“Despite judge’s order” is the line. There are no other boundaries to cross. This is the difference between a republic and a dictatorship in a single phrase and they walked over it not just knowingly, but eagerly.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

I managed to stay in bed until 12:30pm today. I woke up at 5am and nearly got up but wasn’t feeling right. Made it back to sleep until 10am and still felt like a train hit me. So, I’m going to get up now, make coffee and probably relax on the couch reading all day. Retirement ain’t so bad.

I just searched for one of my favorite (somewhat obscure) bands and found a bunch of interesting people to follow. Highly recommended. I now have some more musical ideas and bands to listen to, and it wasn’t driven by AI, Spotify or Apples “algorithm”.

I started using Openvibe a while back to bring bluesky, mastodon (and for a while threads) together. I disconnected threads because it’s FB, but I kept seeing garbage from nostr about crypto and MAGA, and I finally figured out how to turn Nostr off. Much better.

A massive story in Canada is that damn near the entire country is turning on national God Wayne Gretzky because he refuses to stand up for Canadian sovereignty due to his desire to keep getting invites to Mar A Lago. An entire country choosing dignity over star-f*cking. We could take a lesson.

I had a really good day teaching skiing today. I got assigned a group of 7-11 yr old never-evers (which can sometimes seem like a penance) but it turned out great. All the kids learned to stop and turn in about 90 minutes and we ended up doing several runs on the big lift after lunch. Pleasant!

Fact Check: "This is a Biden hangover.” Trump added $2.1 trillion to the deficit. Biden then reduced it by $942 billion. In the last 50 years, the deficit has increased by a total of $3.8 trillion under Republican presidents. Under Democrats, it’s gone down by $2.1 trillion.

I've never been a big fan of Hakeem Jeffries, and I think he's really shown he's not built for this moment. I didn't always agree with Nancy Pelosi, but the good thing about her was she'd slit your throat if you crossed her. Jeffries comes across as overly cautious and he pulls punches

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Where are all the celebrities and academics who support Trump? All I see are suck ups, racists and morons. He sure has emboldened the racists and morons in the local Facebook groups.

Is is possible to be any more delusional? Negotiate with Trump? This is extortion and in the end China and Russia will just outfox Trump and take it all anyway.
