While I try not to engage with JB too much cuz he’s not serious at all, this latest post is incredible. 1st he argues BK, & then entire court, couldn’t/didn’t read the briefs in the petitions cuz they can’t read 150pgs in time. 2nd he argues the MO judges aren’t conservative cuz the MO Compromise. 🙄

For context: - This settlement amounts to less than 30% of Meta's profit in 2025. - It's less than 30% of their Q2 revenue alone. - It's 12% of what Meta will spend on AI in 2026 alone. - They will spend more on stock based compensation in 2026 than this entire settlement.

This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

The issue is not media or journalistic coverage, but political follow thru. The GOP turned the Tea Party into a national political movement with funding & organization behind it. The Dems can’t even agree to unilaterally and fully oppose the Trumpist agenda, let alone put political will behind it.

This was the hardest thing for me playing trombone in school orchestra. Just the various time signatures couldn’t wrap my brain around it, prob cuz there aren’t enough notes for trombone in those pieces to make it clear. That’s one reason I preferred jazz club and madrigal. Also more theatrical.

South Koreans still have strong memories of military dictatorship and strongman rule, within memory of the middle-aged generation equivalent to Gen Xers (1987). It is built into their national and cultural ethos. Plus they've been invaded within living memory.

Platner should be a no just for the tattoo. Even IF he didn’t know what it was when he initially got it, he had it for decades. He never once thought to look it up. And he only covered it/removed it when caught, not when he found out what it was. That alone is disqualifying.

For all those blowhards complaining about @katmabu.bsky.social being a “carpetbagger” and not being from the district, she spent the past year in the district learning the issues and speaking to the residents, and she started while the incumbent was still up for reelection. She earned her stars.

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

🧵So I read the #Buffy revival pilot script. The first draft anyways. I have a lot of thoughts, but this is a show that could have been very cool, although surely would have pissed a lot of people off. In structure, it’s VERY “The Force Awakens.” Which I like! But it def. felt very Buffy in every way

IMO the US system of govt didn't work well enough for 200+ years, it never did, it was designed to allow rule by decree (which is what an EO is) with legislative add on. It's essentially 18th-century British parliamentary system completely un-updated for modern times. President is basically king/PM.
