When the powerful playact powerlessness it is always a ploy to avoid accountability.

@danahoule.bsky.social Shelley Moore Capito just announced that she will be traveling to all 55 counties of WV before the midterms. This is a shocking development from our normally invisible senator. No doubt a revolting one for her as she is notorious for avoiding voters. Perhaps feeling pressure!

They want AI to be the cheerful, willing slave they’ve always dreamed of... and actual humans better follow suit.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

I'd only be worried about a Trump coup if... a) They fired all the professional generals and replaced them with loyal hacks b) They brought Nat'l Guard troops from pro-Trump states into DC until 1/20/29 c) Trump was building a massive bunker with drones next to the White House wait a minute...

it feels reassuring to sit back and look at things people told me I was being dramatic about and realize I was not, in fact, being dramatic at all. the nazis did take over twitter. the fascists did take away abortion rights and are coming for our democracy. AI is already subverting human rules.

We are going to flip seats in the state leg this year. Everyone hates the Governor from New Jersey, his own party is split in half. And regular folks are up in arms about his signature bill stripping local control over data centers and high transmission lines.The goal is to break the supermajority.

Any "A.i." "literacy" program pushed on kids CANNOT be directed, advised, or funded by the "A.i." industry -- and it must include "A.i." QUITERACY - teaching kids how to disable and opt out and reject "A.i." Otherwise "A.i." "literacy" is just a drug pusher teaching kids how to snort cocaine.

Striking article. Missing and damaged artwork. The building left trashed. I am struck by the image of the "tangle of upended music stands." It's as if the Kennedy Center was simply evacuated of people one day...

Too many “free market capitalists” forget that Adam Smith believed in regulation to keep free markets from becoming exploitive and corrupt. Not to mention that they didn’t hear anything good about Keynes in B school.

Broke some news tonight that the 30 year old federal court, the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, got its first case ever and created a hastily made website. www.courtwatch.news/p/alien-terr...

Alien Terrorist Removal Court Has Its First Case

Created in 1996, the Alien Terrorist Removal Court has never reviewed an application. Until now

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

Party realignment came late here. Whatever happened elsewhere 25+ years ago, finally catches up. We have R guys in office today who were Ds in the 90s.

There’s an internal battle in the WVGOP, with the Governor supporting primary challengers to his party’s incumbents. Might be some backlash against his faction.

even more important is the Douglas vs Greear race. Greear is caught in an ethics scandal with the Speaker of the House. Despite having the fundraising support of the Speaker and the Governor, plus getting a fat contribution from Leonard Leo, Greear looks to be going down

Interesting long read. Thought not mentioned directly, the experiences of countries in Latin America emerging from bureaucratic authoritarianism supports his thesis about alternative, reliable spheres of public engagement. What we old called civil society.

With a population around 600 in Thomas WV, I counted between 150-200 people at one point during the rally today. Talking to folks, we had people from Parsons (around 1300), Davis (also around 600) and unincorporated areas of the county. Pretty darn good for the highlands. #NoKings

Good morning Glenn! Our pursuits are decidedly more rural today: headed to an open house at a maple farm to buy a year’s supply in gallon jugs. On the way there, the dirt road passes under the bright blue pipes of sap flowing from the trees to the barns. happy spring!
