“Bluesky is a tiny echo chamber”

Maybe

But in this chamber, what we hear the most is “run the damn ball.”

If the DNC wasn’t so concerned about corporate donors, she would be in party leadership

For the documentary that focuses on the kakistocracy aspects of the Trump presidencies, this should be the pre-credit opening

Just to be confusing, Richmond County is 60 miles NE of Richmond, VA

Acreage doesn’t vote, Virginia edition

Virginia Democrats release proposed map aimed at picking up 4 congressional seats Virginia’s congressional delegation could look a lot more blue.

Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

Rhapsody in Blue

The 1959 performance of this song conducted/performed by Bernstein is just the best. It’s comfort food. Simply amazing.

Luke Gromen @LukeGromen UAE to Trump Administration: "You started this war; if we run short of USDs as a result of it, either you will give us USD swap lines, or we will be forced to start transacting oil and gas in CNY and other currencies." -WSJ, just now Via @ces921 But they have also argued that it was President Trump's decision to attack Iran that entangled their country in a destructive conflict whose effects may not be over, some of the officials said. Emirati officials told the U.S. officials that if the U.A.E runs short of dollars, it may be forced to use Chinese yuan or other countries' currencies for oil sales and other transactions, some of the officials said. In that scenario is an implicit threat to the U.S. dollar, which reigns supreme among global currencies partially because of its near-exclusive use in oil transactions.

Really excited for Dems to win in 2028 and get blamed for not fixing the outgoing Republican economic mess fast enough, and getting crushed in the 2030 midterms.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Walked in on my family watching “Shark Tank,” and my goodness, what is the deal with all of these rich women messing up their faces? It’s crazy

What I imagine the inside of your car looks like if you drive an M badged BMW SUV

If they want to kill the MAGA movement for good, the next Democratic Congress must investigate every single one of these suspicious trades.

People will (apparently) put up with a lot of unacceptable behavior, but I think (hope) they draw the line at war profiteering.

“The Boys Are Back in Town” mentioned

I really love how you can tell which portions of religious school clicked for people. Jewish Sunday school, for me at least, was all about the hopes of tikkun olam. Israel was just some place.

Scalia was clearly not moved by the whole Preferential Option for the Poor and Vulnerable thing.

Make SNL have a non-political cold open again

After two nurses in Samoa negligently mixed MMR vaccine with anesthetic, killing two kids, RFK seized on the opportunity, went to Samoa to talk about how dangerous vaccines were.

In the resulting outbreak, 83 died (population 200k). That’s the equivalent of 145k Americans.

He’s everyone’s enemy.

Trump Faces Blowback on Easing Iran Oil Sanctions

As of March 23, Iran had netted $14B after the removal of sanctions from their oil.

At about $140M/day, the Iran has likely made an additional $3.5B.

Fox News killed Obama for his return of $1.7B of sanctioned cash to Iran in exchange for no nukes.

So they have more money and a nuclear program

Current realistic goal: doing as many one-set pushups as my age in years. Hoping to get to at least 55 before I can’t do it anymore.
