What a delight to see @jamieloftus.bsky.social in my podcast feed for a totally different reason! Her insight, speaking truth, and humor are always helpful in a complex conversation. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/100-... (I personally trade my chips in every year, rather than keep them).

Sure, everything is awful, but on the other hand, I went to see the premier of a new #MST3K #RiffTrax experiment. Fun is still a thing! www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/mst...

Totally worth the extra effort to go to the Colosseum South wall and find this vegan Korean barbecue bao sandwich. It is so excellent! #mnstatefair

Not to keep harping on this, but just start with Jo Martin as the Doctor and totally ignore everything from Doctors 1-15. Clean start, great character, no baggage.

I'll be okay with a small break, but my favorite solution would be a series starring Jo Martin. We know nothing (really) about the pre-1st Doctor incarnations, and we wouldn't need to retcon anything. Just lower cost storytelling in a stripped down TARDIS without continuity weight.

Honestly, a little refreshing to see a mainstream media outlet just plainly state the record of the Trump administration. Nice, @startribune.com
BREAKING NEWS
President Trump says Pam Bondi is out as attorney general
President Donald Trump said Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general, ending the contentious tenure of a loyalist who upended the Justice Department's culture of independence from the White House, oversaw large-scale firings of career employees and moved aggressively to investigate the Republican president's perceived enemies.

What bills are we not paying, you ask?
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States has paid about $160 million of the nearly $4 billion it owes the United Nations, the U.N. said Thursday, and President Donald Trump promised more money to the financially strapped world organization.

The news from occupied Minnesota. The courts, despite all evidence this is a retribution campaign designed to terrorize, will not be of help. It continues to be up to the average person. #minnesota

In today's edition of The Upside Down, I find myself in agreeing (in part) with George Will. This is the world we now live in, where Will is closer to the voice of reason than any other Republican. (RL:DR we are all doomed.)

I have a Workspace account that just got "upgraded" to include Gemini whether I wanted it or not (and I get to pay more! Ummm... hurray?). So I asked Gemini how to disable Gemini. It doesn't seem to know. Not a great tool, 0/5 rating.
