lol

seriously though the ipod and those God awful white buds ruined a ton of music mixing and mastering for almost a decade, as producers tried to blow out lows and highs to sound passable, which is why albums made between 1995-2002 or so are the best

The complete obliviousness of the markets (save for gold, but that's internationally traded so does not solely reflect domestic sentiment) to the collapse of the rule of law here is quite something.

I'm ready to work with DOGE to slash waste. I have a track record of doing so. I led the charge to get TransDigm to refund $16 million after investigative reporting exposed price-gouging. Let's look to the Truman Committee and ensure Americans get their money's worth with DOD spending.

next president needs to order the Hawaii national guard deployed to Oklahoma in order to beat up christofash public school administrators who refuse to use pronouns or do land acknowledgements before every meeting

James @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social · 2d

Okay. Well, if Trump is going to attempt legal end-arounds like federalizing the NG of GOP states to send them to Dem states over the objections of governors and courts, I think the Democrats should just keep the federal government shut down indefinitely.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

it's less on policy and more on vibes (eg MSM discourse about the far left, eg Bernie Sanders, being extreme taking root)

financial markets have not reacted to the Shutdown because of TACO (a real phenomenon), because govt shutdowns are always short, and because we're in a generational speculation bubble

Trump can't win if he's actually gonna do brinkmanship on the shutdown, Treasuries + Stonks *will* get smoked

When President AOC federalizes the National Guard in 2029 to protect abortion clinics, Ilan is going to magically discover an English treatise written in 1610 that proves Matthew Kacsmaryk can issue a nationwide injunction against her.

Personally, I always wait until the trains are running to the concentration camps before I decide I’m living under fascism

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · 3d

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

shane @mouthfulofcavities.bsky.social · 3d

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.
