Just an old dog living in what used to be Arizona desert

Was an engineer and coder for a living, back in the day

Now it's audio and video editing, camping, quad riding, motorcycling, and steel drums when the neighbors aren't home

Through so much of the last couple weeks of what's happening to the USA, this quote keeps coming to mind.

Did you know that major home improvement stores use license plate reader software to capture your vehicle's make, model, and color, along with the license plate, and send that data to law enforcement networks?

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism.

Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

Arizona! Do not be fooled by No Labels. We have been down this road before. Voting no labels is like voting for MAGA. MAGA=No democracy.
Please do not fall for this nonsense.
Vote blue.

DOGE made his numbers fall, so they tried tariffs, which made his numbers fall, so they tried the 'give billionaires more money' bill, which made his numbers fall, so they tried deportations which made his numbers fall, so they tried war.

No joke, Trump has to fire all of them now. They're a sabotage risk to the administration.
I wouldn't want to be a DOGE kid right now

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.

People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.

They know exactly what is going on.

Defend Medicaid.
Vote NO on Cloture.
NO on bill.

So here we are, taking about #negotiations again. Reminder, I teach the subject at the graduate level.

Many people believe the negotiations in the Oval Office were a disaster, that #Trump and #Vance put a short term win against #Zelensky over the goal of trading minerals for support.

Nope.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :

are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.

*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.

*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

maybe you're not being negative *enough*

Important insight from @joshtpm.bsky.social:
Trump’s Feb 11 Exec Order directs agency heads to prepare “to initiate large-scale reductions in force (RIFs).”
How large?
Here’s the shocking answer:
The same # of employees who are furloughed when the govt shuts down due to “a lapse in appropriations.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.
