government subsidies to prop up an industry seems very much from the Chinese playbook.

what the hell is an AI satellite. it's like when brands just started putting "e" in front of everything to try to make it sound high tech.

Even if your assumption is true, Schumer misses completely the concept that you cannot negotiate with the Rs in good faith. Moron got burnt two months ago with the shut down, now he's letting them light him up again.

Gotta love the Kate Bush reference from the Guardian's headline editor.

Hiccup is home after three long weeks away. And now I can watch the Liverpool match with lots of company. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

I made marshmallows today. Much easier than I realized and this means we will drink hot chocolate tonight

If you took 14% of the population out of consideration we would have a majority, isn't a good argument. It suggests you're deeply in the minority.

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed by the skier's pee writing ability.

I saw all of them at the Amnesty International
tour at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. I don't recall that backdrop, but it's quite possible this is from that show. Thanks for sharing!

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It's funny in hindsight. I grew up poor, but not anywhere near the poverty level, but with parents born in the depression their frugality always made it seem like we were poorer than we actually were.

In thinking about dog music for Barclay, I remembered The Dog Police. This was truly one of the great moments of early Mtv.

Good morning Bluesky! Barclay wanted some dog music today and since I don’t own the Dogs in Space soundtrack it’s Kings of the Wild Frontier. Dog Eat Dog watch me daddy-o. I think Adam is so underrated for the boundaries he pushed both musically and visually #vinyl #recordsky

Barclay is staying with us for the next week while his owner is away. He just got a very short haircut and damn if he’s not the cutest. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #poodles
