Life is an open-ended journey, absurd, shot through with death; best try to make something out of the ride.

Significant evidence suggests that anti-Tesla protests that encourage physical violence are being driven by bad actors aiming to accelerate violence and martial law. The public should engage in economic boycott and anti-Tesla information operations, but AVOID physical engagement.

The thing I love about this version (which is obv available on streaming services) is that the meaning of the lyrics changes when it’s sung by a 60 year old compared to when it’s sung by a 25 year old.
In June 2017 a-ha recorded a live acoustic album during two performances in Giske, Norway. A couple of hundred people were lucky enough to be present on those special nights…

Which kind of MAGA are you? Are you “China is bad” MAGA or “Give me my Chinese spyware” MAGA? Are you “immigrants are bad” MAGA or “we need more immigrants in our tech sector” MAGA? Are you “cut taxes” MAGA or “don’t touch entitlements” MAGA?

The arrogance. The thinly veiled anger. The hostility toward any Democratic senator who questioned his personal failures. The refusal to say he would refuse to carry out illegal Trump orders.

Pete Hegseth doesn’t belong anywhere near the leadership of Defense. Will any GOP senator agree?

Senator Kaine’s line of questioning is brutal. All Hegseth can say is stuff like that’s hypothetical or I’m saved. He’s unfit. A full report on his background is essential before the Senate votes.

Folks think Musk and Trump are engaged in politics, but this is a military operation being executed out of Moscow. If you are playing politics right now, you literally have brought a butter knife to a gun fight.

They’re planning a heist in plain sight.
“This is an enormous heist. They’re just backing the truck up to the government in front of all of us. A massive bailout to the crypto world,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the GOP crypto bill.

We need honest, good journalism. Not sycophants.
"It is possible that The Times and The Post were planning a wall-to-wall coverage of the Hunter Biden trials, or maybe, and this is more likely, their anger was a demonstration of their willingness to echo and appease Trump."

"House Republicans have revived HR 9495, which would give Trump power to shut down nonprofits he doesn't like under the guise of fighting “terrorism.”
52 House Dems shamefully joined the GOP in voting for it last week.
Every Dem should vote against this authoritarian power-grab."

In the weeks since the election, we’ve begun to see just how far corporate media will go to appease the man who, for nine years on an almost daily basis, has maligned the profession of journalism and put individual journalists in danger. (Sorry about the picture):

Yes, “I’ll stop war” means “I’ll give Ukraine to Russia.”

We all know what Trump means. We just pretend we don’t.

Pay attention to Oklahoma.

Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.

Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
