Tony just could not let that one go.

The scope of reforms we need in the exec and judicial branches is just enormous and we will need to fight like demons just to get something extremely disappointing.

When Google Reader was killed, "just use twitter for that" was the advice I saw everywhere. Yuck. I still read my Digby and Atrios every day and I sure do miss Kevin Drum.

Ugh I hate watching Denver play.

I have an LX5 and I'm not really a photographer, but this makes me want to dust it off. Always loved that camera.

Trump chose 8 PM ET because that's the start of prime time viewing, in his 1985 view of the world. He wants everybody to tune in for the season finale of The Trump Versus Iran Show.

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

OMG from the screenplay he's working on

Mine fell off the counter and broke in two. I replaced it with the smaller, simpler 8 cup which is equally great.

Tlbeing able to come back like this after a total collapse is everything.

A banner on the front of the Hook & Ladder music venue in South Minneapolis, reading, "when you worship power mercy & compassion seem like sins" in white letters over a brick-red background.

Another one I really like at the Hook & Ladder.

So if you stalk someone and follow them home you can enter without a warrant. Sure.

We desperately need to stop worshipping these men who caught lightning in a bottle once. Bunch of drips.

Oh my god, "frisson," "gnosticism." Try harder why don't you?

WTF are those words? We have to take the keys away from these diptshits.

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

I would add that the Green New Deal (introduced 7 years ago) is also a RW obsession connected to their hatred of AOC, and currently a much hotter topic on the right than on the left. These people are obviously just right wingers who still want to have cool friends.

I love the framing of what makes a lefty as three popular ideas progressives tend to agree with and one ("open borders") that right wingers use to slander Democrats. Ohhhh, dang, you got me there.

Why in the HELL can't you just say no to insanity? Why the "to be sure" bullshit? Why????? This kind of finger to the wind statement tells people they should not trust Democrats because you have no courage.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

Nope! The media want him and liberals are enchanted by his social media team's trolling, and that is all.

This is the conversation I need! As a young child in the 70s I thought that everyone would wear uniforms—some kind of jumpsuit—in the future, all the time. I'm close in age to most of these fools.

May his electoral fate be that of Jeb Bush.

I remember Jeff Goldblum and an "Uploading virus..." progress bar, which I LOVED! Total nonsense. I hope that is a real memory. I remember nothing else about this movie except that Bill Pullman is president.

The Desolation of Smaug. I accidentally went to a high frame rate screening, and not only did its awfulness tell me the Hobbit trilogy would never be redeemed, watching it was like a nightmare.

Was almost desperate to like it after the bonkers TLJ. Was ready to get on board with whatever. Found out that while I would do anything for love, I won't do that. I would rather watch AOTC, which is so hard to watch.

Wow.

Reactionary centrist advice to Democrats boils down to one thing: avoid making the argument, about anything. Don't defend what was known as "the a-word" (abortion), promise to also "get tough on crime" aka don't speak out on injustice, hop on board xenophobic policies & rhetoric (Laken Riley).

I am trying to get through this movie about rich liberals turning Republican as they grow older but it's not that interesting.
