I know a few things about museums, technology, user experience, design, science, art, and life. I play at the intersection of them all. (he/him)

A pleasure of flying through SFO are the great exhibitions by the SFO Museum -- I believe it's the only accredited airport museum in the US,thanks to @thisisaaronland.bsky.social for their digital presence

You're right that our system has built up a set of laws, rules, and norms about how this should work. How closely is this administration adhering to those? And how quickly are those norms set to respond to a bull in a china shop?

Which congressional majority will refuse those electors? Which way do you think the Supreme Court will rule in that instance in the lawsuits that follow? In any case, H.J.Res.29 already sits in committee to amend the Constitution for three terms. CPAC is actively planning for a third term...

Sure. Who remains that will enforce the Constitution in this regard? Who controls who appears on ballots? The same state governors who are currently redistricting? What's to prevent them from still putting his name on the ballot? Who prepares the Certificate of Ascertainment from each state?

I presume that it'll be only a few days before the national guard (armed) is deployed to schools across the nation. Or maybe just in the problematic blue states. There's certainly no other method of 'control' that could be helpful in these circumstances. </sarcasm>

The very small part that amuses me is that clearly nobody in this administration has seen how quickly museums create exhibits if they're trying to be done by2026, for the 250th. Sure, the 'content' will be Grok-derived, but the RFP processes for the exhibit design and fabricator? yeah, no.

For all the performative hand-wringing about Texas by the GOP, don't forget that Oregon Republican lawmakers fled the state multiple times in 2019/20 to stop legislation. Aren't TX Dems just following the example of their OR GOP legislative peers? Too soon? www.npr.org/2020/02/26/8...

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

I guess what I donʻt understand is that if Trump is such good dealmaker and friends with Xi and Putin (and can end a war in a day or something), why does he think we need Greenland for security and protection? From what? Arenʻt we—according to him—already safe from China and Russia?

yes, because itʻs better to travel to another continent when we only live a few hours apart. :) Although it would have been amazing to just run into you by accident here. But, that does make me think I should plan a trip thataway for a long weekend sometime soon.

Love it when a museum has WiFi so you can buy tickets for a special exhibit while you’re in the gallery. Love it way less when they block email traffic (or the WiFi is so slow) that you can’t get the email delivery of said tickets.
