What is with the slew of AI-voiced YouTube channels devoted to petty revenge? It seems to be a fairly new phenomenon.

PLEASE read this thread. It's vital. And offers a way to fight this open threat.

"Political scientist Adam Bonica noted last Friday that Trump and the administration suffered a 96% loss rate in federal courts in the month of May. Those losses were nonpartisan: 72.2% of Republican-appointed judges and 80.4% of Democratic-appointed judges ruled against the administration."

An important perspective. #free #gift #unlocked www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/o...

My immediate family consists of Americans of mostly Irish descent, so for our Memorial Day cookout, I made bulgogi on a hibachi. It seemed fitting, somehow. People fought and died so that we could have choices and could welcome and embrace other cultures in a spirit of brotherhood and equality.

Come up with a sign so clever, we all want to share it. Be seen. Be heard. Show solidarity with others. And don't let the bastards grind you down.

To my fellow citizens of the USA -- June 14th (Flag Day) will be a good day to show that you care about your country.

Do you think that more partners will be leaving law firms that cut deals with Trump, once they see the nature of the pro bono work they're obligated to do for T and his cronies?

It's something. If the current POTUS were not all about vengeance, he'd understand that this is not where his attention should be focused. (This cuts against his latest Harvard attack, but is broader.) #free www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

I think there is a problem with many calls for protest, as that dilutes the effort and may well serve Trump. I'm thinking that June 14th might be legit, though. It's Flag Day. It's also Trump's birthday, and he wants a parade. A true rally for the USA makes sense, and could alter the narrative.

Imagine starting a car that hadn't run in 21 years, that's 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. That's what the NASA team just did with Voyager's thrusters. People are amazing. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-v...

Trump hates the SCOTUS. He hates the Statue of Liberty. He thinks veterans are losers and doesn't want to be seen with injured vets. He hates Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. Is there anything traditionally American that he loves? He can't even like the Pledge because it isn't about him.

'Making do' at its finest. #free #gift #unlocked www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/s...

I use the calculator on my cell phone occasionally. I didn't know until today that if I turn the phone to landscape position, the calculator shows advanced functions.
