Virulent misogyny, ableism and false witness aside, that is just not how mania works y’all.

Anecdotal personal experience at play here but I love a dog named dog. That’s all you need. That’s a dog kinda dog.

How is it that Facebook *still* has not learned not to take notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy

2020 vintage Titan dog. He was still learning to be a good boy. Had a violent streak from his first four years.

I saw a rolling DeLorean today, adorned with their business’ stickers. Basically a retro cybertruck, take your DeLorean and get to a convention. :P

I like when you see Cheetos in a commercial and someone has poured them into a big glass bowl because that’s really what you’re looking for in your Cheetos experience is to have a dish too big for the dishwasher that needs to be cleaned

Next week begins what I believe will be a big 30 days for the newsletter/Better Offline. Monday's story is a monster - a joint podcast-newsletter generative AI nuke. A surprise Better Offline guest in mid March. The Aftermath episode. Jamie Loftus and Phil. I wrote 8500 words in the last two days.

Trump is nominating a retired Air National Guard 3-star to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Highest major command was Deputy Commander, CENTSOC www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

truly incredible

This should be a huge red flag to countries other than just Ukraine. Predatory weaponization of interdependence is something the US can probably exploit in the short term but the rest of the world will, rightfully, avoid American solutions if that's our modus operandi

It’s worth studying the slaughter unleashed by ex Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. He killed up to 30,000 poor people in a futile attempt to wipe out drugs & his main communications vector was Facebook. Watch Nobel laureate @mariaressa.bsky.social explain how it was used to silence opposition.

My congressman was supposed to transmit a community meeting today that I RSVP’d for too late to get a seat a seat. (Very unusual.) But it doesn’t appear they broadcast it live and I haven’t found it, yet. :/

They would like to be allowed outside, to briefly inspect the grill.

Morning, all: We remember what happened to USPS under Trump last time. Now, he's planning on taking control. Please be aware. Yes, CALL YOUR REPS.

find an uglier cybertruck than the one I just peeped challenge

Polite little bird. :D I feel bad about the photoflash.

Man what the fuck did we do lmao look at this shit

smoked the house up searing a pot roast that i'm gonna share with the dog #girlproblems

They offered me a role as an emergency operations coordinator and I agreed to it before remembering that most of the fun in working hurricanes is being allowed to drive all over despite curfew. I’ll be tethered to a radio, computer and several telephones next time. :/

Everything must grow forever at all times. Such is the Rot Economy. Games cannot be "kind of popular" or "profitable," they must always be insanely profitable. If you aren't growing you're dying www.wheresyoured.at/the-rot-econ...

also shit like this is a reminder why flight attendant's unions have the power to collapse this country. they are critical first responders. nothing moves without them and when shit goes wrong they save so many lives.

me trying to finish writing a history book in under the wire before all government archives, libraries, databases, and FOIA offices get shut down to pay for billionaire tax cuts

Olive dog right now. Rain drove us home early while walking.

“her death was likely related to complications of paraplegia associated with the Columbine shooting”

nobody's shot that guy yet?

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Historically, suddenly forcing massive numbers of highly educated and well paid people into unexpected mass unemployment has not led to *stability*

Ms Dog I'm trying to read/look at my phone
