Smoke and mirrors. Even if Ukraine stopped blowing up Russia's refineries today, there's now way that they'd be able to supply diesel on that scale.

Honestly, good advice for anyone, regardless of gender.

So, what's the over/under on how quickly they'll find an excuse to shutter BET and OWN?

A South African woman of color who fought Apartheid, led the UN commission that condemned the Gaza genocide won the Nobel Peace Prize? I think even Natalie will be calling off sick from work this morning. Hide the ketchup.

Props to whoever wrote that headline.

It will be timed for after the mid-terms, though I don't think that Vought cares who controls Congress. He's going to just keep hacking away at the foundation until they physically drag him out of the west wing. The toddler-in-chief is hinting about it because that's what children do with a secret.

This is Russ Vought. I'm guessing it's some scheme to destroy Social Security and/or Medicare. I think it's his mission to destroy the government from within in order to hasten the end-times.

I'm from Jersey, so I speak with authority when I say small, suburban roundabouts are better than a 4-way stop, but the technology doesn't scale when you feed four 6-lane highways into one ginormous circle. We're talking Thunderdome meets Lord of the Flies mayhem.

Just so we're clear - Mike Johnson's religion has nothing to do with actual Christianity.

We didn't make it that far inland on visit (cruise schedule constrained), but it's on the list to visit when we return. Also, make sure to punch a couple extra holes in your belt before you leave. The food is phenomenal.

Agreed. We're living in Orban's Hungary. The vote to remove each and every Republican needs to be overwhelming.

It’s easy to spend all of your time in antiquities and architecture and art in Florence proper. Make sure to dedicate some time to exploring the countryside around Florence. Its beauty is heartbreaking.

Well, they are taking jobs from enterprising high school kids and single moms in need of supplemental income. I'd having a hard time feeling sorry for the delivery bots if they went the way of hitchBOT.

Nah. That's not how it works. This thing is the home-grown underdog that the rest of the world thinks is ugly and weird. Philly is going to embrace it... like Gritty.

Good. I’ve looked up Van Drew’s record; he’s done nothing for South Jersey, let alone for the country. He’s just another weird dude, captured by the cult, waiting with a sycophantic smile for the next presidential photo op.

Good Intentions @seeker47.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I guess that gives them the rights to "The West Wing". Anyone want to bet they'll reboot it with a trumpy Jed Bartlett?

NJ-02 is a target? Nice. Van Drew has done nothing other than rename a couple of post offices and spend time in the Mar-a-Lago buffet line. Mullock has to get busy though; I don't see many of his signs around, nor do I see him making many personal appearances.

So are they also going to sell off the pipe organ or just scrap the metal after they dynamite the place?

Currently writing year end reviews for my team. This time around the HR tool included an AI assistant that they could use to help draft their self-assessments. Whooo, boy. They all lose points from me for letting the thing introduce more fluff and flowery language than their performance warranted

I get your point, and it's an interesting notion, but I've met a lot of people who majored in stupid in college.

Sadly, yes. I’m also fairly certain that there are a stack of blanket pardons, already signed, sitting I Susie Wilkes’s office to give get out of jail free passes to all of his evil henchmen. They’ll just fill in the date whenever he leaves office.

Well, he's definitely broken the pardon privilege. I'd be in favor of making presidential pardons subject to Senate approval. As he used it, it became just another tool for graft and manipulation. I'm also not wild about Biden's late-term preventive pardons, but I'm thankful he protected Dr. Fauci

I know it would feel good in the moment, but doing it by the book is the only way to set the system right again. We also have to fix the holes in the system so that no one can break it in the same way again.

Well, okay. We don't do exile. That's more of a them thing. Restoring the rule of law means giving them the due process that they've denied everyone else. Let the evidence do the work to send them to jail. Fortunately, they've done the criminal stuff right out in the open. Should be easy.

...but what if we create an agent to do the cussing for us?

What was that, Mr. Speaker? I couldn't hear you over the roar of the diesel generators.

The other 19 countries need to nope out of the Miami meeting and have their own meeting in Ottawa.

The West Wing and Friends didn't even make the list. I'm calling shenanigans! I know both started pre-2000, but really now...

Artists will keep creating art. In fact, it will probably be better, freed from corporate shackles. I worry more about news/journalism. There's always been the tension between needing the resources of corporate ownership and resisting corporate control over publication. It's all out of whack now

Ideology aside, he'll need the cash. Daddy's Oracle world is going to collapse when the AI bubble bursts, and I have to imagine that the Saudis aren't quite as free with their funds as they were pre-Hormuz.

I love how universal that experience is. The dog doesn’t care if you’re home from the front or college or a business trip - he’s just going to share his joy.

I agree, though I'd like to think that JD and the other stooges would wake up and drop the 25th on him if he's about to call for the launch codes. I'd like to believe that even that bunch would draw the line at Armageddon.

Wow. This was an excellent timeline cleanse. It's refreshing to learn something new and marinate in the warm comfort of science, expertise, and nerdy enthusiasm.

Yes. The coverage of the Senate horse race says that the Ds only need to flip four seats for a majority. I think they need five to fetterman-proof the majority. He's a flight risk.

Question: I know you've got our backs on blocking federal agents from policing the polls; what is our recourse if maga-world calls for volunteer poll watchers? What happens when some thug in cammo stops my Asian wife to demand proof of citizenship? (she's 3rd generation citizen, BTW)

I'm guessing that anecdote is missing some context. Regardless, all I really ask of the pilots is that they get me to the right city and land the plane safely. If that includes howling at the moon from time to time, who am I to judge?

CNN was just let back in to the Whitehouse. The story needs to be that they shamed the president into complying with the law.
