I got to travel with Jude, Mer, and Giovanni on a couple of these, which made those trips a joy. But in this same stretch, I traveled both domestically and internationally for the university, so I think I am going to spend as much of the spring as possible barefoot in my living room.

9 from New Orleans, 6 from Baton Rouge, 3 from Starkville, Mississippi, 2 each from Columbia (MO), Oxford, Fayetteville, Dallas, and Jacksonville.

Also one-offs from Auburn, Columbia (SC), Eugene, Gainesville, Houston, Lafayette, Memphis, Montgomery, Orlando, Salt Lake City, and Tuscaloosa.

“Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.”

They are also American values, by the way.

Heh.

Stolen from elsewhere but very much to the point:

The same people who think that transgenic mice are transgender mice want to get ride of the Department of Education.

This is a Fox Noozy pretext for military action. Given 47's oft-voiced desire for Canada to be the 51st state, this feels like a narrative meant to build to war. It'll take time and a daily drum beat on Fox, etc., but I fear the idea here is to create a pretext for the occupation of Canadian cities.

Are you. Fucking. Kidding me?

the push within evangelical circles to get people to except the lie that empathy is a sin and musk, and the techno fascist obsession with calling empathy a darwinian failure should make it clear that these people are interested in only one thing killing as many nonwhite nonwealthy people as they can

To even toy with the idea of annexing neighboring countries is antithetical to everything the United States claims to be and to the world it has worked to build over the last century.

WE WILL NOT STAND FOR IT.

We all better get out ahead of this. He is dead serious.

I am American and I OPPOSE THE IDEA OF AN IMPERIAL CONQUEST OF GREENLAND by the United States government.

I OPPOSE THE IDEA OF AN IMPERIAL CONQUEST OF ANY COUNTRY by the United States government.

Been a long while since we were over here. Everything right where we left it. A good one.

In a stunning comeback, Russia wins the Cold War And we helped them do it.

Rewriting modern history: they outlasted and outplayed us.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

Glory to Ukraine.
Glory to the heroes.
Death to Vladimir Putin.
Death to cowards.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social has been using his calm, rational, well-articulated expertise to try to warn us. It's about time we pay attention.

Second time in a week he's gone after Trump's public lies. Has Mike Pence belatedly found something that resembles backbone?

Little late on this share, but this is the kind of fermented glory our friend Giovanni and his family have brought into our lives. 😅

Right @meredithgranieri.bsky.social?

You guys. Look at Jupiter and try to catch your breath.

Antidepressants save lives.

I'm all for a program that encourages exercise and meditation to combat depression, but not in exchange for live-saving drugs. RFK Jr. is not a doctor and is not trained in psychology. He has no schooling in any of this beyond a decade-long personal battle with heroine.
