I'm starting to feel like I'm in the blast radius #HereNearDC. Tip of the hat to all who keep us informed. Scared, but informed.
Project 2025: It's On (Predictably)
Before Bill Barr became Donald Trump’s third attorney general, he circulated a memo that was more or less an audition tape for the job he ultimately got.

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

Sorry the account is @bbc-beverages.bskybait.social.
So there is an account that tracks the guests’ beverage choices at the end of the In Our Time podcast on BBC Sounds. @bbc-beverage-bluesky.social. @bobjim.bsky.social this app is so good.

Can relate
I usually listen to historical podcasts when doing house chores, so now I am actually looking forward to unloading/loading the dishwasher because I want to know what happened during the French Revolution. No spoilers!

Incidentally, "The rest is history" is a great podcast.
