“The dinosaurs had no agency. We do.” Some thoughts on an interesting (and not entirely pessimistic) talk by @michaelemann.bsky.social and @gsiexeter.bsky.social on our fragile climate and what can we learn from changes in the past. sarahfinch.co.uk?p=147

Good lineup. 🤩

Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

DOGE is red tape: adding layers of unnecessary review on services they know nothing about in order to slow down services

This is what lack of education looks like.

Start Collecting! Pass It On!

Like prices never came back down since COVID and shipping stoppages it caused. I'd be more loyal as a customer if I could see the store wasn't gouging me.

Thank you Greyhound!

In a case like this, you cuff the suspect in the front. Want to know why they declined to do so? Because they knew this was a photo op. These people are truly sick.

Here’s the waste.

It’s like MAGA can’t decide what to hate more - the US Constitution or the New Testament.

Anyone in the DC area, flagging this:

The other countries should put a 100% tariff on Teslas and luxury vacations from Harlan Crow

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

104% tariffs on Chinese goods go into effect tomorrow. Let's see how Fox News is covering the story.

Americans seeking retirement or survivor benefits from the Social Security Administration will no longer be able to apply over the phone, starting next week.

The ban's passage through the Senate is a victory for the lieutenant governor, who named it his top priority for 2025.

Like every Dem, I have endless gripes about Dem messaging, but we have a genuine, longstanding problem of people literally not believing what Republicans are doing. They don't even believe what Republicans say they'll do!

The Pentagon erased Jackie Robinson’s Army service from its website—just like it’s erasing Black Troops and DEI across the board. This isn’t a glitch. This is deliberate. They want to rewrite history. We’re not letting them. MORE: www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

@andyrichter.co Something familiar here? I was too chicken to start it. 😬

Such a small petty man: Trump removed a mural of Anthony Fauci from NIH which read, “Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.”
