No gallows. No calls for violence against elected officials. No storming the building and defecating in the halls. No beating and bear-spraying police officers. No stupid costumes. This is how it’s done. More of this.

The deliberate cruelty of this administration isn’t a result of political beliefs. Their political beliefs were invented to justify their deliberate cruelty.

The troubling thing is that Trump doesn’t drink. This is Trump’s behavior stone cold sober (if you don’t count accusations of snorting Adderall).

Voters: So where are those cheap eggs you promised? Trump: Sorry, no can do. Too hard. But here’s something better. We’re going annex Canada, then invade Greenland & Panama. Oh, and change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

It hurts just a little more that it’s the Washington Post—the publication that had the courage to bring down Nixon—that’s kissing the ass of a career criminal, convicted felon, rapist, and grifter. Democracy dies in darkness, indeed.

I would not take a new Islamist regime with ties to terrorism at its word. But if new leadership in Syria turns out to be genuinely pragmatic rather than ideological, it could mean a historic change in the prospects for a more stable and peaceful Middle East. www.npr.org/2024/12/27/g...

It’s not good news when foreign enemies are so embedded in our telecom system that our government has essentially given up on weeding them out.

Measuring Trump appointees by fitness for the role misses the point. It doesn't matter to him whether his choices will be effective because he doesn't care about the country. He wants to prove that he has absolute power by showing that his lackeys in congress will follow his most absurd demands.

Election denier and notorious liar (Kari Lake) becoming Director of the Voice of America is such an obvious metaphor for where we have landed that it feels like the 2024 script writer just slid it under the door, said F-ck it, and decided to take the rest of the year off.

When even the women in your administration are sexual harassers, you’ve really gone above and beyond.

AI peeps: What do you think of this news story about AI scheming to avoid being shut down? Is it evidence of reasoning or just following sci-fi plot lines it absorbed in its training data? economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/pa...

The US just sent a message to the new rulers of Syria.

@bsky.app has a serious problem with catfishing accounts, most featuring pictures of young Asian women. I must have blocked 25 of them in the past two days—far more than I ever got on Threads or even X. I hope you can find a solution. I like 🦋. But I’m not going to continue doing this forever.

If this were a world where justice was administered impartially, Biden pardoning his son might be objectionable. But with an incoming administration that is bragging about its intent to prosecute its political “enemies” it’s simply self defense.

Stop listening to what people say. Instead, pay attention to what they do.

Now that I’ve seen Trump’s cabinet picks, I feel deceived. I was led to believe that there were only Three Stooges.

It’s never a good thing to be ruled by oligarchs. But how did the US end up with a cast of lunatics and Batman villains as the richest people in our country?

Trump is the first GOP to win the popular vote in 20 yrs. He led his party to take the House and Senate and won every swing state. We would have called it a landslide. Minimizing a major shift in voter sentiment is dangerous because it encourages us to believe we don’t need to change our approach.

I’m not a huge Mike Tyson fan (or boxing fan for that matter), but I admire his grit at 58 years old to take on a young fighter in his prime. Unfortunately, Mother Time is, and will always be, undefeated.

First day on 🦋. Left X when it got Musk-ified. Followed some smart political and AI folks on Threads, But hated the algorithm and censorship of news. It never felt like a community. Too much engagement farming. Everyone was talking and no one was listening. Hoping this is the place.
