Hooray, hooray it’s the First of May Outdoor screwing starts today!

Dear Technologists: You are failing at the primary mission of making things easier. Stop it.

SCOTUS in a 6-3 ruling on Louisiana V Callais, just killed a majority Black district in Louisiana. All 6 Republican leaning Justices, Led by Justice Samuel Alito — So please 🙏🏼 Vote! Vote in numbers that can’t be disputed and preferably for candidates that support expanding the Supreme Court.

Oh, wow, this is definitely how the government investigates a very unexpected serious & real crime that was really committed, seriously, whose details totally matter, so we basically HAVE to give Trump $400 million & shut down the Democratic Party forever about it, that’s just the law, you guys.

These two editorials by the Washington Post expose how the Republican Party and Democratic Party are held to completely different standards by the media. Texas gerrymander: “Not a threat to democracy.” Virginia gerrymander: “Power grab by Democrats.”

This is Nelson. Golden boy at the golden hour.

Happy Rex Manning Day to those who celebrate.

It was less "teleport," and more "came to."

Dementia. That’s right, you know who I’m talking about.

Can I brag a little? I slept all night last night, from 11:30 thru to 6 am without getting up once. Yay!

Go figure.

Happy Vernal Equinox. We knew Vernal when he was a little kid, but never figured he'd amount to anything. youtu.be/lSoCT4IHpsE?...

When people show you who they are, believe them.

Sitting thru yet another rah-rah presentation for CoPilot. They’re actually cheering for the death of expertise. It’s stupid and short sighted. Ugh.

A quick reminder that governance by Tech Bro is destined to fail.

… because the operations in Iraq, Syria and Libya were so successful.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

A powerful speech by Germany’s Green Party EU member Terry Reintke on the state of rule of law in the US. It embodies the shock over democratic backsliding, political extremism & threats to civil liberties in the US. Europe remembers as it observes from afar. Via @theobserverdiplomatmag #Pinks

Dear online shop owners.: Stop forcing me to create an account. I just want some damn Kung Pao Chicken and Spring Rolls. I will spend half the time it takes to create an account to find another local joint that allows me to “Checkout as Guest.”

But - and stay with me here - what if it's a red herring to bring the gunboats back from the middle east? A way to deescalate with Iran via a ghost in the Caribbean?

Nothing he said last night matters. He took the strongest post-Covid economy in the entire industrialized world and singlehandedly fucked it up. He put lawless, masked federal thugs on our streets to terrorize immigrants & citizens. Nothing he said last night matters.

Watching “Hitch” again. Very entertaining. Kevin James is wonderful in this movie.

We need a common theme when confronting ICE, across the nation. We have enough amps, we have the speakers. There should be a portable PA in every city where ICE is active and when you arrive where ICE are active you play Body Count by Body Count at volume. I feel like @iceT would be ok with this.

For Fuck's Sake, Congress. You control the power of the purse. Now would be a great time to show up with a spine.

*sigh*. One more time for the people in the cheap seats: weather and climate are not the same thing.

Watching the Jack Smith deposition and it’s embarrassing to watch the Rep congress critters fellate DJT, one after the other. Not unexpected but so, so embarrassing.

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

MN is like Ukraine in that, if the aggressor just stops and goes home, the chaos and violence stops.

Just sayin’ www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

Who could have seen this coming? Who, I ask?

Because the world is shite right now, take a few minutes and indulge.

My question is: what happens with China when Venezuelan oil stops flowing for them? Who stands to gain from turning the oil spigot off in Venezuela?

The polite way to say “I told you so” is “This was among the outcomes identified at the outset.”

The US right now.

Turns out we have died. And this is Hell.

Well, yes. But sometimes a good movie is just that. Maybe just go to the movie, buy some popcorn, check out and enjoy the story.

Ready to go! The Grin, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard, mocking grin design 3-D lasered by @gbwells.bsky.social @Fender Tex-Mex pups (moderate/vintage), 6-saddle bridge, CTS pots, tropical fish cap. Hit us up for pricing. C’mon, treat yourself!

I think I’m going to watch An American President, a fabulous film directed by Rob Reiner, tonight at nine for no particular reason.

11. These go to 11.

Dox these assholes.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?

This is piracy.

‘Tis the season to be smiting Fa a la la laaaa, la laaa l a laaaa…

I think I’m going to spend the next few days watching Bulworth and Wag the Dog, just so I’ll be ready for whatever political shenanigans come up.
