I don’t know what else to say other than our president is a complete joke. And I say that coming from a perspective of sadness and depression, not vitriol.

In destroying the Voting Rights Act and gutting the 14th and 15th amendments, the Roberts court is recycling legal arguments once advanced by Confederates and white supremacists to destroy Reconstruction. From me and @ariberman.bsky.social

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.

The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

Very recent piece by Suresh. It talks about AI in the context of use cases, efficacy, accuracy, and irrational commitment from those in the business who are non-technical and so have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about but are all in on the thing. ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mani...

It’s a bit dated but the theme of this famous essay by Nikhil Suresh is right (and very funny). He’s worth following if you want a skeptical take. The JS error handling as part of a sentence is a nice touch for those who care about such things. ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-...

Turns out the energy market had not priced in the possibility that a president would actually be dumb enough to take up Bibi on his evergreen proposal. I’m sure Trump and Bessent have ruined many a position and vaporized a lot of money but at least they can say r***d.

What’s bullshit with this question is first she couches it as important because voters are concerned. After he stomps on her, she justifies the question by saying “Republicans are heavily attacking you so it’s clearly something you want to engage on.” They just want the bad faith culture chum.

It should be a 5-alarm fire in the media that the president is saying this. Turning off trade would completely wreck the economy but he thinks it’s a viable option. This guy is a complete fucking moron but nobody seems to be willing to point this out. Ds apparently think it would be gauche.

Total Lunar Eclipse - 26 May 2021 - From Ángel López-Sánchez - flic.kr/p/2m1PLyZ

This image combines 50 x 1" exposures, ISO 800, obtained with my CANON 5D Mark III attached at primary focus of my Skywatcher Black Diamond 80mm f600mm (F/7.5) during the Total Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday 26 May 2021, between 9:00pm and 9:04pm, Sydney local time.

The frames were manually aligned with Photoshop, then extracted as new frames to Lynkeos, that did the fine alignment. Drizzling x2 was also used. Then the combined image was taken to Photoshop, where the colour, highlights/shadows, and contrast were tuned. This got only the image of the eclipsed moon.

Additionally, I combined the full 266 x 1" images I took during totality using Siril to get the stellar background.

They two combined frames (eclipsed moon + stars) were combined with Photoshop with a bit of extra tuning to get a nice background.

The image taken at 9:03pm was used as reference for the alignment.

All the data were taken during the 4 hours ONLINE event "Conversaciones astronómicas bajo la luna eclipsada" that I organised with the "Red Andaluza de Astronomía" (RAdA), "Agrupación Astronómica de Córdoba" (AAC), "Asociación de Lengua y Cultura Española" (ALCE) de Australia and the "Spanish Researchers in Australia-Pacific" (SRAP-IEAP), that was followed by many schools in Spain.

I think it’s quite likely the prisoner’s dilemma dynamic is at work here. Tons of money in these companies and those investors exert massive pressure for returns. “Too much money at stake to slow down.” If you think the concerns are bunk, who cares? If you don’t, it may require the govt to…

What I took from that era is that there is nothing the Republican Party can do that's awful enough, disastrous enough, to bring it any real accountability, because the whole system is wired to defend & excuse it. The Trump Era has only made that more nakedly obvious.

The cognitive dissonance here… It’s not just that her entire person is a large set of contradictions, it’s that her followers completely overlook it as well (in addition to the fact the party pushes ‘traditional family roles’). Certainly not unheard of (‘evangelicals’ and Trump) but still bonkers.

Ds should should embrace this attack. Hegseth is hollowing out the military in service of his insane machismo, culture wars, loyalty tests and incompetence. Trump’s lack of any empathy (‘small potatoes,’ Lincoln), Iran incompetence ties in too. Why fund incompetence? Fire, fix then fund.

Read this. One, it’s clear eyed. Two, there some real spot on descriptions of the man that are straight up bangers. As @grudgie.bsky.social says, it’s refreshing to see. It’s how the media should be talking about Trump as a fundamental framing of everything he says and does.

Non-concurs happen. I believe that. But, how often on average compared to now broken down by issue priority/materiality and how often to do you see 4 on an issue this material? Those are the metrics to measure to determine how big a fire this is (and has been in general). I’m thinking 5-alarm.

What could slip by unnoticed is she classifies calling Trump a ‘dictator’ is an insult. Would calling Nick Fuentes a racist be an insult. The press has just been willfully blind to Trump’s authoritarianism and go so war as to contest anyone asserting it as reality.

InfinitelyLoopy @infinitelyloopy.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The ‘military objectives’ lens is the absolutely wrong frame Welker (and a lot of the media) use. It allows the Rs to muddy the waters. War is an instrument to achieve policy objectives. The question is ‘have we achieved policy objectives?’ and clearly we haven’t. So, can we, when, at what cost?

InfinitelyLoopy @infinitelyloopy.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

This is a well known pattern and yet parties continually follow it. Adoption means validation. Rather than peel of voters, that mainstreaming leads to bleeding people who decide to buy the real thing, not the knockoff. Ds fall into this trap constantly.

He’s not technically wrong. 394 mm isn’t ‘empty’ but below 614 mm 20 yr historical avg, and 666 mm under Trump 1 (for valid reasons). The question he should be asked: if the spr was low, your intel said Iran wasn’t close to nukes and that the strait would close post attack, why did you start a war?

Think about this argument: Canada is ripping off the US by abiding by the terms of a deal ‘negotiated’ and touted by Trump. No more! Unsophisticated negotiation tactics solely reliant on intimidation and coercion may work in NYC real estate but not here. But scorched earth ‘leverage,’ amirite?
