No. The time change is fine just make it happen like it used to. This is way too early! Some of us like to see the sun in the morning!

Few more pictures... If you look closely in one of them you can see some surfers

I couldn't get my half in the last two weeks. Winter interrupted so much to prevent me without the necessary miles during the week. I did 10. 5 and 11 but blah.

I got back today, with an easy 13.5 in the spring of Jersey Shore fog.

With no longer even pretending to follow rules of engagement, does this mean terrorism is now allowed? What happens if Iran targets one of our hospitals, schools, unarmed American planes, etc

Wish we had a real media

Good thread

Hey NY Times, this ain't the other place. Here you are going to either need to grow a pair or, and I think we would all prefer this, clear house and bring back journalism to your paper!

No planning leads to more and more war from the US.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Eating and cooking meth?

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Perhaps remembering your Minnesota values (as practiced in the streets of Minneapolis) might be a better approach!

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Twitter, post-Musk, shrank to a hangout spot for a subculture of the far right, but the people on Twitter think it’s actually the whole of American culture and its discourse, and our current government is a product of that online subculture, and so they’re governing just for a tiny online community.

Lol

You are probably correct. It is so unfortunate they do not understand the way our government works 😥

Without a majority, without enough to impeach, they cannot act on this. However, the Senate Democrats know perfectly well they can slow the Senate to a crawl. No more unanimous consent, read every bill, have roll calls, etc... Want action on things, you have to step outside "normal" business

Ummm....I guess they are getting worried that they could get the Greens

Screenshot of excerpt from opinion that reads: "Despite this, the New York courts refused to stay the trial court’s order. After that highly questionable injunction was issued, the applicants filed appeals in both the Appellate Division (the State’s intermediate appellate court) and the Court of Appeals (its highest court) challenging the trial court’s order on federal constitutional grounds. At the same time, applicants asked both courts to stay the trial court’s order. The Appellate Division refused to issue a stay, and by order issued on February 11, the Court of Appeals sent the appeal filed in that court to the Appellate Division and dismissed applicants’ motions for a stay."

With nowhere else to turn, the applicants asked us to issue a stay, and we have jurisdiction to entertain their application. Title 28 U. S. C. §1257(a) gives us jurisdiction to review “[f]inal judgments or decrees” that are rendered by a State’s highest court and adjudicate federal constitutional claims, and the Court of Appeals’ February 11 order falls within that category.

1/9: In the New York redistricting case, Justice Alito's justification for why #SCOTUS even had *jurisdiction* to issue a stay is based upon a remarkably misleading portrayal of the state court proceedings.

I realize this is technical, but I wanted to write a short thread to explain the shadiness:

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Hey, cool. @lastweektonight.com just did a segment using reporting I did w/ @farooqumar.bsky.social

Oliver was talking about body cams--and how law enforcement agencies have often undermined their potential

The same body-cams Dems are centering that ICE reforms on

LOL!

If we still have a functioning government in 2029, the first thing that they will need to deal with is the courts, especially the Supreme Court.

I keep asking when Democrats in the Senate and House will finally (ik dumb question) realize that this government will not be stopped by midterms, stern letters, etc, but by doing everything possible to slow, stop, and work outside the system to defeat the fascism that has taken over!

In case you're wondering how some sectors of the Christian right are seeing Trump's war in Iran, I've just read several articles seeing a prophetic meaning in a coincidence of Trump's strikes, the assassination of Khameni, and a blood moon occurring on Purim (tomorrow).

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially.

The apparent lesson learned from the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 is that you shouldn’t attack another country based on false premises. You should attack based on no premises at all.
