“The doctors were astounded by his incredible fitness and vigor and the president was greatly honored to accept their request that he return every few weeks for additional study so that medical development may benefit from his exceptional health.”

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

I am once again asking anyone ever to ask him what “fa” stands for and why anti is bad.

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

The wake of the Dotcom Crash was a bad time for tech valuations but an *amazing* time for tech development.

Alexander Clarkson @aphclarkson.bsky.social · 8h

Quite baffling that so many still won't face how this is a bubble whose post-burst shakeout would take down unsustainable firms and reward ones that focus on cost discipline and energy efficiency in ways that might be good for AI development

He’s still reliant on Sidious for direction beyond feeling disdain for the Jedi. Yoda admits they’ve been short-sighted & could benefit from new ways of thinking, while still rejecting the Dark Side. This plays sufficiently to Dooku’s ego; he plans to use exile to scheme but unexpectedly finds peace

Bail arranges to moderate a top secret meeting between Dooku and Yoda. Windu shows up unexpectedly; Bail demands he leave, which Dooku accepts as proof Bail is unbiased. Given Sidious has gone missing, Dooku accepts comfortable exile on Alderaan where he learns to commune with his student Qui-Gon.

josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 8h

Okay but what about Dooku? Do we have a situation where the Jedi sit the war out but the Separatists are still led by a Sith?

Organa narrowly clears thru the Senate new taxes on Core Worlds to fund social/peace programs for CIS-leaning worlds, derogatorily labeled Alderaan Everywhere. This damages his popularity, but it is buttressed by repurposing war assets to chart new hyperspace lanes in the outer rim, improving trade.

Padmé, seen as mentee and heir apparent, is elected Chancellor but fails to broker a peace, leading to a vote of no confidence. Replaced by a bellicose scion of a Corellian shipbuilder who profits from going to war with the CIS, falls to disgrace and is succeeded by Bail Organa, who brokers peace.

Look, you get to see two of the best teams in football, coming from polar opposites of our great land, highlighting the majestic abundance of America, or you get to see Jerry Jones’s corpse continue to desiccate through poorly lit, heavily zoomed shots from sideline cameras. Fox feeds the people.

This feels undeniable as a creator of any sort. I’ve often used the same analogy in describing my own process and output potential.

ryan cooper @ryanlcooper.com · 14h

boy is this a relevant observation

To create something, anything, good, takes time and desire. “A project that takes five years will accumulate those years’ inventions and richnesses. Much of those years’ reading will feed the work,” Annie Dillard wrote in The Writing Life. Good creative work draws on the well of your experience, on everything that you consumed and felt and saw over a period of time. If you dip into the well constantly without giving it time to refill, you end up with nothing but pieces of mud, nothing that will satiate a thirst for art.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

I line my phone up at 4x zoom pre-snap at upper chest height but watch the plays, so I’m always happy after the fact if I get anything good from the few snaps where I do so.
