This whole shitshow is the fault of John Roberts and his cabal of political activists masquerading as impartial justices. If they didn’t expect all this, maybe it is worse. Because then they are as stupid as they are conflicted and political. Pretty terrifying.

A repost for Randy Rhoads birthday yesterday. RIP. Tragic death in ‘82. Look it up, the story is nuts. Died trying to buzz the tour bus in an airplane.

Paul Weiss either lost their fucking mind or Trump is just lying his ass off again. I’d guess a lot of both, but for Paul Weiss to not know they are basically joining a criminal conspiracy to enforce unlawful retribution is off the charts batshit. How could they expect anything else?

So. Much. Winning.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Jupiter's volcanic moon Io. Just because.

Beautiful encapsulation of the ignorance and incompetence of DOGE. Read this. Basically, government efficiency must be stopped or their false narrative is exposed.

One of the first songs I asked my guitar instructor to teach me when I was learning. He wrote it out for me based on this video. I still play this version all the time. youtu.be/vxqekFB9lZs?...

WI Badgers look sharp today in the NCAA men's bball tourney. Great balance today. My earlier concerns appear unwarranted. This game ain't over, but looking good on all fronts.

Rural folks will be especially impacted by this cruel idiot. The fact that they brought this upon themselves by voting Trump gives me no satisfaction, but it should be raised as a point of fact at every opportunity so they don't continue voting for people who don't care if they live or die.

STRATEGERY! (A tragedy)

I’m feeling a little environmental embrittlement myself these days.

Little known fact. Camp Randall is not named after me. 😆 Badger Nation! Seriously, if you are in the area in the fall, go to a Badger game in Camp Randall and experience this. It is so fun to be in the middle of it...every single home game since 1993 or so. youtu.be/SoXHXLYTAgs?...

Poseur.

Bet you didn't know this factoid about Judge Crawford. JUDGE CRAWFORD FOR WI SUPREME COURT!!!

Our Wisconsin Badger UW Law (me) / Michigan State Spartan Ph.D (she) family gets heated on sport. Six years in married grad housing in the 80's made the Spartans my #2 fave, while three years in Madison early 90's hardened her anti-Badger Spartitude. Both WI natives, 42 years together. Go figure. 🤷

Judge Crawford (VOTE CRAWFORD! WI) has Wisconsin beating Marquette in the championship.😆 Hahahahahahahaha....of course she does. GO BADGERS.

SCONNIE! Tony has always been an optimist. BE LIKE TONY.

💯 agree.

Fuck Zuck. Zuck Sucks.

From ROE to DOBBS, the GOP never said "nothing we can do" or "our hands are tied." They just applied brute force until they prevailed. They have prevailed, for now. Dem leadership: comply in advance is not a strategy. Politics is rarely three dimensional chess. Politics is about brute force.

Lying liars who lie.

Morning break. Another favorite. Such a splendid version of the song. Nearly perfect, methinks. The Glen Hansard/Swell Season record shop and coffee shop live appearances are just so solid. The way this one builds is remarkable; the band is so dialed in to the vibe. youtu.be/rUMt6rMMSZE?...

The Trump Administration has not undertaken any action that has demonstrably improved the lives of ordinary Americans. Almost makes one think that isn't their goal. 😉

My Baroque playlist is not calming. That is all. Carry on.

"Know when to walk away...know when to RUN." Past time to apply some Kenny Rogers procedural rule action.

"Flood faces rare HURRICANE in Nebraska" I'd say.

Damn right I'd wave a Canadian flag at a town hall. Infuriated at the treatment of our closest neighbor and ally, who we have shared so much with for so long. Truly abhorrent. I grew up in northern WI near the MN border, where we share so much culture and tradition with our northern neighbors.

I gotta admit I'm a bit worried about my law school alma mater Wisconsin Badgers men's NCAA tournament game in Denver today. Playing at elevation after 4 games in 4 days at Big 10 tournament. Tough Montana team. Not a great draw relative to seed line. LET'S GO BADGERS! 'SCONNIE!

Ol' John Prine had it right, you GOP pricks... "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore" youtu.be/iE7lVN07Q-Y?...
