I'm into computers, the internet, things that go, uncouth wisecracks, and my friends. Dad / Software / Ski Instructor / Semi-pro Game Show Host / Squid. Ardent 3rd Amendment activist.
Insecure little boys giving decent guys a bad name. They have the kind of problems usually best dealt with via juice boxes and naps.

I keep seeing people talk about “upcoming elections” as if it were a certainty they’ll happen like they’ve always happened.

I think it’s a serious mistake to take elections for granted with a criminal fascist regime like this one. They won’t risk losing power.

This was the Fyre Festival catered lunch of military parades.
This was the Dashcon ball pit of military parades.
This was the Pepsi Clear of military parades.

I thought "Fyre Festival 2" would be this month's biggest, most obvious scam.

I know little about Diamond but have a vague sense that they're longtime jackwagons (probably due to some invective thrown their way by @ironspike.bsky.social, whose bullshit detector is exquisitely well-calibrated).

Inevitably what'll happen, soon, is video will appear of masked plainclothes white men yanking a woman off the street into a van, and then ICE or CBP will go "no, actually that wasn't us"

And no one will be able to figure out whether they're lying, or ever see her again.

"Papal assassination plot with the VPOTUS as the triggerman" does not pass Occam's Razor. It's just not a plausible claim.

"JD Vance is so unctuous and repellent that his mere presence is toxic to octogenarians," however, is a proposition that I'm calling "Smooth" Jimmy Apollo's Lock of the Week.

This is the anodyne commentary that Elon Musk insists must be removed even from social networks he DOESN'T own.

What a thin-skinned baby.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

I'm the lawyer for Macmillan. Contrary to Meta's statement, the arbitrator's order does not "affirm" that the book is "false and defamatory." The order makes NO finding of falsity or defamation. This is about suppressing an author's unflattering speech. Macmillan vetted the book and stands by it.

Some pretty stunning answers here from DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar in today's interview with NPR's Michel Martin, in which Edgar equates pro-Palestinian protests with terrorist activity and can't point to any crime committed by Mahmoud Khalil: npr.org/2025/03/13/n...

Looking forward to some point later this year when we've all grown accustomed to having to specify when our meals are made with "bird eggs."
