I’ll accept “punish republicans” instead of “intimidate the Court”.

Republicans just want free stuff

I was thinking about going outside for a run but it’s looking a lot like John Carpenter’s #TheFog today. So, maybe not.

A pretty key & funny theme in Rome worship is that the statues look very austere and white, ie “classical”. And arguably “white” in racial sense, tho I think that’s overstated. But most were originally painted. And they looked very different, more florid and certainly to modern eyes more eastern.

If wage growth is 3% and inflation is running 3.5% to 4.5%, every month your income buys less.

Trump & Republicans are great for blue-collar jobs.

The dudes who were insisting they had strike funds to cover a couple months out of work are now demanding to know when the first raise will hit their bank account. I’m like, “dude, you’re an engineer and you don’t understand the payroll calendar?”

"Needless to say, Bain isn’t coming at this from any 'boo capitalism!'/'this is insane lol' viewpoint. But the conclusions aren’t that far from the “this is insane lol” position. It’s very much, 'hey! we can do this' but also, 'um … wow, there’s quite a lot to do.'" — @joshtpm.bsky.social

A friend sent me this new Bain Capital study on the growth...

#SPEEA accepts Boeing’s 2nd contract offer. All the coverage is going to be about the $$$. The wage pools basically make up for the last 6 years of inflation. IMHO: what remains to be improved in future contracts are less about $$$ and more about process. www.king5.com/article/tech...

He sounds shrill. I don’t think we should have an overly hormonal man leading the military.

Hopefully this shit is over in 8 hours.

Once upon a time, republicans insisted that military readiness was all important and the military should not have cultural norms forced upon it. The military showed it did not interfere with readiness. So Republicans are now forcing cultural norms on the military and sacrificing readiness.

A slowdown in IPOs is an indicator of an anticipated recession or that the IPO will not hit its target value. In short: it’s a company’s lack of faith in itself or in the economy.

I’ve caught birds like that before. But I almost never see the arch photographed from that angle. It might just be that the drop-off makes the people in the foreground look too tall compared to the arch and the people in the distance. They credited the photo to Bethany Baker.

Is that an AI generated image of delicate arch? I don’t remember it looking like that

If you’re wondering why there is now a slang term for masturbating without orgasm, I present you with AI “has solved the problem of infinite personalized music.”

Sure, if I still had a normal heart. But with two valves replaced, I don’t have a normal heart.

Having an argument with my cardiologist’s office over my surgeon’s blood pressure protocol for the type of surgery he did on me. Believe it or not, I’m on the side arguing my BP needs to stay below 120 at rest and my cardiologist is saying I can be between 120 & 130.

The White House is suffering from a super stupidity problem.

Occasional reminder that white only became the standard wedding dress color during the Victorian Era because quality textile dyes had become common because of better trade routes, discoveries in chemistry, and industrial manufacturing.

Donald Trump, Super Genius (stupidus presidentius)

Every person kicked out of the pool makes staying in the pool more expensive for those remaining. Every Republican solution is designed to make the problem worse.

“I didn’t, but someone should.” — honesty is the best policy

This is the worst kind of politician and government employee. They think the government’s money is their own and treat it that way.

This town, which I guess is the county seat for the county I live in, is Nowheresville man. I can’t believe I had to drive my kid here for jury duty.

I can’t even follow that shit and I have a masters in engineering.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

AI does not “go rogue.” It is a computer program that does what it is programmed to do.
