"Greg Bovino, Tricia McLaughlin, and now Noem. Everyone involved in the spreading of lies about Marimar Martinez is out of their job. Now it is time for the FBI to do their job and investigate Agent Charles Exum and his Border Patrol buddies for their lies "and his unlawful shooting of Ms. Martinez"

Kristi Noem's press office issued a statement telling me to "get a grip and seek help" back in December. Now that she's out of a job, it's my turn to give some advice. Get ready - you will be held accountable by the American people and by God. Repentance will be received well by God at least.

For someone who became famous on TV for firing people in person, Donald is such a coward about firing people in real life. He fired Kristi Noem in a tweet *while* she was giving a televised address.

I was looking out the window and trying to decide if it was raining and when I took the dog out realized it was just generically wet. Also, I have that scarf too (and bought one for @rugger4equality.bsky.social when we were most definitely not flirting)!

β€œUCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has shown that deep reading, defined as sustained immersion in a text, builds the cognitive circuits required for critical analysis, empathy and perspective-taking in ways that skimming, scrolling and short-form video simply cannot.”

Lou Holtz was fired as head coach at Arkansas because he kept taping campaign ads for Jesse Helms.

He was too racist for Arkansas. In 1983.

I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

Nobody plays the national media like Rahm Emanuel. Here in Chicago, no one is fooled.

Face of a gray-bearded old white guy wearing a bike helmet covered in wet fog drops, glasses slid down his nose also totally wet. Facemask on chin matches blue stripes in Chicago flag scarf. He is grinning enigmatically.

Ok, I usually avoid riding to work in the rain. Radar showed no rain. But this morning I relearned the fact that fog, especially on the Lakefront, is just rain falling really really slowly. I regret nothing.

This is horrific but also the military has a long history of targeting innocents based on outdated intel, so I wouldn't exactly call this a new problem or an AI-specific problem.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of β€” on steroids.

It would be terrible if America ran out of drones and had to go to Ukraine to beg for drones and cheap drone tech, and Trump to visit and be harassed by Zelensky for not wearing OD green while in a war. And Vance and Rubio had to yell Glory to the Heroes in order to get help from Europe as well.
