Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 12hThis reminds me of the early days of AI, when it would generate Daliesque, almost-but-not-quite plausible strings of characters. 020
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 13/10/2026It's also apparently not clear that she actually passed the bar. 230
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thank you for this. I have one in a couple of weeks, and this was reassuring. 000
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'll never understand why people are so intensely addicted to drama. 020

Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 30/07/2026This is, uh, not a great look for my Assemblymember.calmatters.orgLawmaker told court her mom had dementia in family property battle. Not so, said doctorsRecords show Assemblymember Anamarie Ávila Farías also faced a temporary restraining order for elder abuse. 000
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I also just now learned that "cupola" and "copula" are completely different words. I'd been pronouncing them identically for decades. 030
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 09/06/2026The electorate seems absolutely dead set on choosing the most horrendous candidates possible. 110
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Same thing with the CA gov race. The only chance for Redifornia was for the GOP to split its votes between two candidates who would then both make it to the general. Trump bumbled in and endorsed the GOP frontrunner, causing #2's support to collapse and ensuring a Dem victory in November. 040
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I just voted for Tom Steyer for Governor! I'm so glad that California has the chance to elect a climate champion. 021

Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 11/05/2026We would have killed for this kind of political satire in 2005. 010
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 11/05/2026They should use the perspective tricks from Lord of the Rings to make him look like he's 7'9". 080
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 06/05/2026To be fair, Putin does do martial arts. Obama could kick his ass at basketball, though. 290
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 01/05/2026If anyone is curious, the basic solution here is for Congress to: 1) Define "war". There can be multiple definitions for different levels of hostilities. 2) Establish authorization mechanisms for each level. 3) Make it illegal for the President to initiate hostilities w/out authorization. 020
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 01/05/2026There is no legal definition of war because Congress is too cowardly to codify one. 120
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 01/05/2026It's amazing how much overlap there is between people who think the Iran War should be illegal and people who think the President should be able to wage war without Congressional authorization because of some sort of ticking bomb scenario. 100
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 01/05/2026I had a pair of Facebook posts on this subject. The first was explaining how all this bullshit is legal under the War Powers Resolution. It was met with a lot of people saying "there's no way this could be legal". The second post was some changes to the WPR. The response was "but nat'l security!" 120
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 23/04/2026I am but a humble dog wearing sunglasses on the internet. I can't imagine what I would be doing in MrBeast's Beast Book. 120

Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Took me a moment to realize this was not the US government bailing out Spirit Halloween Superstore. 140
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 21/04/2026This is an awful way to respond to allegations that you’re a bad boss. I have friends who have worked for Steyer and speak the world of him. You don’t need to be mean to your staff to fight for good causes. 030
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 21/04/2026It's not even the fight against climate change that killed coal. Coal died because the fossil fuel industry pivoted to combined cycle natural gas plants. Even the fossil fuel companies don't want it! 0144

Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 20/04/2026My assemblymember posted an AI image of Becerra with a stethoscope for a person with three ears. I made fun of it and now she's in my DMs telling my that I'm being culturally insensitive because AI art of people with three ears is how her gente express support for people who look like them. 000

No funds for ship time for recovery so my PhD supervisor mortgaged his house & sent me. No pressure. I was in the lab with the ROV team when it showed up on sonar.

Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 16/04/2026I just found out I've spent the last several years on a little over half the recommended dose for my ADHD medication. No wonder I have so much trouble concentrating. 010
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 15/04/2026It is so weird to get a phone call at work from someone who really appreciated the mass marketing email we just sent out. 010
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Pensions. Every level of CA government is going to be facing severe budget problems over the next ten years as we transition from the old broken pension system to the new, less broken one. 080
Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Exactly. 25th Amendment is for if the president is in an actual coma. It wasn't designed to handle dementia. 010

Moosh @amazingmoosh.bsky.social · 12/04/2026I live in Swalwell’s neck of the woods and have a lot of political friends who know him personally, and I was dreading how some of them would react. Surprisingly, only one of them is holding on to Swalwell for dear life. 010
