Quarterly review completed. I still have a job.

I swear, the way things are running the next season of @hanrahan.tv's "Sad Oligarchs" is going to be focused on the U.S....

Apologies for the confusion!

Oh! And there were extras included! I did a happy dance and giggled when all the goodies started pouring out of the package.

Detritus Books rocks so hard!

Look what arrived today!

Thank you @margaret.bsky.social and @detritusbooks.bsky.social for being awesome! This order happened explicitly because of the CZM Book Club. I was entranced and had to get a copy for myself.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Damn. That's an article.

So yeah, on one hand, invoking the Gadsden Flag in the name of sending US troops to occupy US cities is hilariously absurd. On the other hand, it is exactly the sort of absurdity one would expect from a fascistic American leader.

Hey friends ... please help a friend.

Being able to get more Star Trek made shouldn't feel this dirty.

Trump being unable to remember things he did in his first term, his bizarre antics during the Club World Cup final, the lashing out and reversals over Epstein, and the WH now admitting his health issues do not feel unrelated. The veneer of invincibility is cracking.

Consequences? In this economy!?

Cat wanted fountain. Cat made fountain.

OpenAI and Anthropic are modern Enrons. They can't operate without stealing.

Would be nice if people talking about what Ron DeSantis is up to in the Everglades would acknowledge Floridians are fighting it and turning up halfway to the middle of nowhere to protest, because the way people who aren't in Florida are discussing #AlligatorAlcatraz you'd think there's no pushback.

New York Times Cited 29 Times to Justify Case Limiting Trans Healthcare — Assigned Meanwhile, other mainstream media newsrooms treated the U.S. v. Skrmetti case as an opportunity to center coverage around the expected result.

New from Evan: You might know that the New York Times took a shameful victory lap the day after the Supreme Court ruled bans on gender affirming care are not discriminatory.

But what you probably don't know is that ban supporters cited NYT in their amicus briefs 29 times.

I've lived on or near Patrick, MacDill, and Maxwell.

I feel you. Stay alert, stay safe, and whatnot.

Honestly think casting these kids constitutes child abuse poor kids

Portland, Oregon is so liberal the cops can unlawfully assault you on the news and no one will see it.

They can kill you in the liberal run jail and no one will see it.

Liberal magic.

Oh please. Like Jake would actually report on anything damaging to a Republican. Or on anything that has actual weight and substance.

It’s hard to express just how MUCH this will matter for thousands of women.

Hmm. We have zero Apple equipment or software in the house tech environment, so I'm not familiar with their offerings. Looks like the only two plan options it gives me are Individual, or Student.

I have 6 family members in my Spotify family plan. Does Apple really not have something comparable?

I tried switching from Spotify to Tidal when the Rogan deal was announced. The problem my wife and I ran into was that 8% of the music in my playlists and nearly 30% of the music in my wife's playlists weren't available on Tidal. Maybe it's time to check again...

It's a really weird couple of weeks for @adamconover.net .

He nailed a BTB appearance with @iwriteok.bsky.social , and then got dragged by @skepchick.bsky.social for "reviewing" The Orb in a TikTok video in which he never addresses that it was started by Sam Altman and is likely another scam.

This follows lawsuits across the country and orders — including one in a federal court in Georgia affecting more than 100 students — finding that the moves were likely illegal.

Bluesky protecting identity of ICE agents. Hmmmm.
