Well this is off to a great start! Huizenga calls Nina Jankowicz, minority witness, a censorship czarina, in his opening. Rep Kamlager-Dove, ranking member, calls Taibbi a serial sexual harasser and enters articles into the record calling him a "misogynist a-hole" chicagoreader.com/blogs/twenty...
Twenty years ago, in Moscow, Matt Taibbi was a misogynist asshole—and possibly worse - Chicago Reader
The Rolling Stone writer and author of I Can't Breathe is answering for harassment he and Mark Ames bragged about in their 2000 memoir.

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.

I saw elsewhere that Elon posted X will be banning people who criticize Trump et al. Can anyone still watching there confirm? Just as I was thinking maybe we should go back there (or go there, I was never much for Twitter) to reach even a minority of on-the-fence folx.

Cooperative nail grinding with Kronos. If he bumps the dremel, I touch a foot; if he stays, I isolate the nail; if he stays, I bring the dremel close; if he stays, I grind briefly and treat. If he pulls his foot away I also treat, often off the towel to see how fast he comes back to play again.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

It's interesting timing that every single service seems to be kicking off a big AI campaign just as all the owners barnacle themselves to Trump's ass and Trump seeks partnership and investment in AI. Today I turned off or diminished how it is used (hopefully) on every account I could.

Today we introduced an actual toothbrush instead of just the finger I was using to last time. I started with a finger cot and then decided to try a handled brush. You can see slight hesitation the first time I present it, but on the next rep that’s gone. (Hey, @skylight.social can I test your app?)
