I like to think
First computer- Commodore 64
First game system- Intellivision
Trump doctrine:
A) I can stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot someone and nothing would happen to me.
B) I can stand in the middle of 5th avenue, say that any group of people is terrorizing the country, and order them to be shot, and nothing would happen to me.

It might be time to consider a new theory besides ‘unitary executive’. Options for SCOTUS to consider for executive power this term:
- arbitrary executive
- rudimentary executive
- cruel and unusual executive
- mercenary executive

we need to organize a contest to design new robes/clothing for SCOTUS.

I used to read the news at night, browse Bluesky and Reddit. Way too stressful; better to listen to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

Is it an accurate portrayal of the trans community? Not at all
If the information was false, or included a prompt for violence, that would be one thing.
There are plenty of sites that track mass shooting statistics.
The last 10 posts I saw on nypost were sports, so it is not all they post on.

So I just read the story. as someone with a trans family member, I felt extremity sad about what these kids went through. I fear my niece will go through the same in Texas when she gets to high school. However, I did not read anything that told anyone that they should be violent.

I don’t understand what banning will do? I don’t follow the NY post and @bsky.app does not force an algorithm to show this to everyone. I don’t agree with the NY post take on this, and I think some stuff by them is horrible. I also like to know what people read, especially if I disagree with them.

I grew up on bulletin boards and crashes that could not be fixed until they sent a disk…in the mail. I tell my employees about thinking/solving pre-internet and they wonder how I survived. No GPT, no YouTube, no quora, etc

I am not sure how this becomes a bigger issue than income inequality, housing, opportunity, immigration. How would you rank the priorities in the comments on this subject:
Legal rights
Documents
Bathrooms
Sports?

For those of you that want to follow the trade carnage in real time- free site with great stats - portoptimizer.com powered by LA port authority. (Did I mention it is free)

55% of containers at LA ports are empty. Shipments down massively since tariffs. Pain coming and heading east.

What about doc Martens? They still offer Made in England as well as outsourced. Most doc martens are $100-$250.

I think something (learning, product improvement, etc) is lost when all manufacturing is outsourced. I’ve never had a pair of Nikes last 5 years.

Without ACA, my wife would have died of cancer. She survived childhood leukemia and was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago when she was pregnant with our second child. I was let go by a startup that year and without ACA, we would not have had any coverage. Thank you!
