Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

I'd learn how to install Linux on VMware Fusion, running on my Mac, from a Debian iso image. I'd learn how to setup up SSH and rehash the debate around what the best shell to use. I'd go with Zsh and fall down the Oh My Zsh rabbit hole.

I'd also learn why it's GNU/Linux and not just Linux.

What would I do in a situation like this?

If I were just starting my career, I'd be listening to everything. I'd bet on the future and hedge on the fundamentals. I'd pick the most popular agentic coding tool and go all in. I'd hedge that bet by learning the fundamentals of software development.

Everyone Pardoned By Trump With Political Or Financial Ties To White House Trump pardoned a banker convicted of bribing the former Puerto Rican governor after his daughter gave $3.5 million to the president’s super PAC.

This pay for pardon list is extraordinary.

HIS WORD BALLOON: "And now the enemies of democracy are on the run ... they will never take over OUR country!"" HER WORD BALLOON: "Let's hope and pray for a quick end to all dictators."

And now for a string of previous context-free comic book panels of the day which seem worth resharing as we struggle to survive Donald Trump's war on America.

"Let's hope and pray for a quick end to all dictators."

“Our House” by Crosby, stills, Nash, & young is one of my favorite songs. Not many love songs talk about the mundane moments in life which make up most of our days. That’s what I always romanticized ❤️

A Grand Yuletide Theory: The Muppet Christmas Carol is the Best Adaptation of A Christmas Carol Only one movie has ever managed to recreate that uniquely Dickens magic, achieving it not so much through adaptation as through transmutation.

I have long argued that this is the best and most faithful to Dickens’ of all the adaptations; I love this so much and could not agree more! The uncanniness of the Muppets transcends the archetypical nature of this story - and Gonzo as Dickens is the cherry on top
