It looks like the keystone cops may have tanked the State's case against Mangione.

I'm not big on "frontier justice" (though I do not lose sleep over another dead CEO) but we have laws, and you don't get to ignore those laws because suddenly they become inconvenient.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I absolutely cannot get "Hear My Hope" out of my head. It's been living there so rent-free, I woke up through the night with it still floating about in my brain.

AI is DECIMATING trades you take for granted until they're ruined by reckless slop.

Airport announcements? Somebody voices that.

Medical diagram your dentist shows you? Somebody drew that.

Your customer support ticket? Somebody answered that.

College textbooks? Somebody wrote that.
I made $125K in 2022, mostly due to Political work. I might not break $30K this year. And yet I was a finalist for Voice Actor of the Year from the Reed Awards for the best in Political. I'm a master of my craft, at the top of my game.

My profession is DYING. I'm looking for a side hustle.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

NGL, whenever I see people organizing their bookshelves by the color of the book cover, all I can think of is "who hurt you?!"

The only correct organization is by ANY classification system but Dewey (who was racist). Mine is Library of Congress.

jfc, Americans do not take an oath. God damn it. We're in the stupidest timeline.

The pledge is an idiotic late addition to the ritualization of America. It means nothing. I stopped saying it in school when I realized it was performative nonsense.

@drfrancisyoung.bsky.social's delightful book, living next to my papoo's much abused copy of Bulfinch (I need to have the book restored, it is my shame it is in this condition).

Please consider this excellent work for your own book hoard. You will not regret it.

I am going to confess. I may have broken the boycott of Amazon over the weekend.

All I ask is your forgiveness. I could not help myself. There were BOOKS to acquire. Books that Bluesky placed in my path.

How could I not?

There was a war movie. I don't remember the name, just that the plot (spoiler) was the group had to take down a bridge. To do that, the realized they needed to destroy the up-river dam, because the bridge was too entrenched to go at directly.

So, let me tell you about uncapping the House...

Now we know why Hegseth fired so many of the miliary attorneys.
“Murder, war crimes, or both.”

A working group of former JAG attorneys says the Hegseth/Trump Caribbean boat bombings are precisely the kind of illegal orders the military has a duty to disobey and can be prosecuted for following. www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...
