Well, here we are. Proud to say I deleted my account at the other place a few years ago after it got bought. After a long hiatus, now returning to follow the news on social media again. Happy to see the kind people of Bluesky.

If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

📷 This NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope image features spiral galaxy NGC 3370, home to two kinds of objects prized by astronomers for their usefulness in determining distances to faraway galaxies: Cepheid variable stars and Type Ia supernovae 🧪🔭
esahubble.org/images/potw2... @stsci.edu
A spiral galaxy occupies most of the image. It is a slightly tilted disc of stars, yellow-white in the centre and blue in the outskirts, showing light from different stars in the galaxy. Its spiral arms curl outwards from the centre, speckled with blue star clusters. Dark reddish threads of dust swirl around the galaxy’s centre. The backdrop is four medium-sized and many small, distant galaxies on a black background.

Giridharadas to Andrew Cuomo: "It's been 8 years since the peak of the Me Too movement ... I'm wondering if you pursued any changes in yourself that would allow you to come back to City Hall and tell voters you'd be different when it comes to dealing with women?"

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them:

MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING.

This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.
