I keep saying the evangelism for AI is more religious than secular and people keep looking at me like I'm loopy

I've just found a clip of a wild bald eagle being weighed and can't stop laughing XD

DRM-free books have worked great. People who want to support me with a purchase support me. People who do not want to support me with a purchase will not be dissuaded by DRM. DRM is basically security theater for electronic files.

look, if you're a journalist covering the Trump admin, it is extremely cringe for you either to not know or to pretend you don't know who marisa kabas is stop embarrassing yourselves / your outlet and just credit her

How much can one doll cost? Five dollars?

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Macron shook one hand.

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

Wise words from AOC @aoc.bsky.social

If Dem politicians had really believed he was a fascist, why didn't they have a plan in place after inauguration that wasn't lay down & play dead? ALSO you all were alive when they were LEAKING to the press that Indivisible, Move On, and the *groups* could kick rocks. www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d...

One of my friends is an administrator at Diné and she posted this link to their Fire Fund: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/...

Honestly absolutely hilarious. Gonna go check with Al Sharpton, the king of the diverse. 😂

BREAKING: A federal judge finds Trump’s order banning transgender people from getting accurate passports is likely unconstitutional. The court ordered the State Department to allow correct gender markers for our clients as we continue to argue until this order is blocked for everyone.

Star trek had a lot of hard lines over the years, but this remains the fucking hardest

I keep thinking about a guy I dated seriously for several years in my early 20s. We talked about marriage but he didn’t want kids. He said he couldn’t “bring kids into this world.” I went on to have kids, he did not. I love my kids to the depths of my soul. And I think he was right.

It is legit incredible to watch the Wall Street Journal OPINION section be ahead of the Democratic Party.

The way I SCREAMED when he cut that woman off and said "we don't care." Rousing stuff. Delicious.

BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds district court order that the Trump administration "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was improperly sent to El Salvador. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ Vrbo (Expedia Group) "Vrbo is deepening our commitment to diversity and inclusion" Meanwhile, Airbnb co-founder and Board member Joe Gebbia sits on Tesla Board and works for Elon Musk's DOGE.

Bob Iger and Disney gave in to Trump over DEI horseshit, rolled over and started pandering to MAGA, and the thanks they get is the death of the billion-dollar Marvel CGI machine. EVERY businessman that has tried to "make a deal to appease Trump" ends up twice as fucked in the end

Just a yearly refresher, don't buy from Stickermule, no matter their stupid sales, their owners are pieces of shit.

I don't often get excited about shows. I am EXCITED about this show. Please, please let it not suck!

"The show-within-a-show stars John Cho, Jack McBrayer, Clark Gregg, and DeWanda Wise, sporting outrageous hairstyles and costumes that make the stylings of A Flock of Seagulls look like business casual." oh my God they're doing Sanctuary Moon, say thank you Apple TV+

This will forever be my favorite.

Over 1,000 protesters against the Trump/Musk regime today in Loveland, Colorado. I am not sure I’d’ve believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself.

Former farm kid and current ag scientist here. This checks out. No notes.

In my day we just had a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac, and we liked it.

Nation Could Have Sworn Russell Brand Was Already Convicted Sex Offender

Let’s make April 5 a kind of Liberation Day for sane-minded American people.

Gabe Evans supports Trump’s tariff chaos, raising costs on hardworking families. I’m focused on real solutions. Lower costs. Better jobs. A stable future. Because Colorado families deserve leadership grounded in lived experience—not political theater.

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

💥 NEW by me: Levi's Board of Directors defends DEI, tells shareholders to vote on April 23. Levi's Board: “we believe in the strong business case for a diverse and inclusive workforce... it is a competitive advantage and serves as a driver of business results.” www.thequeenzone.com/levis-shareh...

It's apparently an @thebandcake.bsky.social morning. Woke up with "Frank Sinatra" stuck in my head for unknown reasons, so listened to it in the car while taking the kid to school, then just left the album playing. Dropped the kid off, went get coffee, and they're playing "Fashion Nugget". 🤷‍♂️
