Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

1. Kool-Aid Man: dude's strong enough to bust through a brick wall. 2. Jack: certified psychopath who blew up a board room. 3. Colonel Sanders: you want someone skilled at frying. 4. Little Caesar: the only one actually armed with a weapon.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

It’s the 80th Anniversary of VE Day! Here’s to beating back Fascism (now more than ever, please)!

Plese repost & share thys dire but important newes about medieval studyes (of ynterest to anyone who doth care about any kynde of learninge & bookes, too):

Dr. Seuss was wrong. The Grinch is not green but orange, and he never had a heart to begin with.

Not a word of this is true. Literally not a word.

One of Texas' most celebrated authors, author of the classic novel Lonesome Dove, is also one of the authors who could face censorship under HB 3225. @bartography.bsky.social, vice president of the Texas Institute of Letters, explains why we must oppose the latest batch of book ban bills ...

Or, instead of relying on a bullshit machine that will dry up a lake to tell you stupid lies, you could simply read a book, watch a documentary, or see a film. www.techradar.com/computing/ar...

I'd like to wish a very happy "Thank you, Easter Bunny! BAWK! BAWK!" to any of my fellow Olds who celebrate.

I'm seeing grown-ass adults marvel at how high stocks jumped today - they must think their mom actually vanished when she played "peek-a-boo."

If you see anyone tut-tutting about fentanyl or talking about the overdose problem or bemoaning the "increase in drugs in our neighborhoods" or whatever, be sure to mention this: $11 billion dollars in cuts to addiction and mental health treatment, which is what *stops* those things.

happy confederate surrender day to all

I agee w Patrick. (We lived in China at same time, diff on many things, agree here.) Chinese leaders always reckoned with the vast *depth* of US strength. Institutions, networks, expertise. Now, in cold-blooded rather than triumphalist mode, they recognize they're dealing with nuts and clowns.

The correct outcome but it never should have happened in the first place. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

So much winning. Please make it stop.

This is absolutely outrageous and offensive, and a complete whitewashing of our nation's history. www.cnn.com/2025/04/06/u...

Thousands of protestors at the Hands off protest in Austin, TX on April 5, 2025 #Handsoff #ATX #Austin #AustinTX @meidastouch.com @marthawells.com @mashstars.bsky.social @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

I wish I had been able to join the protests across the country today but life conspired against us. Seeing all the photos in my feed though makes me hopeful that we can actually do something about the horror befalling this country before it's too late!

Dead people telling the President to pursue a trade war with an uninhabited island is real George III territory

Ahahaha we American consumers are so, so screwed. Hope you like all your consumer electronics costing 25%+ more (among other things).

160 years ago today, the traitor Jefferson Davis and his treasonous cabinet abandoned Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, spelling the beginning of the end of the Civil War. A day for all patriots to celebrate.

I feel this in my bones
