@mcuban.bsky.social, while familiar with your "AI" enthusiasm, my experience as a septuagenarian well-retired engineer makes clear that any upsides to it will be only temporary. This is but the latest in a long line of technologies that displace/replace human labor. There's often been something that

‪Sal Santamaura‬ ‪@salsantamaura.bsky.social‬· 2mo Replied to jamelle bouie I got a chuckle from the manufacturer's marketing site showing its Instax-eating TLR sitting on a Rollei tripod. Nothing like subtly implying your little instant camera swims with the big fishes. 😊

The price of speaking truth: matthewdowd.substack.com/p/a-time-to-... It's unfortunate he must use a Nazi-platforming venue to relate what happened.

😳😮😲. As the Joe Turns

It goes without saying that those who voted for Trump deserve all the shit they are getting--no sympathy whatsoever. Close behind are Harris voters who couldn't be bothered to vote. To hell with them. Third are journalists who sanewashed and bothsidesed him. They disgust me.

@aoc.bsky.social I don't always agree with JVL, but he's totally correct about this. Suggest collaborating with him and the Bulwark as things progress. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

I follow 54 people here, almost all public figures. Since Wednesday, traffic, including posting by all but a handful of them, replies to them and likes of their posts, as well as likes/replies to my comments/replies, have fallen off dramatically. All I can surmise is that many gave up it up for Lent

My country, the US, is worthless to the free world. Europe must eject the US from NATO and immediately admit Ukraine to the EU and NATO. Then send troops to defeat Russia and its ally, the US.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social I see you follow and have reposted something from Joey Scars (Joe Scarborough). He's such a wimp his Bluesky settings don't even permit replies. Whenever encountering MAGAts or MAGAts-in-effect like him, I block them, replying to a post "Sayonara." That's this post.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social This is a perfect response. Please consider actually using Mr. Brock's draft and sending it to deplorable Martin Jr. From a retired decades-long commuter to employment in your district, thank you for listening and all you do.

A small bit of good news in the current sea of disaster stories. Michigan's Supreme Court will become even more decent after Governor Whitmer names Clement's replacement: www.yahoo.com/news/michiga...

As a US follower of things UK, up till now I've not been too impressed by Starmer's handling of the mess Tories left him. That changed today: www.bbc.com/news/article... If only the people of Europe step up to support him and other EU/NATO leaders take my advice: bsky.app/profile/sals...

My two U.S. Senators #@schiff.senate.gov and #@padilla.senate.gov this means you!

As a Californian for the last 47 years of my seven plus decades, I'm occasionally tempted to leave for less populated places. Now, with FFOTUS the DIC's American carnage under way, I'd only consider an alternative like Massachusetts. Both states will pick up the slack in residents' public health.

Why would they scrutinize it? They have no objections to its contents. Just as they have no objections to Hegseth's deplorable history and misogyny. That's why they'll vote to confirm. They've been thoroughly dominated by FFOTUS the DIC (First Felon of the United States the Deplorable-in-Chief).

One week of American carnage down, with 207 weeks left to endure. Stay strong and resolute in opposition.

@mcuban.bsky.social In this one you said you don't want to run for POTUS bsky.app/profile/mcub... but you youngest will be more than old enough in four years and we need your rational leadership. I propose a Cuban/Budde ticket. What say you? 🙂

FFOTUS the DIC has cancelled national treasure Dr. Fauci's security detail. Death threats incited by the DIC do require substantial, expensive security. Hoping for a crowdfunding campaign to pay for it so he's not burdened even more for saving tens of millions of lives. apnews.com/article/fauc...

FFOTUS the DIC is too stupid to understand that MSNBC is not a broadcast station and neither has nor requires a license to disseminate its programming. Sad. www.yahoo.com/news/now-tru...

#[email protected] I hope you don't mind that I'm incorporating your FFOTUS into my new appellation for him. I am now using "FFOTUS the DIC." That is, First Felon of the United States the Deplorable-in-Chief. 🙂

Please Lord our God do not send us another pandemic.

Climate-denying right wingers are railing about the Moss Landing fire www.npr.org/2025/01/17/g... while ignoring the reality of human-caused global warming (AGW). The appropriate reaction would be to demand utility storage use LFP, not Lithium Ion, batteries, thereby mitigating fire risk.

The debate Tim and I did with the folks over at Reason is live. Let us know what you think! youtu.be/kNwcQv4KjS8
