call me annoyingly curious, but almost everything interests me (not really concerned with asparagus). i have an opinion on everything and dislike purposeful ignorance.

it sure seems like most of confirmed Trump cabinet members lied a lot in confirmation meetings (and they aren't even one month in). @podsaveamerica.crooked.com

the question everyone should ask every time they read about something DOGE/Trump has "cut" is "does this make my life better?" 'cause i'm fairly sure even if you voted for Trump you didn't want to "make life worse again".

The degree to which X has become a propaganda cesspool is frightening. In any Ukraine-related thread, the fraction of hardcore pro-Russia accounts is what, 90%? 95%? And the large majority aren't even actual people.

Trump wants Ukraine to "reimburse" the US to the tune of half a trillion $ (to note, the US didn't spend anywhere this much on Ukraine, most of the help came in the form of inventory slated for replacement, basically free). Other countries should take note. They'll soon become blackmail targets too

I feel like my Burn Book was not burny enough for these toxic loons. Lucky the paperback comes out in March with some new scorching material. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-ally-p...

you do not have to follow the advice, but suffice it to say anything @harper.lol and @jlaniersky.bsky.social have to offer about navigating the social media world is worth it. ponder.

"I had up to that point been pretty cynical about human nature." the truth is we Hope folk often glance off of hopelessness - others and our own - as we get bludgeoned with zero sum and individualistic attitudes. the trick is to recognize is is not just yuor battle to fight.

yes. i always remember the story Don Henley says about living downstairs from Jackson Browne who would spend hours playing parts of songs over and over trying to get them right. that's writing.

They want us to memory hole tearing down the American flag to fly Trump’s.

it is going to be an incredibly painful, and stupid, 4 years in the good ole USA, but not every other country will just laugh at us (and Trump), but rather they see the long view - he is a lame duck president.

my friends at Dope Coffee @dopecoffee.bsky.social , after years of grinding it out, are finally gaining traction. they stuck by their idea, their vision, and relentless focus on great coffee, and are seeking partners in their progress. great people. great idea. great product. @mcuban.bsky.social
