With the news that Gov Jared Polis of Colorado just granted clemency to Tina Peters, justice has been once again perverted, and this time by a DEMOCRAT desperate for Donald Trumps adoration. Congrats Jared Polis. I bet you get invited to the WH now

Will daddy Trump be nice to him now? Gonna go out on a limb and guess that Polis/Colorado got nothing in return for this! 🤡

Put inflation on the blockchain. by Andrew Yang

Imagine being so broke that a tax on second homes drives you out of NYC. Like, are you mega rich or not? This new crop of rich New Yorkers is soft. They wanna eat Grey Poupon from the back seat of the Bentley, but the spoon is in an over-sized, Costco tub of mustard? Just move to Arkansas already.

@miniver.bsky.social serendipity

It's hard to retain employees at a workplace that expects to get dismantled. Scientists are already leaving NCAR, the federal weather lab in Boulder. @spencersoicher.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social:

@jamellebouie.net don’t know if you’re still working through your rewatch of The Wire. But today’s Odd Lots podcast is a great companion / “how’s Bmore now?” piece! (I’m almost done w my rewatch, which you inspired) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

You guys: Ashley Padilla. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Co...

I love this dumb show. Also: Ashley Padilla. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GKh...

@volts.wtf My wife asked me earlier how I found that positive thinking podcast I recommended. But just now she said: “ that’s a limiting belief!” In response to me not wanting to do as she asked about something!🤦🏼 Followed by: “ sure was a beautiful gift that Dave Roberts gave us!”

i believe this is related to the rise in people who are utterly incurious about anything not directly beneficial to themselves

@erikahall.bsky.social I just read that KQED piece about the Taco Bell you shared in the Mule email. Sounds great. But don't you wish it was still that 70s A&W? THAT would be incredible. Maybe I just have more nostalgia about A&W than Taco Bell.

Between the cake horse article and this unhinged ad for alka-seltzer, I got my moneys worth from my @theonion.com subscription this morning!

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I’m watching The Wire and just saw @audacityofdespair.bsky.social shooting photos at the Sobotka perp walk. The man is everywhere.

Same!

The Pitt has a chance to do the funniest thing this week!

Saw a few people share this. It’s very good. worksinprogress.co/issue/why-ja...

@volts.wtf this guy seems to be spot on. If you agree, I’d love to hear your thoughts on why Republican is the default in the US and what would have to happen to break that cycle. Feels like a great topic for a volts mega thread. www.instagram.com/reel/DXE2ntd...

EVs are winning. They're obviously going to win. The US is punching itself in the dick by clinging to ICE vehicles.

This was a fascinating conversation about all kinds of new tech!

@niedermeyer.online as the resident Musk expert, can you tell me if he’s been cheering on the Artemis mission as you would expect from a normal person with huge space ambitions? Or is he being Elon?

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

Amazing little video of Woodcocks. @darthbluesky.bsky.social thought you should know they're nicknamed TIMBERDOODLES! www.nytimes.com/video/nyregi...

Checking in on Pam Bondi:

Die Another Day Bond girl Bondi thought that AGs were forever, but those Epstein pics of Dr. Donald with pussy galore were supposed to be for her eyes only. Could this thin thunderball land another gig on his majesty's secret service? Never say never. by Maureen Dowd

Do I have to learn who Hasan Piker is?

Record breaking high temperatures and very little snow has given us the lowest snowpack on record in the Colorado mountains. Much of the western U.S. will likely be in severe drought this year.

Heather Cox Richardson has a larger audience than almost any dudefluencer. More informed. Better values & policy preferences. And yet there are no profiles, no elevation or lionization, because there's *nothing* US media is less interested in than middle-aged lib women. No diner interviews for them.

Powerful photo from a #nokings protest! Little Liam and Ruby Bridges. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pro...

@volts.wtf watching your convo with Krugman and I have to say... the BLAH BLAH BLAH poster behind you cracked me up.

Claude read everything these people have said in the last year and rank on ability to speak like a human being.

my working assumption is that Trump is mad at Reuters

They make that in about 16 hours! (Average revenue per hour ≈ 22.9 million dollars)

So does this argument also apply to tax returns (OK so long as postmarked by April 15), court documents, etc.? Or do we have one standard for ballots, and another for all other government-recognized documents?

NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters. Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social did you see this? I don’t think anybody thought that that was sarcastic. They really did everything they could to hide the truly ironic part of that mumbling commentary. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/u...

Cats in China living in the future while humans in the US bring back measles!

@beckyhammer.bsky.social this you? 😜 so fun. youtu.be/QYk22LCD5qE?...

This is really incredible. A comic about being jailed in Myanmar as an American journalist. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Oh come on! The Pitt did not need to go to Brown Town!

In which Mike takes me back 45 years to vividly remember how much I valued a quarter. There was something special about the size and shape of a shiny new quarter, but mostly I valued its potential. I unfortunately didn't get into comics, but played the shit out of some Galaga with my quarters.

Encore, s’il vous plaît.

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today. You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: [email protected]
