Chuck, Hakeem, the United States isn’t doing anything positive right now. It’s just breaking things. So shut it down. States will do a better job. Frankly, I don’t know that I care if the federal government reopens

Irrelevant much?

I rarely ever read or watch reporting on what Trump Admin says. They’re all lying all the time. No point in paying attention

Clearly the price to stay in the US is $50,000 in unmarked bills. I wonder though if Homan would accept crypto?

Dems will announce a compromise, tell funders they’re governing responsibly, and within 6 months Trump will renege on the deal & Dems will be surprised

I’m not advocating one way or another. Bike lanes benefit local, parking, even a mere 8 spots, benefits people coming into the neighborhood. I’d be voting on who’s business I’m trying to attract, internal or external

Apparently one must be an imbecile to work at the CDC because only imbeciles would fail to promote vaccines. States need to step up…https://apnews.com/article/cdc-advisers-vaccines-hepatitis-b-covid19-a1fb61ef7e29d93d2828618d890cceb3

I still read the journalism in @thewashingtonpost.bsky.social but holy smokes are their editorials a dumpster fire intended to spread hate & ignorance

Imagine where we'd be now if Democrats hadn't pussy-footed about changing rules when Merrick Garland was up for the Court, out of some mislaid sense of avoided escalation.

Just checking in, when is Minnesota exiting the USA for Canada or the Pacific coalition again? I haven’t seen the memo yet

Does Trump realize that he’s not Palpatine? Thiel is Palpatine, Andreeson is Vader, Vance is Maul & Trump is maybe Tarken? Musk then is Thrawn?

I want to see laws & ordinances that ban the mic’s & cameras on these. Anyone recording without consent should be arrested immediately…https://apnews.com/article/meta-connect-zuckerberg-ai-smart-glasses-250fdea4b876ef79457c488a4aca2862

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

Watching Andor & I’m hoping that Disney trashes episodes 7,8&9 and completely reshoots with all new Directors, Producers & Writers

Smelled pretty bad when I walked home from Turbo Tim's this AM, visible smoke too

It’s time for States to counter that January 6ers are terrorists & treat them under state law accordingly

ABC is a trash network devoid of content except for Kimmel. Makes it tough to boycott something that I don’t use. Hope Kimmel gets a new & louder platform…https://apnews.com/article/jimmy-kimmel-show-suspended-charlie-kirk-a2bfa904429c318fe52e7d3493c6883d

Hey Minnesota, get in the game

Increasingly important that grand juries refuse to indict & juries find not guilty

Doctors & insurance companies need to ignore CDC. Insurance in particular will take financial hits if kids aren’t vaccinated

Fire trucks on Central again. Another big fire NE? @chrissteller.bsky.social hear anything?

I remember junior high planning to worship cabbage & spread that faith. Liberals don’t have to whine…liberals can preach too. Agnosticism, Bahai (spelling), Bhusism, Universalim, Atheism. Worlds is a big place if the glass is half full

Ohio education at work

If the Arab world & allies gave a fig about American militarism they’d use their money to pull the World Cup from the USA. But they don’t. It’s posturing & tacit approval…

And I’m out on Vikings game. JJ needs better protection & more coaching

Not like Vikings were using him properly. Hope Jones isn’t hurt too badly

Like @emleiker.bsky.social & @andrewkrammer.bsky.social covering Vikings tonight

Given how terrible Vikings offense is I have to applause the defense

If so I hope Kelly is ok. I also hope Vikings come out with 6 O lineman

Love these Vikings uniforms. Prefer this look

Eric Wilson peanut punches the ball out of Drake London's hands and safety Theo Jackson recovers. Two replacement defenders making a huge play. Wilson... what a signing he's been in this young season.

Good savvy punch by Wilson on that play

This morning, a Reuters rep contacted me about attending a conference in Houston. I declined, citing Trump's bullying of Canada and the citizen boycott of travel, etc. I forgot to mention ICE detention of 150 Canadians. @CharlieAngusNDP didn't forget. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-canadi...

If foreign countries would open their borders to Americans said countries would see a huge in flux of talent & wealth. Would be nice if labor markets were better aligned with capital markets

Something Democrats should have done & failed to do. They reap what they sow

Political endorsements are just weird to me. Got an email from Jacob Frey that Andy Lugar endorsed him for Mayor. I like Andy. Andy is lovely. I don’t care if Andy supports Jacob. Only thing I care about is what has Jacob done for me & my preferences. Am I alone in thinking endorsements are silly?

South Korea’s president says the country's companies will struggle to maintain direct investments in the United States unless the visa system for Korean workers is improved.

We need a velvet divorce. A negotiated settlement of separation. We are not a country

My Wife just asked me if I wanted to spend two hours on a Friday night hanging out at 50th & France. I laughed. I’ll meet her after her movie after I’ve ironed my shirts

I know federal Democrats are useless. Still, I’d love to know, if given power, whether they’re going to drop the hammer on ICE & DHS over civil rights violations & overt racism. Or is the plan to pretend this never happened?

LLMs aren’t intelligent & don’t make decisions. Rather high powered energy intensive code written by white guys who think Facebook is still about rating women on a hot scale

Wasted story, not worth reading. Who cares whether rubes think there is more poverty & homelessness. Report the data, not the ignorance…https://apnews.com/article/homelessness-poverty-trump-homeless-encampments-low-income-ce63d233c86b4a219b47ee8403b5f2ca

Vikings dropping balls, probably needed to play a little in pre season to get physical

Vikings gotta run patterns past the mark, not in front. TE has to be across goal line to throw that

Thank god Dallas Turner is lighting it up

Welcome to the NFL JJ

Thank you to @andrewkrammer.bsky.social for being here tonight for the game

Roger Marshall is a special juxtaposition of stupidity & dishonesty

@jzulgad.bsky.social is there any info on #22? Three weeks now

Charles Kaiser has a review of a book titled The Mission. Skip the review unless you want to learn how much contempt Kaiser has for the New York Times
