Sapient Hominid

S.O.S. written with in seashells on a beach.

Our entire country should be posting this.

I'm not sure of the downside to Biden simply not saying anything about his diagnosis. He doesn't owe us anything.

Yes, it's calmer here, and if you're more liberal, you're kind of preaching to the choir.

If you want to confront MAGA, you have to go to X, but it's maddening, infuriating, and enervating.

Hi. Good to see you. I haven't visited Bluesky for a while.

I thought "Sinners" is a really good movie. The cinematography is excellent. The one scene in the dance hall with the young blues player is surreal and mindblowing.

Trump makes McCarthy look like an amateur.

We have never been at war with Eastasia.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Truth.

I gave up on that long ago.

What could be the possible explanation for this? Any and every country is a potential cyber adversary. We should be guarding against all of them.

The Oval Office visit with Zelenskyy is getting rave reviews in Moscow.

I’m glad this happened. Now the entire world knows once and for all that Trump & Vance stand with Putin.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

People who discover a lifelong passion early in their lives are the luckiest people in the world, but that doesn't make for a snappy song title.

Because they're hypocrites.

We relocated the American Indians, and that worked out fine, right?

How long before statistics put out by the government are simply made up to make Trump look good?

Inflation: 0
Budget deficit: 0

Etc

The fact that 27% support Trump's Gaza plan is pretty shameful.

Today it'll be the Gulf of America; tomorrow it'll be something else. You can't appease a dictator.

It's weird and sad that diversity, equity, and inclusion are considered bad things by a lot of people.

Why is NIH cutting their programs? Has their budget actually been cut, or are they complying in advance?

The Gods Must Be Crazy

But somebody has to stop him. Will the donors resist? So far the big money is folding like cheap beach chairs.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States WASHINGTON—Putting the nation on alert against what it has described as a “highly credible terrorist threat,” the FBI announced today that it has uncovered a plot by members of al-Qaeda to sit back an...

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

What we may see now is a systematic purge of Federal employees who are not ideologically pure enough. You know, like Hitler did.

If we had a healthy legislative branch right now, @elonmusk would be hauled in front of Congress today & asked questions under oath. There’d be immediate hearings/congressional oversight. But that’s if we currently had the legislative branch our Founders envisioned. And we don’t.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer is a good one. He's also got a couple of other ones about the rise of Hitler. Shirer was a journalist who lived in Germany during the 30s. Saw it first-hand.
