The most well-documented illegal quid pro quo in the entire political career of Donald Trump is him covering up the brutal murder of a Washington Post journalist for Mohammed bin Salman and immediately sending the Trump Organization into Saudi Arabia to get deals with MBS worth hundreds of millions

It’s always people with nothing to say who call their friends to chat in the middle of a workday.
I hear, “oh nothing, just thought I’d call.” more than any thing else 😆

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

The people of Chicago won
Trump, Kristi Noem and ICE lost
Not only did Greg Bovino and his agents leave the city in disgrace
A judge ruled that they must release as many as 615 unjustly detained immigrants
Plus-they must stop pressuring immigrants to voluntarily leave

This would be an absolute horror show in this country, but I’ve always pondered about the idea of tiered government owned housing available in all neighborhoods. A crown corporation for profit venture. An apt where it’s expensive to buy would reflect that, but maintenance etc would be centralized.
There's not a shortage in housing and that narrative plays into the Republicans "illegal immigration" fear talk. We have approx 330m people in the USA (incl kids). There are approx 400-450m bedrooms in this country. We have a shortage of homeowners and an oversupply of renters.

The people at CBECI were kind enough to send me a copy of their updated Bitcoin power consumption data
At the end of 2024, Bitcoin's total consumption for 2024 *did* end up matching that of Pakistan. 2024 saw the biggest jump in power consumption ever. Absolutely wild stuff ->

It’ll never not give me the ick when advocates center community conversations around themselves.
Long term, their work end up being done w/ a narrow lens and we are left with sanitized bullshit like “white lady feminism”.
Advocacy is more often than not shutting up and handing the mic to others.

Earlier this year I bought a couple books and a few vintage maps. Quality of vintage maps was excellent (one awaits framing!), and the books were very well received.
If my endorsement means anything (I’m just a person, no skin in the game) know I feel confident recommending @mapcenter.com. 😎

I just did $1,002 in in-person sales this weekend. That's more than the Map Center has ever made in a single weekend while I've been the owner. I had hundreds of folks come through and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
Doing my damnedest working through the weekend and making progress.

I’ve finished the cooking/portioning and packaging to re-stock my freezer, strapped down the greenhouse (winds like whoa) and switched the sheets to flannel.
Was going to tear out the last of the tomato plants but there’s some green ones on there I’ll leave for the birds. No rush yet.

The relentlessly opportunistic Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn't had a change of heart, much less politics. She is just literate enough to read the writing on the wall. She knows that Trump is damaged goods now. So she may have taken to singing like a bird, but she's really just a canary in a coal mine.

One can’t help out wonder on how many levels HRC was correct about T- being P-‘s puppet, E-‘s in and out status, and what the control dynamic of those relationships truly are.
The emotional outbursts and public car fights make a lot more sense when romance is recognized as being a factor.

A fun note to people complimenting anyone for something they post.
“You do that thing so well. How lovely this is!” is a compliment. Its intention is only to praise.
“You do that thing so much better than (x person)” is not a compliment. It’s an insult to (x person) cloaked in a compliment.

The fella loves shepherds pie but hates mashed potatoes. (🤯)
So I made some shallow scallop potatoes, letting them bake while making the meat mixture, then dolloped that on top of the scallops, baked some more.
Total win.
