The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

NFL has instructed the New England Patriots to remove their team account from Bluesky because it’s not “approved league media.” So as if they weren’t already concerned enough about declining support with a Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl…. 🙄

Gratuitous new post since I’m slow to add content to my new account. But at the other place, I was forced onto Zuckerberg’s feed today, so I insulted him and unfriended him. I will soon leave of my own volition or get a “terms of service” violation for making a physically impossible recommendation.

Here’s the brain trust now in charge: they argue that citizens by jus soli are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States while simultaneously proving they are by subjecting them to the jurisdiction of the United States. Schrödinger’s Legal Morons. D-oh.

Yay. My first post on Bluesky. This is what it must’ve felt like in retrospect to people who left Pompeii for a short business trip or vacation the day before Vesuvius erupted.
