I need some Target investors to try shopping at some of these locked down stores. If you lock down everything, you are only making the customer miserable. And what’s more, you staff about 2 people to unlock anything. Target won’t exist in 10 years. ….First world problems.

If you can find a reason to hurt, people can find a reason to hurt you. This post is about the United States. #uspolitics

Assad flees Syria, terrorist bomb in The Hague, Trump returning to power, drones over New Jersey. As the world turns. #geopolitics

Nothing kills the vibe in a silent movie when you realize the snow the character just got covered in is… Asbestos. #movies

Decommissioned, but a funny sign nonetheless. #nuclear

As guy a guy born and raised in New Jersey, I'm no fan of Chris Christie. However, I think his comments about Charles Kushner will be darkly hilarious. "What do you think I think about him? I put him in jail!" #newjersey #politics

Four scenarios for Trumpomuskovia, the musko-trumpified America snyder.substack.com/p/trumpomusk...

Whenever I go past the Bedminster, NJ office parks, I wonder how many units have foreign SIGINT ops (Trump Bedminster is about a half mile down the road). Malpractice by the US intel community if they don’t maintain *very* good relations with those landlords. #geopolitics #intelcommunity #sigint

I believe that AI will make further obvious the gap between artisan and artist, and will eventually render extinct the former, at least in the digital space. #AI #artificialintelligence #Art

Paradox of “resistance”. I don’t intend to resist in many major/outward ways to this admin (US), because my chief care at this point in my life is to my parents, and it would destroy them if I were jailed/hurt. I hope other people *do* resist, for my benefit. Probably cowardice.

Yep. This is the example I always use “A Gallup poll from 1966 found that 66 percent of Americans had an unfavorable view of Martin Luther King, Jr.”

The elites don't want you to know this but the ICS 705 SCIF construction standards are public, you can turn your living room into a SCIF if you want

We’re in a really dangerous place: - The system runs on norms, and democracy depends on them - One party radically rejects norms and revels in transgression - The other party hasn’t figured out a response beyond stammering “Uphold the norms” - Voters don’t care about abstract norms and proceduralism

I still don't fully believe all of - *gestures broadly* - is happening, but I'm getting a little queasy... www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n... #geopolitics

I stutter. Joe Biden Stutters. Biden showed me that a person who stutters can DO THIS. He was my hero. I still have my political heroes - I guess I'm a fool - but Biden ain't one of them. Garland and Biden have given the United States over to destruction.
