I woke up this morning and made a choice to put on my Orioles shirt instead of Ravens and now neither of my teams are playing today

I was afraid it would be 2021 all over again b/c Dems are complicit. Can we agree on that yet? Can there be another explanation? No accountability, no restoring the guardrails, just brush it off and pretend it’s 2015. Whose interests do endless death elections serve?

I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase “Jiminy Christmas” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film

Helps to realize the tension within the MAGA/Right Wing world is between a group that wants to steal as much as possible and doesn't worry about popularity and another that is focused on a long term, anti-democratic fascist project. Where they meet is a willingness for violence and ending elections

This extraordinary article puts into context the obscene scale of Elon Musk’s wealth. The poverty of his soul is revealed in how he chooses to use his power - by crushing the poor, the disadvantaged and the most vulnerable. He is the poster boy for the rotten nature of our modern world.

Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

What are we doing? “The Brookings affordability report found nearly 38 million households would be able to get by if workers' wages rose by $10 per hour. But that's a tall order in a nation where the federal minimum wage has been frozen at $7.25 an hour since 2009.”

I think my inherent disgust towards LLM AI is because it divorces the user from the weight of creation. What brilliance illuminated your life? What insights left you breathless? What strange paths did you wander? What work did you put in towards understanding what it means to be human?

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The Orioles had so many wild games and memorable moments during the '23 and '24 seasons while making the postseason those years. This felt like one of those nights again at Camden Yards. Could be the first big moment of the '26 season. The Craig Albernaz Foul Ball Game.

Consider the opportunity costs of the war in Iran. The missiles might have been sent to Ukraine, to end that war. The money might have bought healthcare for Americans. The attention of Europe and Asia might have been focused on countering Russia and China, not re-opening the Strait of Hormuz

Not a bug but a feature in this new war of choice. What Trump requires is a major terror attack on American soil prior to the midterm elections. Declared state of emergency. Disruptions in voting. Political dissent challenged and even prosecuted. His war has primed the pump as intended.

MAHA is a conspiratorial health populist movement. Yes some people came to it for the food dyes. But the antivax movement is the backbone and it always has been. “Natural immunity” is a propaganda phrase for natural INFIRMITY - you got unnecessarily sick so that you don’t get sick again? Stupid. 🙄
