@smerconish.bsky.social wastes time on the amazing de-extinct “dire wolves”. A grey wolf with a handful of modified genes IS NOT A DIRE WOLF. File under: Marketing Bullshit.

Ah. Ok. Why use Signal for classified and other discussions? So they don’t have to follow laws about data retention and transparency.

Why is it that when media talks about the U.N. non-binding resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, they always list how the U.S. sided with Russia, North Korea, and other “Axis of Evil” countries but fail to mention another dissenting country: Israel?

CNN interviews talking heads about whether or not Zelenskyy’s query to Vance was an “insult” and “disrespectful”. Why is the media parsing yesterday’s shocking and deeply disgraceful ambush of Zelenskyy as a normal event?

This photo is fascinating to me for two reasons: 1. Vance, hoping to be the true inheritor of chaos, being a complete clone of Trump down to the length of that blood red tie, and 2. Marco Rubio’s body language speaking volumes with his closed, dejected posture and his sad dog expression.

Ok, let’s see…an avocado from Mexico costs us $1 before Trump’s 25% tariff and $1.25 after. Republicans now want to offset tax cuts for the very rich using Trump’s tariffs. How is this not a tax on consumers to benefit the outrageously wealthy? #TheInsurrectionIsOngoing

Patrimonialism - a style of government where a ruler has absolute power and controls all aspects of the state. It's based on personal loyalty and connections, rather than formal rules.

Musk wants Social Security to be run by AI. “Dear U.S. Citizen and/or person, Just as George Washington, while crossing the Mississippi River in his superyacht, threw all his cash into the water, we have determined that your SS payment will be reduced by 123.54%. Have a wonderful day & God Bless.”

European educational institutions are leaving Shitter (X) in droves. Four Spanish universities being the latest. NOT A SINGLE U.S. College or University has left, more than likely due to fears of reprisals. THIS is why we have (had?) Congressional oversight to root out this kind of corruption.
