In December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and the world responded symbolically by boycotting a major sports event the next summer. Impeach the Human Shit Stain before it’s too late.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Thought: Trump isn’t the problem. He is the only elected person with the stones to fight. If you won’t fight for anything, and you demonstrate that your principles aren’t real, then why should anyone support you. You lose every fight. Democrats let Trump.

I’m not a fan of what Musk/Trump is doing, but the TSA is security theater, and it would be fine with me to see it go. Securing cabins on planes made us more secure. Taking off our shoes does nothing (as is evidenced by the fact that you can simply pay to keep them on).

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created after the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks to improve transportation security and prevent future attacks. The TSA is part of the US Dept of Homeland Security How does abolishing TSA make us safer? This is absolute lunacy from a US Senator

I don’t think this is entirely fair. This traces back to Clinton’s Democratic Leadership Council. Dems have forgotten how to have independent positions on foreign & fiscal policy, focusing on nuance & social issues. This was effective when the GOP was sane, but we don’t know how to lead anymore.

I’m tired of hearing consultants say that an issue is popular right now so we shouldn’t go against it. No…we need to get to work changing public opinion and stop following it. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Super excited. A fully revised version of Salmon Finder is live in the Google Play Store. We've done some cool things to simplify statistics and clarify the counts. Take a look and see if you can find the one significant bug we missed.

My morning is shaping up to be really great. Putting the last few touches on v2.0 of the Android @salmonfinder.com app while listening to some Jackson Browne, before the arctic cold descends on Colorado for the weekend.
