I know a few things about museums, technology, user experience, design, science, art, and life. I play at the intersection of them all. (he/him)
I presume that it'll be only a few days before the national guard (armed) is deployed to schools across the nation. Or maybe just in the problematic blue states. There's certainly no other method of 'control' that could be helpful in these circumstances. </sarcasm>

The very small part that amuses me is that clearly nobody in this administration has seen how quickly museums create exhibits if they're trying to be done by2026, for the 250th. Sure, the 'content' will be Grok-derived, but the RFP processes for the exhibit design and fabricator? yeah, no.

For all the performative hand-wringing about Texas by the GOP, don't forget that Oregon Republican lawmakers fled the state multiple times in 2019/20 to stop legislation. Aren't TX Dems just following the example of their OR GOP legislative peers? Too soon? www.npr.org/2020/02/26/8...
Oregon GOP Lawmakers' Disappearance Will Block Climate Change Bill
Republican lawmakers in Oregon have walked off the job. They're refusing to meet in the state capitol as the Democratic-controlled legislature seeks to take up a climate change bill.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Following today's massive "No Kings" march in Portland, federal agents have begun firing tear gas and less-lethal munitions at a crowd of roughly 500 people at the ICE facility on Macadam Avenue. Stay tuned to the Mercury for the latest.

lol, what a wee crowd, especially compared to the No Kings march I just got home from that was over 1.5 miles long with people here in Portland, OR.
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

I guess what I donʻt understand is that if Trump is such good dealmaker and friends with Xi and Putin (and can end a war in a day or something), why does he think we need Greenland for security and protection? From what? Arenʻt we—according to him—already safe from China and Russia?

Love it when a museum has WiFi so you can buy tickets for a special exhibit while you’re in the gallery. Love it way less when they block email traffic (or the WiFi is so slow) that you can’t get the email delivery of said tickets.
