There is some dude with a squirrel on his head giving a speech on TV. I’m watching Saving Private Ryan, honoring those who fought fascists and gave all for our freedom. Some folks might have forgotten what that kerfuffle in Europe was about. Gotta believe #amc playing this right now is no accident.

Taxes are (at least should be) the price the rich pay to sleep well at night.

Soon, it may be that the rich do not sleep so well. It's an interesting choice on their part. Be clear, it is a choice.

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan.

He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable.

He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

The Washington Post Is Dying a Death of Despair The demise of an independent press in the United States might not look much like what readers expect.

That Jeff Bezos has taken the @washingtonpost.com off the rails of actual journalism makes me feel a lot better that I cancelled my subscription in December. @theatlantic.com now gets my eyes and for them I am grateful.

Do It for Gilda The too-short life of a comedy genius is a reminder to the rest of us to make good use of the time we are given.

If you never saw her on SNL, you missed it. If you go back and watch, you will appreciate her. She was a genius, IMO.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

My biggest concern is that they point that money into their own accounts.

Opinion | Don’t Believe Him (Gift Article) Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

A useful read - www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

@mcuban.bsky.social - I appreciate the pointer to a potentially interesting article / op-ed. Any chance you can post the "Gift article" links for those of us who want to read but can't afford the subscription?

It really is different - seems that the switch to what may be Meta servers did indeed lose "the algorithm." Helping @skylight.social with their Beta test and will move over once that is running well...

This is it right here. What the actual fuck?

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.

Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥

Dude, you get shared by me to people who relate to stories. Your class is on my to do list this year and I hope my leadership allows me to attend.

AND, if you ever come to San Jose, please let me take you to a San Jose Giants (minor league) game.

As for the creators on #TikTok, @nealfoard.bsky.social is one of my absolute favorites. His stories are relatable, relevant, often funny, and generally pithy, which I value. Thank you Neal, you helped me navigate a challenging time in my life. ❤️
