Listened to this great interview, and now there’s a book about the history of axe murders on my Christmas list.

@rmccarthyjames.bsky.social, I’m looking forward to learning all things axe.

Small town, red state. Peaceful protest by people who care about this country. This time there were no counter-protesters.

My son and his friends would practice great music in my basement when they were in high school. I miss that feeling of having my own personal playlist. They were so talented.

And dentists

I want to remind everyone that without Elon Musk, we wouldn't be in this situation where our academic institutions, science enterprise, and democracy are being dismantled, and millions of additional people around the world are going to die. We want both of them to lose horribly in this fight.

Tell us more, Elon. What exactly did you do to get Trump and Republicans elected?

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Thank you! Just getting Strom Thurmond’s speech off the record books was a service. Thank you for stepping up. Thank you for giving voice to those who are hurting.

A Democrat meets the moment. More of this please!

Your last show had only one flaw - that it was your last show. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for you. You are a strong voice in the present danger.

It’s a scary place to be, but do not give up. Voices that can increase understanding about climate chaos are important. I believe there will be a new opportunity out there that offers an even better and more effective platform to enlighten people.

This actually made me sadder than anything I’d heard so far, and there has been so much to be sad about. I had actually gained new respect for President Bush from learning about PEPFAR in Dr. Fauci’s autobiography. Now they want to end it. Evil.

If you need a distraction this weekend, here’s a good one:

It’s so devastating. I’m so sorry.

My twins are 25 now. They were the fifth set on my mom’s side. They were/and still are great fun. You will love them, if you are double lucky.

X users jump to Bluesky - but what is it and who owns it? - BBC News Bluesky is picking up one million new users every day at its current rate.

Is there anything about the way Bluesky is currently owned/organized that would prevent it from becoming a billionaire’s toy?

And will it become available in time for anything to be done if something’s amiss?

I keep hoping Dark Brandon shows up.

Thank you! Makes me feel better.

I agree with all of that, but I also believe when you have one candidate backed by Elon and Russian hackers, double checking paper ballots against the machine count in at least a sampling of precincts is not election denial. It’s due diligence.

I watched AOC’s livestream last night. She reaffirmed all I’ve been thinking about this. The Supreme Court will be much more likely to decide who the next president is if Biden’s not on the ballot. Does anyone think they won’t take that chance? Also, Dems piss off us oldsters, minorities and unions!

Sleep thing works for me. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and write notes so I remember in the morning. I write for a regional magazine, and I’ve come up with several ledes while sleeping.

I had just finished reading your thread over there and came here to follow you, arriving 22 seconds after your first post. It must have been gut-wrenching to watch Twitter be destroyed from the inside. Wishing you the best.

It seems this country has decided it prefers unfettered capitalist greed to the preservation of sources of reliable information. The local newspaper I worked for, which had been profitable, was dismantled by a vulture as well.
