Today @hcrichardson.bsky.social highlights how the Republican focus on culture wars & personal loyalty has left the party vulnerable, opening space for a majority of voters to unite around practical, baseline governance. 📰 heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-22-... 📸 tinyurl.com/58x7r76b
First slide of an Instagram carousel summarizing Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American, August 22, 2026. A curly-haired dog is pictured in a teal circle on the left. Text reads: "In today's Letters from an American, Heather shows how the Republican Party's focus on culture wars and personal loyalty to Donald Trump has left it politically vulnerable amid escalating economic and foreign policy challenges. She argues that this ideological pivot—exemplified by candidates underprepared on key issues—has created a clear opportunity for Democrats to unite a growing majority around practical, baseline governance.”

@katrinamanson.bsky.social I’m enjoying reading your new book, Project Maven. I’m not sure what’s in store, but up to chapter 7, it’s an interesting and absorbing read and I recommend it.

#Technology #surveillance Say what you will about ICE but they know their technology. You should know it too. This is from the Washington Post: apple.news/AZUkTiQ9cTrm...

The powerful tools in ICE’s arsenal to track suspects — and protesters — The Washington Post
Biometric trackers, cellphone location databases and drones are among the surveillance technologies agents are using in their immigration enforcement campaign.

@ayesharascoe.bsky.social Since u bought your house, I take you seriously when you are inspired (influenced) in a podcast. Here is your 2nd (third?) act: a Black “Interview” podcast with folks of all genres, perhaps unknown or unsung, to popularize black talent of all kinds. But hate to see u go…

Putin & Trump didn’t want Zelenskyy to come because he would have tattled and told the deets about how big a nothing burger the summit was.

It doesn’t take a genius, but that’s what Disney+ should do, because some people will be newly exposed to Daredevil, and Disney’s showing them that they can learn more by pursuing previous history of Daredevil. Now, where did I hear that before…?

Drink water. Stick with it. Busy yourself with something. Cravings go away after about 3 weeks. You need to make new habits for the body.

Wasn’t Pam Bondi responsible for ending the election recount in Florida between Bush/Gore? There were those hanging chads, and they were recounting a few counties, and as a judge Pam Bondi ruled that before it was over, they should stop, resulting in Bush winning. Help me out knowledgeable folks.

In college an English teacher wrote on a graded paper: Don’t you know how to write a paper? This is nothing but a putting together of facts on (forgotten subject). I am very disappointed.

@cfavrettojr.bsky.social I recently found the Magic Story podcast. While waiting for Foundation to be released, I anticipated some explanatory episodes, as Foundations was supposed to orient newbies like me. Sadly, only 1 short summary. Where should I start to learn the lore and backstories? Thanks

@scalzi.com Think that maybe there WAS an Interdependency series, or at least a knock-off. Not called that, the Duke and Cardenia don’t die, the church also has an AI “personage” like the emperoxes do, and a different ending! Does anyone else remember this show besides me?

LumpyPorridge @lumpyporridge.bsky.social · 09/02/2024
@scalzi.com Oh noes! l finished the Interdependency trilogy, but it’s not the ending I thought I remembered! Is there a fourth book or short story ending I’m missing?

@scalzi.com Has anyone tried, or been interested in trying to make a tv series from #TheInterdependencySeries? Just finishing it (for the second time). Clever, well designed and s o o o o funny! Thank you for writing it!

I didn’t test it today, but I taped the blog is back button - at least the button where that button is. If it didn’t say that, it said the blog is fixed??? I had seen slightly different messages for that button.

Originally I did a search for your name (no .com) using the duck-duck duck go. With yourname.com it would not load. (Sorry I’m lazy too). I took me to a page with several big buttons. (I did not think it was your fault. )

Phil Plait made a post about you with a bad address. Then I searched some more and found a post about the blog being up again, but that, in hindsight, is clearly blog old. A good example about how the internetinternet saves EVERYTHING, even after you fix it. Happy New Year. Resume deserved sloth.

Not if you understand how new kinds of apples are created. Like most foods, humans have continuously made strains that we like more. Like bigger tomatoes or bigger blueberries or corn.

I must confess that I had to re-read passages sometimes several times in the thick of the action in the books (as a simple stupid human with a slow processor). /2

Maybe they could have the screen broken in multiple screens - like 2 small screens on the left and a big one on the right. It’s how I imagine while reading the books. I can already see a need to rewatch to catch all that’s going on. Better make tiny screen text readable…/1

Do they plan on heavily using a narrator? Head-Murderbot is as big a star as material-Murderbot. Maybe bigger. This is what I worry about for the show. It would lose so much if they turn it into mere action-science-fiction.

If I use Mastodon, I can’t connect to a Threads person’s address with it yet? Do you think Threads would be able to track people connecting to it from other distributed servers such as Mastodon servers?
