every single thing hegseth says in public reveals a bottomless pit of insecurity
When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

In other words, Judge Oldham has a sock puppet account on Bluesky, and Judge Oldham definitely searches for his name on Bluesky, which means that Judge Oldham will see your posts about him on Bluesky.
So definitely don't call Judge Oldham a Trumpian hack judge on Bluesky.

No matter how too-online you are, you are nowhere near as too-online as Republican federal appointees, judicial and executive.
Judge Oldham's call for the end of certifying questions from CA5 to state Supreme Courts includes this somewhat inexplicable shot at this here website.

If folks haven't read it, I recommend @annaleen.bsky.social's Stories are Weapons, which is unfortunately more and more relevant during this administration. When I started it, I thought, "yeah yeah, I know this." But each chapter was 🤯; well researched analysis of these tactics, recent & historical.

Give It Up, Folks: Donald Trump Will Escape Justice for Epstein Too
If he’s guilty of anything here, Trump will use the same tactics he’s always used. And, as they always have—they’ll work.

Gotta say, it’s a hard time to be a historian of medicine whose focus was pre-antiseptic / pre-vaccine era.
Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

reminder: one week to #wolfenoot 2025
Today is Wolfenoot (wolf-uh-noot), a holiday invented in 2018 by a 7-year-old boy in New Zealand.
On this day, "the Spirit of the Wolf brings and hides small gifts around the house for everyone. People who have, have had, or are kind to dogs get better gifts than anyone else."

I haven't read the novel version of 2001 since I was a kid (not really a novelization, as Clarke & Kubrick were collaborating and ACC was writing the book simultaneously), but I'm pretty sure this is more explicitly spelled out in the original book as well.
Taking a moment to realise that in the movie 2010 its revealed that HAL in 2001 goes nuts because he is asked to lie.
