@dicknixon.bsky.social Mr. President, do you think Sherod Brown or Tim Ryan will run in the OH Senate special election?

Poll Finds Majority Of Americans Would Support Wind Turbines If They Sliced Deli Meat As Well theonion.com/poll-fi...

@dicknixon.bsky.social Mr. President, I wonder what your thoughts are on Tim Ryan from Ohio. Would he be someone that could take the national stage for the Dems? I hope all is well with you sir and I'm delighted you are on BlueSky.

From a desk calendar my wife gave me for Christmas: "You can't judge people only by how they treat you. The true test of character is how they treat those they don't like or need." A true indicator of goodness, and leadership.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

I didn't agree with the decision to not endorse in the presidential election, but at least I could connect the dots with the reasoning--even though I disagreed. Censoring satire as to not hurt the feelings of the owner is something that cannot be explained in any way, shape or form. 2/2

I just cancelled my subscription to the @washingtonpost.com for the second time. I recently went back after they reached out, but after the censorship of a satirical cartoon I don't see how they can ever right the ship. I'm getting a subscription to @theatlantic.com 1/2

www.thenation.com/article/soci... Wrote a remembrance of the great Dodgers pitching legend Fernando Valenzuela who passed away this week before the Dodgers were due to play the \Yankees in the World Series. I also ask if the embrace of Fernando felt in 1981, would even exist in today's climate

"Microsoft told the news organizations that as of July, it employed 417 people in its Washington data centers. In 2023, Microsoft avoided paying nearly $68.4 million in taxes for those data centers ... [T]hat would amount to about $164,000 per job from just one year of the tax break."

@mitchellepner.bsky.social Mr. Epner, I thought I'd ask a trivial legal question to change the subject. On Law&Order, when they say Part xxx, what are they referring to?

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

South Minneapolis has a vibe

Republicans aren’t negotiating from a position of strength. Because Joe Biden has a de facto veto over their veto of aid to Ukraine. It’s a classification for older weaponry: “Excess Defense Articles."

We've reached the part of the campaign where Trump destroys Nikki Haley's career and she then thanks him for it.

My hunch is that 2024 will be the year when the AI industry is visited by the Ghost of Napster. AI evangelists keep insisting that old copyright law is going to have to bend to accommodate new technology. They have that backward. (My latest, at Foreign Policy): foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/31/a...

AJAX gave TEN HAAG to MAN UTD. After which they gave ANTONY to MAN UTD as well. Later they gave ONANA to MAN UTD. You know, there's a saying that.... A PROBLEM SHARED is a PROBLEM SOLVED. And that is why AJAX decided to share their PROBLEMS with MAN UTD.🤣🤣

Stopped at a gas station today in rural Nebraska and they had a giant selection of craft beers and a display of CBD balms. The TV at the pumps was showing La Liga soccer highlights. Where is the David Brooks column about this prime example of Real America

When Birmingham City hired Wayne Rooney they were in 5th place. Wayne Rooney has a 15% win percentage as Birmingham City manager. Just 9 points gained from a possible 39. They are now 19th in the Championship and have won two games out of their last 10.

Ooooooh. Nice.

No mercy from Aston Villa fans 😬
