How typical. People always have to parade their token "best sturgeon friend" for social media cred.
doktorzoom.bsky.social
But it's probably some kind of kink-shaming. We'll be hearing from sturgeon fetishists.

Or fans of the great science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon, also know for Sturgeon's Law: "90 percent of anything is crap."

From his reply to a friend who supposedly said "Ted, 90% of this SF stuff is crap"

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

It's another case of the Trump administration pretending it did something that was already planned. The agreement to use Mountain Home AFB in Idaho goes back to 2022; the F-15 sale was made in 2017 under Trump I.

Also that time Alex Jones lied that a yogurt company in Twin Falls was "Caught Importing Migrant Rapists," and had to apologize. (It was awful: 3 young kids from refugee families assaulted a little girl. Rightwing media pretended it was a gang of adult Syrian men)

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

"Again: there’s no actual 'antifa terrorism.' But simply designating groups as 'criminal' opens very boring political funding groups to invasive investigative fuckery in the name of fighting 'terrorism'”
Trump Held 'Antifa' Roundtable To Protect America From Dancing Unicorns
Oppose Trump, you're a terrorist, basically.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators

Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

the Nobel Peace Prize committee going “yeah we felt like recognizing opposition leaders who resist authoritarianism was important right now for whatever reason” somehow feels like Trump won -1 Nobel Peace Prizes

like he somehow has one even less than he did before, despite never having had one

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
