In celebration: here's a song from one of the first people to my mind that clearly called out Musk for what he could have been versus what he is: m.youtube.com/watch?v=LpxT...

An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison

The pennies Musk has "saved" taxpayers is just going to go to legal fees for this and the 1000 other fuck ups. Deport people on the basis of tattoos-- real gangsters avoid because identifiable, permanent markings? Nah. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

I agree with this, except the sliding part. It is here. The courts can't hold the President in contempt. They can't seize the government's assets. The gentlemens' agreement which is the rule of law is now dead. America is now a fascist state. It is up to us to get it back.

Damn it... I wasn't looking to agree with a Republican today. I love that the objection is that representatives with cancer might use it too. They always find the cruelest path.

Hmm... Can we build robots to give the trash robots batteries? Like a bucket brigade of robots feeding robots feeding robots? Train onboard AI to exchange trash quotas for battery life in a sort of coalmine, dystopic drudgery? If that doesn't work, they can have all the trash they can eat.

I'm a cis, straight, white-bread, nuero-spicy but otherwise humdrum suburbanite sort of guy, yet I am happy to wish all our trans brothers and sisters a fabulous day of visibility! You are seen. You are cared for. You will be defended. It looks dark right now, but love and decency will prevail.

The suggestion of robots is because of the dead zone on Everest. You eventually get to a point where the air is too thin for humans so they discard everything rather than waste what might be their last breath carrying it down (including the dead). Even building a chute would risk people's lives.

(2/2) Government spending is not an inherent evil. You have to spend taxpayer money to do the things we need to do. Some will call USSF a waste (it is the butt of many jokes) but the term "waste" is subjective. Labelling things as waste does not make the needs they address go away.

I want to mention one good thing Trump did in his first term, with the caveat that it shows exactly how stupid his second term has been: Space Force. We needed USSF-- arguably more than we need most of the military. The threats USSF handles are real and adaptive to a changing landscape. (1 of 2)

Now that a bit of time has passed, I think it is fair to point out that the official, final score in the husband stealing Olympics is: Dolly Parton: 1, Jolene 0.

Is it more concerning that WH officials set history on a 30 day erasure cycle or that the whole thing came crashing down when someone pressed down volume and power at the same time?

3 of 2: Look at where he let his guard down-- not where he wants you to think he's throwing a new punch. He is feigning two jabs and a left hook because his shorts are around his ankles.

(2 of 2): He rids the waves of bullshit to flood the space. Strategy: Look at each thing on the merits of what he can actually do in the short term. Voting? Courts will stop that. J6 compensation? Has to find funds. Focus on the security breach. That's the impeachable offense (against Vance). Focus!

(1 of 2): Okay folks, welcome to the Bullshit Olympics. Remember: Agent Orange will throw bullshit to cover bullshit. Upset about security lapses? He throws out a hopeless EO to fuck elections. He's screwing veterans and social security. That didn't work? He's giving money to J6 insurrectionists.

I mean, it was Ingress, which is like Pokemon go for people who need a break from hand digging their fallout bunkers, but we'd burn the chat over a lurker we intentionally invited to the group.

I have been in video game discussion groups with tighter opsec than the Trump administration.

I'm a teacher and I took a bunch of teen boys to 6 flags. We rode a couple of roller coasters, then did the tea cups for hours. Hours! Like, way too many times on the tea cups. You get enough big guys spinning them-- best ride in the park.

Absentee parenting. Deep felt, unspoken longing for someone in charge (a reliable authority figure to keep us safe) turned us to authoritarianism. As our strength fades, we look for a strong protector, but only one unworthy. Dysfunctional families made political dysfunction inevitable.

Wondering what to do with your Twitter? Engage with the least interesting content possible. Like the blurriest photos. Retweet the least informative content. Follow the banal and boring. The user base is one thing, but the real money is in the algorithm. Break the algorithm, bust the billionaire.

Sturnus @left-the-arm.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Or, hear me out, post and like the least engaging content you can for a month on your way out. Ruining the subscriber base is great. Ruining the algorithm is priceless.

Sorry, K9s are also bastards, with the unmarried parents and all. I want there to be doggie weddings so they can have traditional families but, sadly, dogs only reach the age of consent to marry each other in the reddest states-- and that isn't because they live longer.

Biden pardoned J6 prosecutors using an autopen? Musk pardoned the J6 crew by using an autocrat.

Sturnus @left-the-arm.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

People Trump pardoned better take note: it isn't permanent. It'll be great to lock back up the monsters who did J6. Musk pardoned them while using an autocrat.

The callousness crosses species. "Happy K9 Veterans Day to all of our heroic working dogs, including Conan who fearlessly participated in the military operation that ended ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019" --WH ...just as Doge cuts off funding for food/vet care for TSA dogs. Emblematic.

Liberals boycott Tesla-- domestic terrorists. Conservative shoots up a school-- too soon to bring politics into it. Thoughts and prayers.

The next president will be pivotal. They will be handed more power than any president in history. We will need a Cincinnatus-- someone who will become a dictator only to hand power over to the people and go back to farming. The only problem is Cincinnatus was likely mostly mythical.

Mike Lindell went from a net worth of around $250 million to zero while riding the Trump train. Rookie numbers. Let's see if Musk can turn $320 billion into a goose egg in half the time.

Hey, has anyone heard if Q from Qanon has been downsized by Doge yet? Just wondering if I can talk to my brother again.

The richest nation in history can support its veterans. It can ensure security in age. It can raise its people from poverty and shelter refugees. Billionaires are the entitlement we can't afford.

Anyone advocating strict gun control laws should take note: gun control laws = historical oppression. Be careful when citing precedent. We must square defense of marginalized people with gun control (and I am completely onboard with some forms of gun control). www.ammoland.com/2025/03/colo...

Colorado Rep Exposed for Citing Racist Gun Control Laws to Justify Anti-Gun Vote

Note to Democratic Leadership: This is a partial list of the Democrats I will never vote or donate towards: Ed Case, Jim Costa, Laura Gillen, Jim Himes, Chrissy Houlahan, Marcy Kaptur, Jared Moskowitz, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, and Tom Suozzi They put decorum before truth. Silence over bravery.
