What does it matter if they just ignore the laws anyway? They blew right past Posse Comitatus

They've been prepping to "both sides" this issue for ages. Think way back to pizzagate. I wonder if it is more than just Trump?

@techconnectify.bsky.social I don't suppose you read these but I saw your underwood portable in the frame just now (has that always been there?). I wonder if you'd want to do a progression of typewriter tech? I have a collection with that focus and I live in the NW suburbs.

Fairly common in Hawaii. We were possibly looking to buy there before we had kids.

He was very introspective after that. He was very early in seeing the GOP coming off the rails and deciding not to be a part of it.

Seriously our Reichstag Fire is a dork getting carjacked? That was the best they could muster? And we can't figure out how to not? What is going on?!

He doesn't even mention the Saturday Night Massacre nor that Bork's position on Monopoly singlehandedly broke that entire notion for at least a generation. No just we should have accepted him because he wasn't as bad as what they're throwing at us now?! 100% BS!

I was really disappointed in the trailer for Project Hail Mary. They made the twist in the book into the plot point for the trailer! I hope they don't do that for the movie too

Wouldn't it be nice to have a Congress with any modern history whatsoever at effectively asserting its authority to limit war powers. But that's not a living memory.

Gilded implies more than just the gold, it's that the gold is applied over a cheaper base just to look good. This is the Veneer Age, the Flat-Packed Age, the Fast-Fashion Age, the Maxed-Out Platinum Card Age. ...

Absolutely they could have converted Biden better and yet making their failing about Biden and not Trump is again enacting their same failing about Trump

I logged in to Twitte ... err ... X for the first time in a long time and, wow. It is unusably slow and searching a local town name the first thing that came up was porn. Doing great Elmo, doing great.

How is it possible that just one man is being allowed to bring down the entire world economy and perhaps the Pax Americana? Someone stop this!

I wrote what I was thinking. I couldn't undo it, so I left it. It was oddly freeing in a way I had never anticipated. I highly recommend it.

Also the clicky-clack. So nice.

You know you can't correct typos and you mentally prepare for that. What I hadn't expected was that you also cannot compose and recompose. It became a steam of consciousness, but interestingly enough, a good one.

I've taken up a hobby of repairing very old typewriters. It's a fun way to use my hands and think mechanically. It wasn't until yesterday that I actually sat down and wrote a letter using one. It was a revelation. 1/x

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.
