This is Stella Blue, aka The Slonk. She had just had an existential crisis because her birds flew off the porch, but she’s better now. She doesn’t like sports and doesn’t know what everyone’s on about.

Dear @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, @aoc.bsky.social, @kenmartin.bsky.social, et al. This is the *minimum* we expect. Do not be cowards. That will not repair our democracy, and it will not help you keep power, pass legislation, or anything else.
If Democrats regain power then every member of the Trump regime should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. From Jared Kushner and Corey Lewandowski down to the lowest-level ICE employee.

Every business executive who bribed the president, every government employee who got rich, every agent who roughed up an immigrant—they should all live in fear of the law.

I said Third Way was funded by the ultra-wealthy, and I admit I was wrong. It’s funded by its board of trustees, who are only super-wealthy multimillionaires from Wall Street. Je regrette. Of course, with a secret 501(c)4, it’s hard to tell where it’s from. www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/...

Looks like all the Trump insiders and shady prediction market bros are out of blow and need a short bump.

Asinine cowardice by @nytimes.com. Pulling punches and equivocation is destroying the Times’ reputation. It’s not “a challenge to scientific orthodoxy,” it’s an unproven crackpot conspiracy theory that will cost people, including children, their lives.

I don’t know who Jon Fasman is or who he runs with, but people think Johnny Cash was cool. Just as cool as Dylan and Springsteen. All in their own ways. Photo credit to Jim Marshall, at a concert Cash held in San Quentin prison in 1969. Marshall reportedly said, “Let’s shoot one for the warden.”

Getting close to the real question, which is: If a Waymo kills a pedestrian, who goes to jail? This slide, reportedly from IBM in 1979, sums up the problem. There’s no accountability for a computer.
