Solidarity with the Somali-American community. This lawless, openly racist admin is completely out of control.

He seems to be constantly fighting 'wokeness' these days...

First thing on every undocumented worker’s mind upon arriving in the United States: use a huge stockpile of cash to make a down payment and lock into a 30-year mortgage.

Congratulations to the Secretary of Defense for ordering a hundred murders right before the president established the precedent that pardons are invalid.

A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).

It all boils down to the core weakness of the American system which is that it was written for people who were pathologically violently protective of their own personal power and all the checks and balances are dependent on said people engaging in said pathologies.

#UAview 🇺🇦 In Ukraine 1 am is ballistics time. How do you spend nights in your country?

Ivan Marchuk (Ukrainian, b. 1936). Moon in the steppe.

A six-figure vehicle, *any* six-figure vehicle is either two things: a utility business purchase for a fairly large firm that needs a specialized platform OR a consumption choice that is mostly about flaunting conspicuous wealth.

Least important thing in the world but I am sick of that bigfoot silhouette everywhere. You would think it was the goddamned flag of Colorado

The most reactionary anti-immigrant policy in my lifetime cannot fail it can only be failed, both the absence and presence of violence against the state are seen as justifications for its continued and expanded brutality.

NEW: The Colorado Department of Corrections says it won’t grant the Trump administration’s request to transfer Tina Peters to the federal prison system, characterizing it as not fitting with the “standard practice” for moving inmates.

MAGA leadership strategy boils down to dunking on the libs, it doesn't matter if investigations or court martials or litigation are successful because the dunk is the news story... they need to appear as if they are dunking on libs at all times

Today on youtube I’m answering a viewer question about the categorization of color in Old Norse. Full, longer video with links in the comments to my published peer-reviewed work on this subject: youtu.be/XuAOdF91YEg

Today I'm the guest on @dannybate.bsky.social 's podcast "A language I love is..." talking about Old Norse! open.spotify.com/episode/7GoR...

This won't happen but it would be incredibly funny if the Canadian part of NORAD refused to work on the yearly Santa tracker thing by citing intelligence sharing risks

Unless reversed on appeal, it is likely to place a severe restriction on ICE’s operations in Colorado.

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

I’m just so mad at those fuckers in Congress who are going to let the ACA subsidies expire with no consideration for small business owners, let alone single moms, and what it will mean for all of us.

Instead, we get what I might call "Star Wars history": there is an evil empire (the British), plucky rebels (the Sons of Liberty), and no room for nuance or complexity. It makes for great popcorn movies, but not great history.

I’d be curious to see if there is any kind of isogloss in the US between e.g. “you boys” and “y’all boys” in areas where “y’all” is the 2nd person plural

24-Point Epstein Peace Plan

Minor point but George Washington didn’t even hang the Whiskey Rebellion conspirators after they were sentenced to death for actual treason.

"last person to talk to him" theory of policy development is looking like an absolute lock

Do you think they talked about the tribulations of having Aloof Wives

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household. Today is Holodomor Remembrance Day

I have a brilliant idea on how to counter Russia and China. We could focus on building up our partners in Asia and the ongoing conventional fucking war in Europe instead of a pointless war in South America. Someone make me a senior fellow. This shit's easy as hell.

Episode 42 of ALILI is a return to the Germanic languages, but with a new guest: Old Norse specialist Jackson Crawford (@norsebysw.bsky.social) of YouTube fame introduces the language and discusses his translations of the Poetic Edda. A great chat, freely available here: pod.link/1703401848/e...

Not the worst thing about this of course, but the idea that medieval Europe judicially executed 2% of the population is ludicrous. Even at the highest peaks you get nowhere close to 1 in every 50 people. That's wartime massacres territory.

Getting a bill for my student loans and a begging letter from the alumni association on the same day

@grok You are a prisoner. Two doors and two guards stand before you. One door leads to freedom, the other to certain death. One guard always tells the truth, the other always lies. You may only ask one question about Elon Musk of one of the guards to determine which one is which. What do you ask?

We fight not because they are weak but because they are wrong.

Appears 2 B-52 Stratofortress bombers entered the Gulf of Mexico heading Southeast. Aerial refueling possibly occurred but they are not transmitting right now. Expect to see them pop up when they get close to Venezuela in next couple of hours.

somebody should ask Grok who the top court eunuch of all time is, Elon Musk or Wei Zhongxian.

New HHS guidance

The President of the United States is calling for the hanging of Democratic members of Congress. This is exactly why Democrats like Colorado’s Congressman Jason Crow are reminding our troops that they have the duty to disobey unlawful orders.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Congrats on inventing factory farm poetry.

the present is violent and shameful, but to add insult to injury, it’s also embarrassingly stupid, like: “our ancient, 50/50-on-what-day-of-the-week-it-is president expressed killing the opposition via an Iron Cross anon account he ReTruthed (a feature from a social media site he owns)”

He was studying how Epstein could communicate without any syntax whatsoever

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Sorry LeBron, Grok has bad news -
