Age verification? When I bought my first computer, they tried to upsell me to 8MB of RAM at the store.

Love the closing line tonight, @hcrichardson.bsky.social!

Love the closing line tonight. Thanks, as always, for the cogent and clarifying recap of events, @hcrichardson.bsky.social.

Momma’s new album is good! At number 2 on this list is a pleasant surprise. Nice to see the new Caroline album noted, as well as Horsegirl—both are also standout albums to me, so far this year.

@wired.com has been doing great reporting on the technocratic aspects of the present administration.

@propublica.org, going the extra lengths for the good, accurate story, yet again.

Haven’t heard it yet, but so much of his work is amazing.

Great collection of artists! Looking forward to listening. (Should out to Paul Strategy!)

Proud of my Senator for not getting spun around my this wildly circular response pattern.

This record gives me chills, every time.

As he was falling asleep tonight, my five-year-old asked me, “Dad, who is our mayor? Like, the president, but for our city.”

I told him the name of our mayor. Then he asked me, “Dad, is Trumps going to hurt us?”

Why is my 5yr old asking this second question??

This was my thinking upon hearing the news of his breaking the floor speech time record.

@wired.com really has some great reporting going on in these present times.

Great listening pair with the 2nd (recent) Horsegirl album!

Love love love this album and the one before it, ‘Imperial f.f.r.r.’. Complex, dynamic, cyclical indie rock with minimalist vibes and great melodies. Looking forward to receiving my 2LP reissue soon.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social — ask me about this, from one Bobcat to another.

Did anyone happen to catch the “edited” list before it was taken down?

The Trilateral Process: The United States, Ukraine, Russia and Nuclear Weapons When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine had the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal on its territory. When Ukrainian-Russian negotiations on removing these weapons from Ukraine appeared to ...

I regularly read the newsletters from @hcrichardson.bsky.social, but don’t recall hearing about this particular aspect of the US/Ukraine/Russia historical relationship. /end

since the beginning of the Zelenskyy/Trump dynamics. The whole thing adds some vitally important details to the situation, particularly how it is needing to play out for treaty and security purposes. I figured I’d find a reasonable near-historical source today & came across this summary research /2

I’ve recently been seeing some summaries of the 1994 Trilateral Process between US-Ukraine-Russia re Ukrainian nuclear stockpile and missle treaty follow-thru in the aftermath of the downfall of USSR in 1991. I don’t recall reading this important historical context in the past 6 years /1

I saw this Rep give an interview to @pbsnews.bsky.social from MaL during the first few days of wild actions by Muskrats/DOGE and she came across then as misinformed and confused about the realities on the ground. Seems fitting that she’s in a Whip role for the GOP Conference.

Machete method—just hacking away and leaving incredibly crude edges.

This is the way.

you might already know this, but if you don’t know, I’m sure you would love to know that they produced a recording of all of Coop’s “Diane” tapes. I d’led it from a sharing site bitd. It was great to have it in my shuffle queue. www.discogs.com/release/5895...

Interesting interview. Always helpful to listen to (and consider!) voices outside your own conversation.
