(solemnly) You've had mail.

As an IT Professional, I know how devastating this will be. Many don't realize how many H1B visa holders work on IT infrastructure and you cannot replace these folks at the drop of a hat.

Disney+ and Hulu cancelled here (as is Paramount even though it's provided by a 3rd party free - yes I cancelled a FREE service over this BS).

No, we aren’t wandering around the Marriott with a few thousand of our closest friends. Sadly. We aren’t wandering around, however, getting ready for #DragonCon2026. And we restocked the web store with more merchandise. Get your membership and some swag before prices go up… bit.ly/NextYearsBadge

All of this. It's absurdly expensive and all of the infrastructure and people are ALREADY THERE.

This is the way

And now, if you're in FL and are angry about your wasted tax money, VOTE THEM OUT next election.

Let me qualify what Josh is saying. It is quite clear that the Constitution requires a census of all persons. It’s quite clear that past Supreme Court cases support this proposition. (For instance, the recent census question case makes no sense if persons doesn’t include immigrants.) /1

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.” I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion. Part I

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

I don't have much of a following - but everyone please spread the following WIDE. Stay weather aware. NWS Alerts should be followed but ALSO make sure you are up to date as possible with radar. Weatherwise for web is COMPLETELY Free. web.weatherwise.app

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

This says everything about where we are as a nation.

I assure you, none of them are mine.

Fucking WHAT?! Any doctor - ANY DOCTOR - that refuses to treat someone should be reported to the Medical Board and their right to practice medicine removed. This flies in the face of everything Physicians stand for in the Hippocratic Oath. Period. If you cannot do that, don't go into healthcare.

I'm not sure which thought is funnier. That whoever chose the song didn't know or that they did.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Are they going to stack them like cordwood? At its peak Gitmo housed < 700 prisoners according to my (admittedly) cursory search. There's NO WAY they added 10x the capacity in 5 months.

This is partly why Rs win and Ds lose. Rs latch on to everything that can be remotely twisted into a win for them and Ds won't even take an OBVIOUS rift and shine a light as they snipe at each other and expose the corruption. F that noise. Shine a light AND KILL THE TERRIBLE BILLS. DO BOTH.

I... have to give props to Merz here to quietly give a correction, admonishment and WHY he wants to support Ukraine. But I can't even....

A few D's should take notes.

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.

This is beyond the pale. She and her ilk don't give a flying fuck about you and yours in this life. She and those like her shouldn't be anywhere near public office. Vote them out and vote in someone who cares about you in THIS LIFE.

More of this please. Don't let Lindsey become a "new" Strom Thurmond.

🔥MUST-WATCH: “Isn’t today the sabbath? Do you think members of the Texas legislature should focus on following The Ten Commandments rather than telling others to follow them?” Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social exposes the hypocrisy of TX Republicans forcing The Ten commandments into classrooms.

It's SAFE. It's EFFECTIVE. MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE THAT WANT'S IT. Because of all of this Moderna pulled their combo COVID\Flu vaccine. It's so stupid and people are going to die. There's a new variant making the rounds in China (according to reports). People WILL die because of this!

Do I buy local raw milk? Yes. Do I pasteurize it myself before consuming? ALSO YES And although I know where I'm buying it is a much smaller, cleaner operation than what is here, I also have a basic understanding that you literally can't account for everything - so pasteurize!

Recently came back through US customs after traveling abroad. While I was not stopped (I don't fit the target profile and I do have Global Entry) I had the following prepared. Am I being detained? Am I under arrest? Am I free to go? Otherwise, shut TF up and ask for a lawyer.

If this is allowed, I don't EVER want to be required to take anti-bribery\anti-corruption training again as I'm asked to do every year as a refresher to not do anything that even gives the APPEARANCE of a bribe. This should be immediate impeachment - even if the plane isn't transferred for his use.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

I was at a huge Sci fi convention and a teen was bullying another kid in a wheel chair at the front of Lou Ferigno's line. Lou reached over and grabbed that kids collar and gave him a lecture while security got there. And yes, even 10ish years ago Lou was the same size as when he was the Hulk.

MORE of this please!

Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her. tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing. 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIDAtyB...

No. You CANNOT rewrite this in months. It would take YEARS and not be as fault tolerant. Stuff that CANNOT break is still on mainframe FOR A GD REASON!

Gift article if you want to read the actual details.

Wow. While I don't know him personally, I can tell that while he's speaking clearly and calmly he is absolutely furious over this. And well he should be!

Boost. I don't travel internationally frequently any more - but ALL OF THIS. Clients balked at documentation but I INSISTED on it. The second I pulled out my folder with contract (pointing out I was there for a meeting) + hotel reservations and return flight - never a problem.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Some want to fight tooth and nail for every inch. Some want to let Musk and Trump burn it down so everyone can see them for who they are. Some are beholden to norms and decorum, afraid to deviate from the past. So afraid, they censure their own for showing a hint of defiance. ...🧵

Yep - quote posting this. Don't get your panties in a wad, I have < 200 followers and rarely post so this is unlikely to go viral - but if you review this thread, THIS is what your blue dots in Red districts are dealing with. Don't yell at Dem leadership, yell at your R MoC.

🧵 BAD DOGE: WHAT CAN I DO? Here's a letter I am sending to all of my elected representatives. Please copy as much as you like, and send it to yours, today! This link will help you find how to contact them. My letter follows in the thread below... www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

@mcuban.bsky.social This is why trusting AI results ESPECIALLY around topics you're unfamiliar with and researching is not recommended. This matches my experience reviewing AI generated responses to RFPs. Pretty prose but factually wrong a significant amount of time.

I pretty much never post here (this will literally be my second post) - just reply occasionally (sometimes snarky). I must be doing something right as I found via ClearSky that I've been included in a blocklist called "Political Toxicity Blocked" Honey, if my politics is toxic - call me belladonna.

If you can't perform a mail merge, SQL will be WAY outside your wheelhouse. Maybe AI and a YouTube How To can help here with some hints.
