also I rode an elevator once w/ Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto; I love telling this story because it was the morning & I was leaving the building for, uh, a morning-after walk home & all I could think was that I'd just had a handful of potato chips for breakfast & this is an Iron Chef here next to me

you couldn't pay me to go back to Twitter, & I think that's key: people urging everybody to go back to Twitter & abandon Bluesky are literally paid to be on Twitter -- it's part of their job social media is my entertainment, not my job; not rocket science to see why I'm here, not there

JFC. I know Nick knows this, but if anyone else isn't sure: no, Governors don't have the power to remove and replace U.S. Senators. Not for this reason, not for any reason. What a weird thing for the article to suggest as an option.

Philadelphia's got a pantheon so I imagine your pick would depend on which musical divinity you worship -- to choose one, I want to say that people from various musical sects may find common ground in the fact that Bowie recorded a number of albums & live performances, including music videos, there

shouting at law enforcement & military is not violence, & it's not civil disobedience; it's peaceful & it's 100% legal activity under the 1st Amendment civil disobedience = deliberately doing something illegal in order to get arrested -- easy enough to urge someone to do that from your keyboard

LOL I'm feeling called out I'm not saying "never march onto the freeway"; it's more, I've marched around the block a few times myself & (1) it's objectively v. dangerous & (2) it's never anybody I recognize from the pre-march meetings who leads the charge down the on-ramp bsky.app/profile/opad...

when you march onto the freeway: - law enforcement prioritizes opening up the highway ASAP & gets aggressive - drivers haaaaaate it & get aggressive - demonstrators get hurt - news gets clickbait for $$ god bless these folks but I always wonder who first shouted "let's get onto the freeway"

I've been calling these "Pope fences" since I first saw them used at the 2015 World Meeting of Families in Philly near impossible to push over due to the length of the base components perpendicular to the panels, but not impossible to scale, which a handful of people did at DNC 2016

As it is that time of year again, here is W/C L.E. Healy's wonderful response to the Air Ministry's reminder, hours into the landings in Normandy, that 2TAF's Hawker Typhoon Bomphoons were not cleared to drop 1000lbs bombs. The Canadian Tiffys had already dropped 48 of them that morning... #dday

I'm 2 degrees of separation from Yarvin because of a particular online community from mumblety years ago, and just about everybody I still know from that community is WTF-horrified at Yarvin's ascension and influence, though perhaps not hugely surprised at his philosophical endpoint
