I’m sitting here chuckling to myself, trying to figure out if I can send this to the Jewish friends I was *just traveling with…
Broke: Star Trek says humans will abandon all religion in the future.

Woke: Dune says religion will continue to be both a source of strength and a tool of control for oppressed peoples.

Bespoke: Babylon 5 says we'll get MORE religions, and Jews will have to sort out what alien foods are kosher.

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

In a normal world Waltz and Hagseth would be fired for leaking the info and setting up the chat. Gabbard and Ratcliffe would go for possibly misleading Congress yesterday.

You know you’ve really screwed the pooch when the Kremlin openly publishes its approval of what you’re doing.
"The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tells a reporter from state television.

@rbreich.bsky.social We need to *starve* this pack of criminals masquerading as an administration. Yes, file lawsuits. Also:
1. nobody files their taxes this year. Trump has blown $10M golfing on taxpayer dollars since he started.
What are Republicans going to do, pay their taxes to retaliate?

Is Grampa-shitzhispants trying to out-dumb Zoolander?

Mistakes require intent.

When (for instance) an LLM spits out information that is untrue, the LLM has no intent and is performing its function correctly.

The "mistake" is people mistaking it for a mind that can think and answer questions. The fault lies with those pushing it on them.

Never distract your opponent when they are making a mistake.
This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Just a reminder to everyone who voted for trump because you wanted lower prices on shit:

You ain't getting it.
He admitted it.
Said it's too hard.

But he has ALREADY enriched himself and his wealthy friends with his and Melania's shit coins.

He doesn't give a fuck about you.

When I talk to comic book artists I always emphasize the importance of clearly separating their planes of depth. This rule is only for comics and does not apply to Turkish photographer Sami Uçan.

This experiment with letting a small handful of people amass most of the wealth in a society and then inflict something devastating on the world when they reach middle age and realize no one likes them seems to have run its 5000-year course. We might not need to run additional trials.

I’m over here chuckling about “profound disrespect for gravity”…!
This photo so perfectly captures nuthatches’ profound disrespect for gravity
The two most important factors to successfully seeing the birds you want to see are 1. Complaining and 2. Persistency*
I've been whining about not seeing one of these little Nuthatches this year and the snow has spontaneously produced some for me. So Cool! 😂 #birds

*in complaining.

Well put, lauren!
i've long been a big believer in newspapers in spite of their flaws but i increasingly believe between subscriptions to defector, 404 media and the 51st i no longer need to put up with a newspaper's downsides that are inherent to their business model: ownership and editorial

it is so important to remember that IN THE MOMENT there was no one who thought jan. 6 was some innocent protest gone awry. everyone recognized it for what it was.
At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.
