I have a game. What were you "known" for on Twitter?

@getmoresmarter.com Is it a known issue that most of your episodes have moments where the audio tracks are obviously shifted? Ex: Around the 30m mark of the latest. overcast.fm/+AATX6MLDWXc...

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Can’t shake the thought that having all this matériel in DC and provoking anti-ICE riots in LA, Chicago, and gods-know-where would make a handy little setup for declaring martial law.

Meh, it’s probably nothing. 😬
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

A podcast called “Raging Moderates” had Kellyanne Conway on and she immediately went into “Trump’s documents were nothing but Biden had docs where his druggie son could get them!” and nobody said anything.
If that’s “moderate” burn it all down.

I’m officially at the
~ Larger font sizes screw up the UI of apps I actively use
~ I can’t read most text on my phone. Especially 3rd party apps
~ I can’t even play solitaire without my readers
stage of my decrepitude.
So now phone time is mostly glasses time. It’s almost reducing my screen time.

My suburban house is perfect except I can’t walk to anything worthwhile and people street race on my most adjacent main road. Otherwise I dig the quiet life.

For a long time, I've been trying to get my head around David Lynch's strange blend of avant-garde art with conservative politics and sensibilities. (Conservative in Nietzsche's sense, or Ralph Ellison's, not Trump's.) A new essay/column from me in Jeff Bezos's Washington Post:
Opinion | David Lynch was America’s greatest conservative filmmaker
Sorry, Clint Eastwood.

I only call them “posts”. It’s not like the Bluesky app uses “skeet” anywhere.
Since I’m already stepping in Bluesky land mines tonight, let me fling this one out there.

I would trade “skeet” for @thevivllainous.bsky.social

I understand this statement is likely to cause great controversy.

I worry a lot about what this means for poor and working class people. We saw what happened in the aftermath of Katrina, which is still causing pain in New Orleans to this day.
Gavin Newsom tells NBC's @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social he's planning "LA 2.0" using upcoming megaevents — World Cup, Super Bowl, Olympics — as a deadline for the "pride and spirit that comes from not just hosting" but also "the opportunity to rebuild at the same time"
