Interesting seeing the AI Patton wearing a Soviet helmet and shoulder boards and Trump with jump wings randomly pinned all over his jacket. But AI McArthur's insignia designating him a "Corporal General" is the most amusing.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider. Post Anything Here: interactink.vercel.app

So now we are entering the season where university administrators announce their goals and plans for the entire academic year, and then set a deadline for them to be completed by mid-September. Oh, and have the completely revised and restructured syllabi we announced yesterday ready next week, too.
You know how when you were 8 years old the last few months before Christmas always seemed endless? That's how the last few months until the midterms feel to me right now.
Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend
For anybody who still thinks libertarianism is a "principled" political philosophy, self-styled "libertarian" Rand Paul has pulled the mask right off. There is nothing there but absolute rejection of ethics and morality.
They still aren’t updating the infrastructure btw. They’re hooking up these data centers and figuring out where the water and power come from later. It’s like how they’re always throwing up housing divisions and then the water and roads can’t keep up with the growth.
It's always good to have allies who come from a different ideological view than yours, but taking advice from people who saw no problem with Bush in 2000 seems a bit unwise nonetheless.

During our 20-minute check-in call today, Mitch McConnell told me he was unhappy that anything good he ever did (really short list) is going to be overshadowed by the cover-up of his illness/death here at the end.
Now that Platner is gone, I'm waiting for the corporate media storm about Paxton and whoever that Trump-backed chud in Arizona is who has been accused of sexual assault. I've got a feeling that waiting will be in vain, though.
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 2w ago🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.
(1) I guess it's good to see more coverage of the crisis in elder care, with the low-paid workers who prop up the highly-profitable businesses in that sector facing deportation. But most elder care workers I know are unpaid family members, and resources, especially in rural areas, are scant.
Why make a reasoned argument (which is possible but not convincing in this case) when you can make a dirt-stupid, low-brow lying one that only your most stupid and sycophantic followers will believe?

Bill Maher threatening to vote for JD Vance because he's in a snit about progressive Democrats is absolutely the most on-brand thing I've heard him say. A blind pig may find a truffle every now and then, but Bill always manages to find a pile of dung. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

At any given moment, he’ll do what he thinks he needs to do to get out of whatever immediate jam he’s put himself in. That’s why we’re in this war in the first place. And that’s why Donald Trump running a real-live war is the world’s worst nightmare. trib.al/i5fG6BA

Was on the road this week, and learned all over how much fast food restaurants suck these days. Six people on the drive-thru window, nobody at the counter. Overpriced "meal deals." Small burgers that are now the size of hockey pucks and don't taste much better. 9 fries in a small order.
