Star Trek fan, amateur WWII historian, comic nerd, miniature hobbiest. I used to care a lot about politics, but I’ve given up now. Don’t tell me who won. It will spoil the ending.

#AlterEgo is a banger of an album! Lisa is always and forever my main bias.

The speed with which corporations are sloughing off their DEI initiatives - like it was some odious thing they couldn’t wait to discard - tells you everything you need to know about the seriousness with which they took DEI in the first place.

“I wasn’t fired,” said the man who was fired. “I didn’t rape that woman,” said the man who raped that woman. “I’m not doing a Nazi salute,” said the man doing a Nazi salute. “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

So President Musk, who owns a social media company, and Vice President Trump, who owns a social media company, will now decide under what conditions China can offer us a social media company. And everyone is okay with this and no one sees any conflicts of interest. Got it. #WelcomeToTheKakistocracy

This was my last gas purchase of the Biden administration. 11 gallons for 30 bucks. That’s more or less what I’ve paid for 4 years running. As a thought experiment I figured I would post these values at “to be determined” intervals to see if the situation gets better or worse.

Trump has been running his campaign like he’s Richard Pryor in Brewster’s Millions trying to spend a billion dollars and have nothing to show for it so he can win an even bigger inheritance. And yet, somehow, he’s a coin flip away from winning.

Me talking to my negativity about the election. Nov 5th isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. Of what? We’ll find out, but no matter what happens we’ll face it together.

Any chance we could change the narrative style from “fact checking” to determining whether someone is making a good faith argument or a bad faith argument? That seems like much more useful information for voters than pedantically nitpicking over what’s technically true and what’s technically false.

Trumps ability to lie without consequence is his biggest strength. Instead of calling Trump a liar when he makes stuff up, why not blame age, senility, and mental decline instead? Turn his biggest asset into an anchor around his neck.

Someone ask Trump the question: “What happens when you’re president and Putin says ‘If you agree to look the other way while we nuke Ukraine, I’ll buy a billion dollars worth of DJT stock.’ How will you make that decision when you have to choose between what’s good for you and what’s good for 🇺🇸?”

Looking forward to watching the media stand on the brakes with both feet trying to stop Kamala from pulling away and driving down ratings for news programs. They literally have no incentive to let the race get one-sided. No horserace no money. But let’s all pretend the news will be “fair,” shall we?

Watching RFK Jr is like watching Brick from Anchorman run for president. “I have a dead worm in my brain.” “I left a dead bear in the park.”

Hi @hodgman.bsky.social ! My wife and I are really enjoying Medallion Status. We just finished Vacationland. Definitely looking forward to never visiting Maine’s beaches. Anyway, thanks for your continued writings! It’s a very useful benchmark for my own aging process.

I don’t know that a “I got to genocide on my own” parallel development defense is what’s called for here. I was more worried about the genocide. Not the plagiarism. But we are where we are I suppose.

The dumbest Senator now says he’ll only oppose military promotions if he disagrees with the politics of the applicant. And the media is covering it like “good for you, Tommy!” Not the least bit chilling. Quit failing, “liberal media.”

It’s only “Artificial Intelligence” if it comes from the “It Would Do What It Wanted To Not What You Tell It To Do” region of France. Otherwise it’s just a “Sparkling Difference Engine.”

At least once a month I find myself thinking “it’s a real kick in the 🥜 that we don’t have Douglas Adams anymore. He’d know what to do.” Days like today make me really appreciate @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com stepping into that gap.
