Checking in on our tech overlords, one is on his way to Rome to give a series of talks about the antichrist and another has convinced himself that thinking is fake

Confiscate 99.8% of Andreesen’s net worth for the public good, wait 20 minutes, and then tell him his memory of ever having more than $4 million is false.

#Maddow Cartoon Of The Day

NEW: The WA state legislature passed the Driver Privacy Act to help regulate automated license plate readers.  While the bill is a step toward establishing needed guardrails on this surveillance technology, we know there is more work to do to protect us from surveillance disguised as public safety.

Take it from DHS

Can we do the same for the country?

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Have any elected Democrats started calling it the "SAVE Republicans" Bill yet?

He is a truly disgusting human being

Aside from everything else, Europeans have come to realise that it's impossible to make deals with Trump. You can sign a piece of paper but 3 weeks later Trump comes up with something else and something else and something else. Whatever you do, you can't win

You could in fact make that case

Trolley Problem

Having a hard time believing this ides of March story, you're telling me senators did something other than send out fundraising texts

The difference is stunning!!! Couldn’t be more obvious the PEDOstein does NOT care about our troops!

Best quote about Operation Epstein Distraction: “When you kick a hornets’ nest it’s the hornets that decide when it’s over.”

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From slyngstad )

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Professor Sir Tony Hoare. Known for the Quicksort algorithm and major contributions to programming languages, his legacy continues to shape computing. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Image: Rama, Wikimedia Commons.

The funniest shit is, that if you invert all their statements you usually get the truth like 90% of the time.

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Knicks’ Mohamed Diawara at Marcus Garvey Park after sharing iftar at Keur Yayeu Dara, a beloved Senegalese restaurant in Harlem.

Hilarious that in the same post threatening the media for spreading "hoaxes and distortions," the FCC Chair calls Trump's 1.5 percent margin in 2024 "a landslide election victory."

Re the Hormuz, not saying I'm an expert on the sitch, but are we really too proud to try historically vetted measures like sacrificing a high ranking member of the royal family to propitiate the sea god

Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame]. It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration." It's a shame this is where we are as a country.

So basically there’s no way to stop the war with Iran because the president’s word cannot be trusted further than he can be thrown, foreclosing any possibility of peace agreements which nobody but the US could guarantee. It's geometrically perfect self-fuckery.

The latest run of the European ensemble model has 500 mb heights a week from now around 5960 m over southern AZ. To give some perspective on how insane that is, that would be the orange dot on the SPC graph of Tucson historical 500 mb heights (red line is all-time highest)

The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.

This is everything

Once again—New Mexico is leading the way by protecting free and fair elections! NM becomes the first state in the nation to ban armed federal agents at the ballot box. This is how you do it! 🗳️🇺🇸💪

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

Unwritten rules, Craig. Like no quarter. No mercy. Keep up.

‪Never seen an ass on a horse before ‬

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

Quick note for evangelicals: war in the Middle East doesn't trigger the second coming. Jesus isn’t Beetlejuice.

Oh my lord. Well, I’ll just say … it doesn’t affect me personally at this point, but if it did, it wouldn’t anymore after this if you get my drift.

@murray.senate.gov thanks for *not* endorsing this.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has made a point of cracking down on the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to minors. 🔗 https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/phoenix-smoke-shops-repeatedly-busted-selling-kids-40651728/

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

JD Vance: "You would have Somali fraudsters, many of them illegal immigrants, who would go and say they had an autistic kid even though they didn't, they would collect that money for themselves, and businesses were rewarding them for fraud." (This is the new Ronald Reagan "welfare queen" story.)

which group of democratic consultant ghouls circulated data about this no tax on the middle-class coordinated policy campaign launch shit WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY. YOU HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO OTHER PEOPLE IN A SOCIETY. YOU SHOULD BE GETTING MORE FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS. losing my mind

Breathtaking, depraved cruelty.

Wow I can really see why it’s so important to stay on twitter

I know this community very well. The Shenandoah club the Temple Israel statement refers to as providing food and shelter during this attack is the club established by Iraqi Chaldeans. This is really beautiful interfaith solidarity in action.

He also said Kennedy Center ticket sales were "through the roof." If you're looking for that singular moment when he opens his mouth and doesn't lie, this isn't it.
