iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Who would have thought that hiring someone who'd never run a newsroom and specialized in telling RWers what they wanted to hear wouldn't ... OK, I don't want to keep seeing the same hands.

For most people, evil is a choice, not a compulsion. A simple "Dude, no, not cool" can snap someone back to who they need to be. I'm convinced a lot of violence is headed off this way with no fanfare.

If getting oil flowing through Hormuz again means constant US Navy escort that is not sustainable. We're still paying through the nose for oil; we're just doing it via the military.

Last time they attacked you, you ignored the warning signs and 1200 Israelis were murdered in some of the most brutal ways imaginable. Maybe ratchet down the boasting, Bibi.

Companies I'm wrestling with to settle my wife's affairs, ranked by competence and professionalism: 1) Fidelity 2) Unum 3) Bank of America 1453) TIAA-CREF None are great, thought. Two have played the "we mailed you the check last week game" with me.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

MRI went fine but think I annoyed them. Between the benzo and lack of sleep, I kept dozing off when they needed me to be holding my breath. Might also be the spirit of the wife, who used to fall asleep during MRI’s.

For decades we have been saying: maybe Democrats should run ads that simply quote Republicans saying horrible things about their own constituents. But Democratic consultants convinced Democrats that that would be too effective. So, this is validating to watch. Also, always hated false civility.

Every asshole who thinks either side has a unconflicted claim on the land or can be denied the right to self-governance or statehood is just another ideologue sloganeering on behalf of generations more bloodletting. You are part of the problem. Fuck extremists on both sides. Fuck you.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Unfortunately, Sanders is not getting ratio'd by people pointing out that the vast majority of able-bodied on welfare *do* work. The objections are "why did you use a white guy as your example" and "foreigners are the real welfare" and "Jews!" because of course it's Jews it's always Jews.

Nothing to see here. Just the governor of Arkansas pretending that welfare is about fat dudes playing video games instead of working families struggling to make ends meet.

Paxton is lying, BTW. The judge gave him 29 days. But ... he's boasting about this? So not only is he corrupt, viscous, abusive, an autocrat, an adulterer and completely subservient to Trump, he's also a dumbass.

It's stopping cervical cancer now. And it will cut into oral and throat cancers down the road. (Maybe we could get Republicans on board if we told them that half of penile cancers are HPV-related.)

We do need a lot more accountability in the student loan program, esp in non-science fields, but this is using a jackhammer to do car maintenance. And he still hasn't done anything about worthless for-profit schools milking the system.

The Republican Party seems to have developed a pollution cargo cult. They assume if we pollute a lot, that will somehow produce a strong economy.

OK, OK. I give up. I finally listened to the song everyone's talking about and ... it's not bad but it's ... generic. Like really generic. Like are we 100% sure it's not AI-generated? I dunno, man. Maybe it's because I've heard a LOT of Dolly in the last month but this isn't doing it for me. YMMV.
