I never noticed before, but:
a) there really is a lot of cowbell in some banging 80’s music
b) the best of 80’s music stands up as some of the best popular music
so I’m pretty sure the syllogism closes with
c) Christopher Walken’s character is just right about this.

Okay, Facebook did the Facebook thing of showing me a post that inspired my thoughts and then made it disappear into the ether by the time I thought of what I wanted to say.

It seems to me that the administration wants to be able to declare asap a benchmark number of deportations, and it’s telling that to do so, legal immigration statuses (humanitarian parole, e.g.) are being terminated to make people who “came in the right way” deportable.

It seems like Trump wants to bully Canada into becoming a state. As people suggest, it would most likely electorally become another California.
Which would elect a Democratic President and possibly flip the House.
A rational (but unrealistic) approach would be for Canada to reach out to Dems 1/2

I go on about the Repair Shop — the emotions are so raw and pure and honest. In the one I just saw, Suzie is just fearless in showing her emotion and her brother comforts her and it’s the sweetest thing I’ve experienced in a week.

Poli sci research isn't surprised by Trump siding with Putin's Russia.
As @profsaunders.bsky.social explains in @goodauth.bsky.social, national leaders matter a lot when it comes to foreign policy, and things like flattery and transactional deals rarely if ever change a leaders' core beliefs.

Trump’s verbal attack on Zelenskyy was shocking – and predictable
In bullying Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, Trump showed his core beliefs.

I understand but do not approve of the politicians swiftly displaying their loyalties by saying the Friday debacle went this way or that way.
I wish I could hear a relatively disinterested diplomat’s perspective. What was this public event supposed to achieve? Why was Vance there? How bad is it?

If I were Bill Gates, I would not be happy with NYT Sunday Business front page.
Below a big picture of him, with the text “Bill Gates isn’t like those other tech billionaires,” is the headline, referring to a -different- person,
“He’s replacing humans with A.I., and bragging about it.”

I wish that there were more “cancellation” of untrustworthy people. I’m thinking of the news media, but it’s a personal norm too. If a politician or official makes up things, speculates without evidence - I’m thinking of the plane crash, but it’s broadly applicable - then their words aren’t news.1/2

Hey, Richmond? We had a tough few days, and not having water sucked. But when it -was- repaired, the reservoir filled up pretty quick, because we did our job and didn’t fill the bathtub as soon as we could. Publix wasn’t price gouging - they were getting all the water they had into people’s hands.1/

I want to believe that Trump’s team of friends, family, and advisors would provide appropriate responses and support if he had a serious health emergency, like a stroke or other quick-response-necessary event.
But I don’t have that belief. I think he’s surrounded by people who will only defer.
