What scares me is the number of people just not paying attention. 😬

This is one of those things where, if you said after the first (couple) strikes on Venezuelan boats that they were laying the groundwork for killing people on US soil, you sound crazy. Hysterical.

And then.... When it actually does happen on US soil, it's nearly normalized.

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

The problem (at least in IL) is not that we have a feckless governor or mayor unwilling "to stand up to Trump." The problem is that over 80 years+ we the people have ceded vast powers to the Fed govt for good and necessary reasons and then, last November, we gave all those powers to Donald Trump.

Watch MTG become the first female president by running on Medicare for all.

👀 Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with Republicans on Obamacare funding, saying she’s not a fan of the law but demands action to prevent a premium hike. “I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year.” She says GOP leaders don’t have a plan.

Also yes I'm prepping for trial but I caught the second half 😂😩

If we're a serious team I feel like some single game performances have to be fireable offenses. We almost got our best in the nation punter killed

I'm in trial prep today so I can't watch the MSU game. So looking at the score, what the fuck?

I know the surveillance and privacy aspects are terrible, but gotta admit that's kind of cool.

From Reddit, apparently Google Home users can use Gemini on their Nest cams and get daily LLM briefings on what went on in front of their house that day.

The military speeches today are really bad and dangerous. They are not what people interested in contesting elections would sound like.

You can say I’m being a hothead if you like.

The frustrating thing is sounding like a raving lunatic in august-november 2024, only for all of it and worse to happen now. Nobody telling me I'm hysterical is apologizing now, and yet they also aren't listening when I say it's going to get so much worse.

Quinta Jurecic @qjurecic.bsky.social · 9d

this is more or less what I expected

Plus, what does it accomplish for the public? The justices enabling the destruction of the government aren't one good scold away from seeing the light.

Andrew K. Gardner @akgardner.com · 10d

You'd also never get hired again, I'm sure. 😬

Andrew K. Gardner @akgardner.com · 11d

Agreed, if we weren't playing at 2 am eastern time we'd have won.

Also USC just lost because they did that and then had a noon eastern kick the following week. Absurd.

Andrew K. Gardner @akgardner.com · 11d

I like to think USC and Illinois are good. Right? 😬

I was excited for this but I wish the pebble were a little less tech looking and a little more like a real watch. More like the pebble round than the OG pebble.
