Heh. Back when I was still playing chess, I had a much more binary indicator: if I was tired, the thought of playing chess simply did not appeal.

@theverdict.bsky.social I'll follow any Oxford comma devotee!

Heh. Did not know that! Thanks.
Perfect symbol for how easy it is to get tossed aside like a used Kleenex, no matter how much Trump might have appreciated you just a little while earlier.

Happy birthday to us all!
wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

That old adage is one of my all-time faves.
And yes, happy birthday to us all (said the very occasional editor and token donor). Amazing that it works, amazing that it *still* works.
A shoutout has to be given to Jimmy Wales, for not trying to cash the whole thing in.

Trump Is Proving the Wacky Lefties Right
No blood for oil? Abolish ICE? What used to be far-left ideas are now just sensible responses to this administration.

This is not correct. It is Third Way who is pushing this, and they are -- by definition -- not Dems. They are giving unsolicited advice, to get attention from the media.

I think you shouldn't repeat claims that she was a sex worker. There is no evidence to support it.
Plenty of true things to say about her, and her husband.

A little bit of dish
I was wondering why I haven't seen Pam Bondi on the TV (i.e., @atrupar.com's clips) lately. Could it be that she has fallen out of favor with Dear Leader?

Thank you for saying so. Haidt has pinned my BS meter from the first time I saw him on Bloggingheads, and it makes me crazy that he's still looked up to by so many.
