying piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social to understand just how flagrant the opportunities for corruption, mismanagement, waste, fraud + general incompetence appear to be.

Saw a fragment of the mid Holocene fossil forest at Portreath yesterday, revealed by winter storms and low tide. Impressive piece of truck on organic-rich clay filled with sticks and seeds. Probably 4000-6000 years old. Drowned when sea level rose following the end of the last glaciation.

This is the third consecutive republican presidency that will end in absolute unmitigated economic, military, and societal disaster and scandal and Dems will win, fix things to an extent and then lose the next election 50-49 just because.

Mugshot Monday! This mug is wanted for feeling good to hold. it just feels good in your hands. One hand on the handle, and one hand cradling the bottom of the other side. Ignoring the handle entirely, and just wrapping your hands around it.

Killing children in order to use them to bait their military parents. The monstrous depravity of those involved.

Little or nothing will change. That’s the real story here.

I love that Farage made a big boast about being invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago (& a “catch up” with Trump), only to discover Trump was elsewhere! Farage didn’t even see him or stay there!🤭 So who paid for his travel to 🇺🇸? More importantly why was he even allowed to go when Parliament is in session?

Increasingly realistic fake images are creating a sense that it's impossible to figure out what's true or knowable, and thus to make decisions. As disinformation scholar Dmytro Iarovyi told me, prolonged, sustained disinfo "changes people’s capacity to participate meaningfully in democratic life."

A few weeks ago, I saw a group of people in a Facebook comments section trying to figure out if a picture of Ilhan Omar was real. (It was not.) I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I wrote about what I'm calling "strategic memes against public participation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you're into watches, shopping Nakano Road in Tokyo is a must. I've never seen so many Rolex Submariners for sale under one roof -- probably over 1,000. And check out the $400K rainbow dial Daytona. I ended up scoring a screaming deal on a barely used Sinn 104.

So Vanity Fair called me a “museum snob” for likening the new LACMA building to a “small-city airport terminal.” I stand by my reporting. 😆🤣💀⚰️

He has a theory of DEI. He just doesn’t want to say the words out loud under oath.

It's good crude, Brent

“Recent studies have shown that when satellites reach the end of their lives and burn up upon reentry, they leave behind metals like aluminum and lithium. The consequences of this are not yet known. But that's [only one thing that] concerns scientists…” www.cbc.ca/news/science...

You know, I don't think I've ever seen a pre-Money for Nothing, pre-MTV Dire Straits video. This one looks like a million bucks compared to many other promos (that looked like about $100) and it's for one of my faves.

tbh we’re gonna need a lot of dumb dumb fart hammers

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.
