FYI Bluesky folks. Keep this in mind. CNN "Most Americans approve how Trump is handling his return to the White House" Important to keep perspective. This site is an echo chamber of sorts. Just like Twitter has become. www.cnn.com/2024/12/11/p...

Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/2pggThEp

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

I am ramping up my hot take that Banana Bread is the new Sour Dough. I’m not paying an extra 10% and not using an overripe banana 🍌
DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?
LUTNICK: Generally 10%
DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%
LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff
DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

In the mid 90s I shared an apartment with this guy that I’ll never forget. Ex-Marine turned environmental engineering student-turned very hippy dippy, just an overall complex but good likable dude.
One day I saw a notepad on the table that said only
“Will anyone ever learn not to f*ck with China”

“I never see anybody walking along these sidewalks”
That’s easy to believe with that sample size
