I think @owillis.bsky.social likes to point this out: In DC Comics, when Lex Luthor ran for president, he divested from LexCorp because the idea of him winning an election without doing that was obviously just crazy.

People who come to this country are not criminals. They come just as my parents came - with their best hopes and their skills, drawn by the American dream- the opportunity to make a better life in the land of promise. That America is now being stolen from us all.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Elon has enough money to solve world hunger and the climate crisis, and still be a billionaire. He could be a fucking hero. Instead, he’s… whatever he is.

I started reading "The Rise And Fall Of The Roman Empire" today, and I have to say that I did not expect it to be this engaging. I didn't even expect i would finish it, but midway through the first chapter i can't imagine putting it down.

I wrote today on the Beatitudes in Luke - where Jesus says "Woe to you who are rich." This is one of Jesus' clearest, unadorned remarks in the gospels. It is amazing how creative churchgoers can be modifying, adding to, reinterpreting the plain words of Jesus: "What he really meant was..."

The world - our allies and our enemies - know now beyond doubt the United States can't be trusted. It can't be trusted by our allies, and it can't be taken seriously by our enemies. The GOP has already accomplished that much, and no simple change in administration will alter that.

I've been struck by, and keep returning to, this quote from Myron Medcalf in the MN StarTrib, 9 Feb 2025: "To those who've rebuked diversity, equity, and inclusion, which part of bias, unfairness, and exclusion appeals most to you?"

Nobody crashes planes like Donald Trump. Big, beautiful planes, just falling right out of the sky, getting boinked by helicopters, sliding off runways, many other things. It’s a big, beautiful thing. Many are saying.

So basically, the Department of Health and Human Services is finished. If you want to stay safe from food recalls, viruses, and whatever else is coming—better start looking elsewhere for reliable information.

I had seven #cats a week ago. One of them, who was sickly from the time she was born, died last week. None of the other cats have been the same since. All have changed their behavior. Less social. More introverted. I don't know how to comfort them
