Idaho born, Washington resident. I own more books than I will ever have time to read. Grumpy on the surface, a softie in the core.
I don’t even have words for this. What is worse than disgusted?
Trump: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, & thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT … Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!”

The dissolution of the Heritage Foundation and liquidation of its assets will be bloodless if the few remaining fascist swine allow it to be.

We used to only name government things after dead people. It was a way to keep personal favors out of it.
He’s gilded the entire White House, slapped his name on both the Kennedy Center and Institute for Peace, installed a new Trump Gold Card, and now proposing a new “Trump class” of naval vessels.

I know we keep saying this is insane but this is seriously fucking insane.
oh my god its literally Long Beach's wario

Via @liamjscott.bsky.social at the other site here’s the full email from 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. She’s putting her career on the line by fighting here. And she’s fighting for all of us.

The keynote speakers at a conference used the same phrase “left behind,” except it was about nat’l security relative to China, and they also could give no specific examples of what that meant.
My standard response is "tell me, in specific detail, how exactly I'll be 'left behind,'" and to date not a single techbro has ever answered the question. "You'll be left behind" is a statement of religious faith, not business fact, and should be treated as such.
So the “figure out how to use it lest you be left behind” replies about ‘AI’ that have been popping up here strike me as inauthentic but also kind of funny because they grant the point that rather than an automation panacea these technologies are quite difficult to figure out how to use effectively

Take all the people who ever set foot as a guest on Epstein Island, and put them in prison for the rest of their lives. The rest of us will be better without them, I promise you.

You really think we’re as shitty as you by daring us with the Bill Clinton photos. We give a fuck about laws, not leaders. If Clinton fucked a kid, arrest him. If Walter fucking Cronkite turns out to have done some shit, burn all the memorials to him. We are not the same as you.

Every person who was a guest on Epstein Island can go away, forever.

I would say it was the death rattle for American democracy.
the failure to prosecute Trump for seeking to overturn the election is one of the greatest and most consequential bag fumbles in the history of American politics

That one actor on “Welcome to Derry” looks so much like Rickey Henderson that it is unnerving.

Every major news organization should be writing about how insane this is and how, if he takes this country to war (tomorrow?), it is the act of a madman.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

The New York Times would find a way to “some say” this into ambiguity.
TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”

Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

Not one dime of government bailout money to any company that dies because they bought into this AI garbage. I don’t care if it wrecks the economy - we cannot keep letting the elites and CEOs fail with no consequences.
