Saying that Trump is "shaking things up" with these bullshit, unqualified nominees is entirely missing the point. The real story is the contempt that Trump has for the government and the people that government serves. He doesn't give a fuck about that; he just wants to fuck with his enemies.

One of my favorite things to do in Florida is to see how many different bird species I can get in one frame. See ALT text for list. And true story: It was MONTHS before I realized that there was an alligator in here as well.

"After 39 years of career as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations across the world, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify the contribution of women to their defense and to their service, in their country."

We’re ill-prepared to inherit our diverse future in the universe, envisioned by writers such as Robert Heinlein, @davidbrin.bsky.social @scalzi.com, and others, if we’re still worried about how and where someone pees, in a place designed for peeing. FFS grow TFU.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?
