DS @anent.org · 20/02/2026I am suddenly seeing a massive uptick in spam calls. I am currently receiving about 15 per minute. Started about 20 minutes ago. Anybody else seeing anything like this? 100
DS @anent.org · 02/12/2025You actually did. 😆 You “cc’d” me on your initial post linking to this article. bsky.app/profile/ship... 010
DS @anent.org · 08/06/2025The Insurrection Act (1807) empowers the President to call up the National Guard in cases of civil disorder, rebellion or insurrection. HW Bush used it in the LA Riots in 1992. The Governor need not consent. But this isn’t what the Guard signed up for. How many will actually follow through? 020
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025Nah, 1453 was in there, with the fall of the Byzantine Empire *and* the end of the Hundred Years War… 000
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025Buckley v. Valeo is the real problem. That’s the 1976 precedent that established that “money == free speech”. Take that away and CU’s impact is hugely diminished. 0101
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025It’s already a fake location though. The actual southernmost point in Key West is on the Naval Air Station, about a half mile WSW of the buoy. And there are further Keys, WSW of Key West, that are further south. Ballast Key is where you should go for the furthest South in the Continental US. 100
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025They’re better because if they were in power they wouldn’t be nominating those people or writing those bills. It’s not my intention to give them a pass. Primary them! Get better Dems in there! But when all is said and done, a (D) is better than an (R). Even if the (D) is spineless (hopefully not!) 100
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025Republicans made those nominations. Republicans wrote those bills. So yeah, not-Republican is better. Am I pleased with the Dems you mention? Hell no, and they should be primaried! But in the general when there’s and R and there’s a D? Hell yes, vote for the D. 120
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025Second this. I’ve always found TTS to be a bit heavy and clunky and too focused with the full physical simulation… but BGA is great. And over a thousand games on there, some of which are actually good. 040
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025Dominion! Ok, it doesn’t exactly have a board, so I don’t know if it qualifies as a board game, but the online port is excellent. dominion.games 170
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025We also let bygones be bygones with Nixon, Reagan, and W, and the inescapable lesson is you can do horrible things with no consequences because the Dems will always let bygones be bygones. 0120
DS @anent.org · 05/06/2025When one party chases their extremes and the other party chases the ever-shifting “middle”, the extremists win. In part because of the Overton window, but also because a lot of “centrists” just want politicians who stand for something. Chasing the middle smells like a lack of principles to them. 020
DS @anent.org · 03/06/2025Since WWII (and before, really) this country’s science programs have been like Notre Dame: an immense imposing edifice to awe the world. And now we’re just tearing it down. In four years we won’t be able to unpause. We’ll have to start this Notre Dame over again, from scratch. 000
DS @anent.org · 03/06/2025The main construction of Notre Dame de Paris took over 100 years, from 1163-1270. Now imagine Louis VIII coming to power in 1223 and deciding to tear it all down. That could probably have been done in a few years. Would the next king have been able to just go back to building it? 110
DS @anent.org · 03/06/2025(For anyone not aware, there’s a region of France, about 60 miles north of Paris, called Picardy. Somebody from there is called a Picard.) 1110

DS @anent.org · 29/05/2025Hey, it worked for Zimbabwe and Argentina and pre-War Germany! Hang on, I’m getting reports that it did not, in fact, work for any of these places. 040
DS @anent.org · 26/05/2025Technically, he only said he wouldn’t have gotten himself in that situation. So “I wouldn’t have sheltered Jewish people in my attic” is an equally valid interpretation here. 3480
DS @anent.org · 25/05/2025Is this just Chrome or is it any chromium browser (e.g. Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera)? 120

DS @anent.org · 24/05/2025Disappointing there’s no Saints gang… so you could say you’d rather laugh with the Sinners than cry with the Saints… the Sinners are much more fun… 150

DS @anent.org · 21/05/2025So, Cheers was created by Glen Charles, Les Charles, and James Burrows. According to IMDb, the guy who knocked on the door was their agent, Bob Broder. 060
DS @anent.org · 21/05/2025“Promises made, promises kept” he says and then proceeds to lay out a completely hypothetical security system that doesn’t actually exist. 0230
DS @anent.org · 19/05/2025Ironically, Republicans and Communists both have the goal of making sure you don’t own anything. 000
DS @anent.org · 18/05/2025I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Donald Trump is the oldest person ever elected President, but the news hasn’t mentioned it so it must not be true. 062
Reposted by DSSarah Kelly @sarahkelly.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed. 6983613362
DS @anent.org · 10/05/2025Worth noting too that the Librarian is appointed for a ten year term. Her term was up next year. 010
DS @anent.org · 09/05/2025The existence of a Chicago pope implies a Boston pope, an Alabama pope, and a Van Halen pope. 200
DS @anent.org · 07/05/2025This is how I’m finding out it happened the first time. And the second time. 0291
DS @anent.org · 01/05/2025Gutting the FAA and making people afraid to fly, and killing all foreign tourism, goes a long way towards eliminating “chemtrails”. 010
DS @anent.org · 30/04/2025So Bondi posted on Xitter, “In President Trump’s first 100 days we’ve seized over 22 million fentanyl-laced pills, saving over 119 Million lives.” … so each pill kills 5 people? How does *that* work? 161
DS @anent.org · 30/04/2025Clinton oversaw the elimination of the deficit (the rate at which we accrue debt). He did not pay off the debt. The last time our debt was entirely paid off, Andrew Jackson was President. 250
