If you're wondering why I shared Klobuchar's comments, let me introduce any latecomers to the chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee: This is John Boozman. He is from Arkansas.

Buy land THEN see if it will support your concentration camp project. The AR GOP couldn't plan their way out an open door; unfortunately it seems to imply that the electorate is equally bigoted, ignorant, and delusional.

It's not a Friday, but I released a video this morning. It's about something really nice that my friend Adam Shostack is doing. If you find yourself no longer employed by the Fed due to cuts, chaos, etc. Adam is offering you a free seat in his upcoming training. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPpp...

"how did we get here?" decades of collaboration with the post-9/11 security state, militarizing law enforcement, dehumanizing immigrants and people of color, capitulating to racist and sexist definitions of what it means to be an American

If you don't think this is possible, you don't understand the administration we are dealing with. It was my first thought when he won. This is too much of a threat to them.

Often times the most difficult problems I encounter doing maintenance on my various machines were created by previous owners or "mechanics" having no clue as to what they were doing. It's great to try and fix your own stuff, even better to seek out the skills and knowledge on how to do it right.

In a recent @arkansasadvocate.com column, I outlined how Medicaid cuts threaten Arkansas rural hospitals, 10 of which are in imminent danger of closing. So will Tom Cotton & John Boozman stand up rural Arkansas, rather than serving Donald Trump? #arpx arkansasadvocate.com/2025/05/28/t...

Today in 1947, amateur pilot Kenneth Arnold saw something unusual while flying in the skies over Washington State and, thanks to editors and headline writers misunderstanding his subsequent description of the strange phenomena he said he witnessed, the concept of the “flying saucer” was born:

Today in 1957, the United States conducted the PRISCILLA nuclear test at the Nevada Test Site, the sixth of 29 tests in Operation Plumbbob. The test device was suspended from a balloon 700 feet in the air and detonated with an explosive yield of 37 kilotons. Watch an official time-lapse video below:

Love seeing @deviantollam.bsky.social supporting a bit of obfuscation, definitely for us that live on multi-acre compounds with hills and ponds and the good ol' back forty...and maybe some of you other folks too. Buried booty really gets me right in my pirate heart. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCw_...

Stunned the fascists haven't shut down NOAA radio yet, for saying such commie things as "check on your elderly relatives and neighbors" because of the heat.
