I'm Uncle Sam, That's who I am. Been hidin' out, in a rock n' roll band. Mainer, mariner, skier, data man, deadhead, etc.
I'm glad I have never tried to use any "Assistant" features and just don't use my phone unless I can use my hands to interact with it. Like seriously, there's not a single app in my phone with microphone permissions other than "Phone".
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 4h agoThey're discontinuing Google Assistant in a month to make everyone start using Gemini instead, so I tried using it just now and it sucks ass
This has basically been true of everyone I follow on Bluesky for most of the last 10 years
Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 6h agoThis is gonna sound unfathomably arrogant but I think I could do every current cabinet secretary’s job better than it is currently being done
Forget 1997, 2007, and depending on where you live, 2017! In 2020 I had to buy legal weed from a dude in a V6 Challenger in a Home Depot parking lot an hour away. in 2026 I have strong opinions about the quality/price/selection ratios at half a dozen retail storefronts within a 20 min drive.
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · yesterdayDrugs!!! Do you know how DIFFICULT it was to smoke some dogshit shake that had been sitting in some scumbag's cargo pocket for two straight days in 1997?
Iranian cleric honestly a little let down to discover the United States is actually an Indecisive and Middling at Best Satan.
Yes this is 100% true, my college girlfriend basically wrote her thesis on this argument. (American Jew who learned Arabic and travelled extensively in the Middle East)
Josh Fruhlinger@jfruh.bsky.social · yesterdayi would go so far as to say that israeli and palestinian nationalism came to exist as we know them today in opposition to one another. neither would be what it is without the other
That's because you're a gutter Islamophobe unless bribed properly, just like every Republican that's lived in the last 40 years.
Did you hit a rope swing into a saltwater quarry today? Thought not. Git gud.
Max Miller feels like we played an UNO reverse on all the cross-contamination the GOP was going to try with Platner
When I worked for campaigns I was occasionally involved in trying to build "Republicans for Candidate D" groups and it usually involved a lot of getting told to eat shit followed by a press release that three journalists saw and yawned at. Dozens of hours of staff time for literally zero.
Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · 3d ago“We can’t do big things and we must reach out to so called moderate republicans” has lost more elections for Democrats than people pushing for progressive purity
The less glamorous side of cruising on the Maine coast - drinking coffee in the fog and rain.
Today I sailed to a dope island, went for a run on cliffs over the ocean, and then saw a puffin. I bet your day wasn't that cool
Good morning from Christmas Cove, where the dark and stormies flowed and the funk jams rolled last night.
I have a theory that swing voters in metro Atlanta are college grads, whereas swing voters in northern states are non-college grads, and that leads to pretty meaningful differences in why someone like Ossoff positions himself differently than northern Dems.

In 4th grade my class debated Puerto Rican statehood and the pro side was "my cousin is Puerto Rican" and the anti side was "How would you even arrange 51 stars on the flag" and I want to stress that this is the level at which the American public as a whole generally engages with issues.
You talked to an idiot, to be clear
Karen K. Ho@karenho.bsky.social · 5d agoI talked to someone who reported on Congress about this. He explained the Northeast Corridor has to make *money*, rather than being a clearly better alternative to driving or flying or improving the quality of life for riders like other train systems in Asia and Europe.
Just walked 3 miles, got lunch (a mile from home), and freaked out that I had lost my keys, so retraced my steps, only to find them in the glovebox of my car where I had left them so that I didn't lose them while walking in the woods.
I am watching the Cubs local broadcast and like...how does this fanbase accept this trash? I've watched some questionable NESN broadcasts but nothing this bad
When was the last time you went to your local Democratic committee meeting?
All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
Everyone who went along and invented an entire epistemology around being scared of needles is a filthy disgusting piglet and they should know that
We really should have gone to greater lengths to be loudly disgusted by anyone who acted like getting a shot or wearing a mask to prevent the spread of a pandemic virus was worse than being conscripted into the First World War
Any serious person I've known who has worked in the nonprofit world always has serious questions about how something is supposed to work because the world is full of charities that came in making huge promises and folded after delivering almost none of them, wasting everyone's time and money.
I was today years old when I learned that Gob from Arrested Development is a send up of John Ellis (JEB) Bush
I tend to also think the DSA platform will bend to reflect its electeds with time and the more normal electeds you get the more normal the platform gets
and so the little girl struck her last match, and in its flickering glow she saw her grandmother. “My dear, how cold and hungry you look,” said the old woman. “Come with me.” “I am hungry,” said the little girl, catching her grandmother by the hand. And with a smile, she began to feed.
There’s just “I hate republicans” and “I disapprove of the Democratic Party for not hating republicans enough”
This fuckin watch needs to lay off with the telling me to go to bed. I know I slept like shit last night! You think I wanted it that way?
