Its good that Senator Kelly is going to legally fight the Trump administration's revenge tactics against him.
But why do people want him as president? He voted for Trump's nominations, voted to remove Tricare for some military families under Biden, strongly supported Israel, and is bad on unions.

More thing, especially online, should default to opt-in instead of opt-out.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

The people responsible for J6 would like you to remember it--if you remember it at all--as a "riot at the Capitol." It was a legal plot, and this OA deep dive on the lawyers responsible is one of my all-time favorites
One of the best ways to commemorate 1/6/2021 is to learn as much as you can about the plot behind it and be sure that everyone around you understands it too. Last year's J6 episode went deep on the too often overlooked complicity of lawyers in the insurrection

The reality is that the second Trump got replaced by some liberal, let's use Newsom as an example, the USA would stay on course with what it's currently doing and has been doing and you'd see comments like "he's a class act" "this is how you do diplomacy".

The ethos for dealing with assholes when I joined was to block and move on. People should do that more.
Exhausting levels of discourse about "can Bsky grow" and "this is why Bsky can't grow" and I'm just going to say I have never been seriously dogpiled on here because every time I see someone posting something deranged I block them, same thing I used to do with Twitter. It makes for a nice time!

Personally I do think it’s very cool when you spend 2 years working on a project about a sport you love and then some guy takes the transcripts of it to spit out an AI script for himself to read over a YouTube video for money. Thanks David!!!!!
Love seeing my friend @johncullen.bsky.social’s hard work on Broomgate get chewed up and shit out into some dickhead’s video essay for morons. But hey at least he linked to the podcast he stole in the description!

It’s been nearly two decades since I played 40K last, but this type of player always annoyed me. Good to see someone beating this tactic.

NPR back on their Gulf War cheerleading bullshit, if they ever actually left it.
What does the U.S. capture of the Venezuelan leader mean politically, and what should Americans make of what happened? Here are some takeaways as the dust settles on Caracas.
7 takeaways from Trump's incursion into Venezuela
President Trump says the U.S. will now "run" Venezuela after capturing its leader. Here's how the politics could play out at home.

The amount of after-the-fact consent manufacturing, shameless regime stenography, and gutless both-sidesing on every single media outlet right now is genuinely worse than 2001-2002. Absolutely pathetic. We have no journalists. We have no opposition party.

Speaking as Gen-X, while I am capable of all of this things, I haven’t needed to do any of them this millennium. Kids these days can’t thatch a roof or use a rock to shape a stone axe either, but time marches forward regardless.
It's 2026.
Things many American school kids probably don't know how to do:
* Dial a rotary telephone
* Tell time from an analog clock
* Read or write cursive
* Decipher Roman numerals
* Navigate with a paper map or use a compass
* Balance a checkbook

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons, but in the very least you need a beer.
