@joshuaerlich.bsky.social Nancy pelosi is retiring in 2 hours. Get the champagne. We don’t have to Feinstein it.

Miss Rachel is on the right side of history.

My brother worked for NASA during the entire Apollo program. I have often thought exactly what you've said. The anti-intellectualism and anti-achievement bias of today's culture is so depressing for those of us who remember.

Remember. You can always just put it in the group chat.😬

kakistocracy noun government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state. kleptocracy noun a society or system ruled by people who use their power to steal their country's resources. Klepkaktocracy noun the turducken of stupidity and greed that is the Trump administration.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

#GVerse #BreakingNews: In an absolutely shocking moment, ICE Director Tom Homan suggests he will start ARRESTING Democratic mayors and governors of sanctuary cities: “wait to see what's coming.” This is absolutely terrifying.

This is, to put mildly, a spine-chilling rationalization that is unacceptable and will lead to unfathomable abuses and tragedies. People need to stand up this bullshit and make it clear that we will not go down this road willingly.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

You can't file a habeas petition from a gulag.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I have confirmed this story. Honor Dustin West's name. He showed the courage to which we all have to aspire.

Fox News cut away from the hearing just before Crow called for Hegseth's resignation

Wow -- Fox News abruptly cuts away from the hearing right as Crow is castigating administration officials for not taking responsibility for their failures

This is the face of a dude who is one mistrusted fart away from shitting his pants.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

@drivetosurvive.bsky.social start of next season is gonna be bananas and lap 3 isn’t even done yet.

@daviddark.bsky.social serious Q and convo topic: how do we reconcile the clearly valid and poignant Paradox of Tolerance with building better bridges (IE the RSE* social movement) I am strongly in the extending an open hand camp, but I draw the line at normalizing hate and proponents of it.

@daviddark.bsky.social there’s so many ways to love God. In some ways this could be a start to a soft robot exorcism in some ways, with some people.

So many have not learned them at all.

IF YOU BELIEVE THE MANY SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THE FEW, this is your time. As a decentralized platform, @bsky.app is probably the last, best chance for this to happen This has nothing to do with me. I'm just stating the obvious. It has everything to do with what the 1.2m @bsky.app users do.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

@hrag.design wait you were the bassist of strata (cocaine we’re all going to hell) and you work at scout motors?!?!

@daviddark.bsky.social got the latest substack email. Reminded me to ask how’s the U2 book coming?

@daviddark.bsky.social been too long. Stopped using X when it became X. Forgot this might be where you too may echo in digital. How are you doing? Since Tuesday I’ve been wondering how you feel about… gestures broadly… I’m scared.
