coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Well you missed 2/3 of the scoring, but I suppose that since the lead never changed and you left with the eventual winner already winning, this is Spiritually Acceptable on some level 000 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Saw you at NOLA book festival and bought and read it, thanks for coming out! Crazy, those cambrian humid forests that would burn b/c of the high oxygen. Maybe write a book on human origins? Homo erectus, etc. For some reason I feel like you’d be good at that. Hope you get to keep doing your thing! 010 0

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 04/05/2026It was always kinda clear to me that Trump’s authoritarian tendencies could lead us into a stupid war, even as his whole brand was “I won’t do that”. The trouble with this guy is, I can’t predict with 100% certainty, you know? Like with the tariffs, I wasn’t 100% sure he’d do it? He’s such a nut 000 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 19/04/2026My mistake! Didn’t realize they already make 300K. I must have been getting it confused with something like US senate salary (170K) 010 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Sure. 300k is more than their current salary. They need a raise to that. 110 0

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Please read Anne’s article. It was in depth without being overly long, and provided some interesting insight into something truly dystopian going on propaganda-wise beyond what I’d been aware of in Hungary, that could be a portent for things to come elsewhere 2275 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Yup! Watched it on tv with my 3, 8, and 10 year old. Rapt attention in this age of tik tok etc. 000 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Thank you Anne! Just read your thorough article, opened my eyes to the astounding Orban propaganda regime of just - ridiculous! - lies. Can’t help but detect some antisemitism in the portrayals of Zelensky, no? Remember Orban’s anti-Soros ads from a few years back? Anyway, thanks again - 062 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Like, what are you seeing at the street level speaking to improvements since 2024? Cleaner streets? More busses and bike lanes? Lots of building renovations? 000 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I mean, I would be! Thank you for sharing and hope you are having a good time. 001 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I think you could circumvent the fact that the legislative veto is “unconstitutional” (according to right wing Supreme Court) by having every circumstance where it was previously applied be replaced by “president can do X for 30 days, after which congress must authorize an extension…” 000 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Absolutely yes. I do not at all understand other posters disagreeing. I have no beef with coast guard, and any disagreements with TSA aren’t resolved by “force them to work without pay.” Won’t be long before we get sob stories about sympathetic coast guarders struggling. Get out in front of it, now. 000 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I’ve been told by airline staff to just leave garbage in the seat after my toddler created some last-minute trash after landing. It was very helpful to not waste a free hand carrying it out during deplaning, which is a hairy process for everyone kids or no. Walkthrough staff get it right afterwards. 100 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I thought about this near-the-poles effect when you posted about this race’s shift yesterday… should you and your ilk be thinking about a different metric than “pct point swing?” If the true figure of merit is “proportion of R vote share lost” this will meaningfully differ even at say 50-50 vs 60-40 000 0

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Perhaps bettors had reports of helicopters/explosions causing the overnight spike, no big deal then. But if the 30K bettor had classified advance knowledge of the strike? That’s effectively treasonous - it compromises the security of the mission - to seek profit. This bettor should be investigated 140 0

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 17/11/2025This was the “bart gets an elephant” episode from 1994 that I coincidentally rewatched earlier tonight… the republican banners are eerily on point as well: “We want what’s worst for everyone! We’re just plain evil!” 1130 0

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Yes, absolutely. I was astounded, reading his interview with Douthat in the times - just mentally wandering from one “brilliant” paradigm analysis to another but all just so hazy and half baked… almost like talking to your seat mate on the Greyhound bus about space aliens and vaccine conspiracies 011 0

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 11/09/2025He was an effective senator in a different era, and he’s not the man for the moment. With all due respect to Mr. Schumer (and very much is due) we need clear-eyed effective communicator JB Pritzker type.

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 07/09/2025It’s hard to do. These are not good-faith actors so you have to acknowledge you are playing a game and be prepared for it - “sure, but what about [bullshit rightwing thing of the week that I’ve never heard of and is either overblown, just made up but still throws you off]”.

coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 03/09/2025And think of all the additional excess organic material that had to be buried to account for the other O2 that was gobbled up oxidizing inorganic minerals - basically “rusting” exposed elemental iron for billions of years to create the banded iron formations! 000 0
coalsalt.bsky.social @coalsalt.bsky.social · 29/08/2025It does feel we have hit an inflection point in the last week - something about Bolton’s search, the dirt unearthed about Lisa Cook’s mortgage whatever (by some agency I’d never heard of), etc, just the coordination and momentum… But this can be a moment of clarity - and so resolve. We aren’t done. 030 0
