Pinned
Pinned thread with various creative works I want to be able to find later. First, Adam the Golem, the story of the golem of Prague set to a possibly familiar tune: bsky.app/profile/toms...
Adam the Golem was a calm, reflective soul
With his chiseled jaw
And his sculpted abs
And two eyes made out of coal.

Adam the Golem was a fairytale they say.
He was made of clay
But the rabbis say
That he came to life one day.

Really wish I’d figured out a plot to go with my setting back in β€˜06 bsky.app/profile/toms...
I had a vague idea for a science fiction setting like a decade or two ago where ai had been invented but it turned out that ais were all really dumb socially and fell for scams all the time. Too bad I never put any effort into developing it and coming up with a plot.

PASSED: the House just passed the resolution to end Trump's tariffs on Canada.

Not many crosses from Republicans, a lot of vulnerable incumbents took a dumb vote here to stick with Trump and GOP leadership. Goes to the Senate, which is likely to pass it.

Will share the vote sheet when I have it!

February 11, 2026 at 9:53 PM
though mainly what you need the wealth for is to be able to afford to move to another home later

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

There's 17 republicans running and only three Dems, including the 2024 nominee Shawn Harris - since its a jungle primary with only the top two candidates advancing to the runoff, there's a very funny/unlikely world where the GOP vote is so diluted that both Dems make it.

β€˜Blood in the water.’ Why Republicans fear an upset in MTG’s backyard.
A 21-person race to succeed Marjorie Taylor in Congress has Georgia Republicans on edge, worried the crowded field could benefit Democrats.
