Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

I guess we can all just enter each other’s houses now with something that looks like an administrative warrant. What could go wrong?

Despite US politics being a total clusterfuck, this is an incredible development. It will be the first time anyone under the age 54 will have been alive to see a Lunar mission. Part of the spacecraft was also built by the European Space Agency. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

It's pretty interesting that "presidential candidates have to move to the center to win the general election" was unassailable conventional wisdom in political science for 100 years and now one party has completely abandoned that to incredible success.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Generally, i try to not be a “how did you not know” kinda person. But i guess i pride myself on listening to those most vulnerable and believing them when they tell everyone, over and over, that “yeah, most people are bad and want to kill us”. Feel vulnerable now?
If we survive this, I'll be changed by the fact that I can no longer not know that at any given time, ⅓ of the people are gleeful at the prospect of those they despise getting hurt or killed, and ⅓ of the people are apathetic as long as they personally aren't inconvenienced by the hurting, and your

Should culture fit be a factor in hiring, or is tech skill sufficient?
To me, software development is first and foremost a social activity performed by humans, with all the baggage that comes with being human. Technical competence is nice, but it is not the core of who we are.

Even the most fervent advocates of, "Well, you can't have *no* police! We need some form of police force!" Would start to think about the difference between US border protection before ICE existed and after it existed, and start comparing US policing to policing in less racist countries.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.
![Excerpt from Wikipedia reads: "Fight against merchandising his characters
For years, Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work, something that he felt would cheapen his comic through compromising the act of creation or reading.[21][22]
He refused to merchandise his creations on the grounds that displaying Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially sold mugs, stickers, and T-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. Watterson said that Universal kept putting pressure on him and that he had signed his contract without fully perusing it because, as a new artist, he was happy just to find a syndicate willing to give him a chance (two other syndicates had previously turned him down). He added that the contract was so one-sided that, if Universal really wanted to, they could license his characters against his will, and could even fire him and continue Calvin and Hobbes with a new artist. Watterson's position eventually won out, and he was able to renegotiate his contract so that he would receive all rights to his work. Later he said that the licensing fight exhausted him and contributed to the need for a nine-month sabbatical in 1991.[23]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreihmgl3sxrmb5t6edpjnixyanj2rvcf43zdv46mbifhl7hdtmz5u6y@jpeg)
