Very disappointing, though ultimately unsurprising, to see the DOJ surrender in the middle of the Ticketmaster-LiveNation case after political pressure from the top. Hopefully the states will continue to push to break up a monopoly that should have never been allowed to exist in the first place.
this cat's anger is entirely justified
Wait, we didn't have that already? That's nuts! #maine #mepolitics #mainelegislature

Shan is entering his Grumpy Old Man era.
Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
No, she went to live on a farm, with lots of room where she can run
Yep, that's a cat for you.
from @hcrichardson.bsky.social : "Buried in the cascade of news this week, Sadie Gurman and Caitlin Ostroff of the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that 47,635 files are missing from the Epstein files documents that the Justice Department has made public."
Those are some truly magnificent whiskers. Thank you for sharing them.
A PSA from Thomas Massie:
A friend came over today. Shan really liked his shoes.
We are watching a show about tigers.
Security issue much?

Plus, where are they moving? I want to go there, because living in a community that has queer people in it is more fun and interesting.
