A thread about a great cat, and the post-retirement creative evolution of a great artist, in 20 images...

Tell me how we've had dog shit job creation since Trump took office and unemployment is still firmly below 5 percent. The math ain't mathing.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Had a 20 minute chat with my friend Mitch McConnell last night.

This is just a friendly reminder that I don't worship anyone I follow. If I follow you it's because I find you interesting, funny, or insightful. It doesn't mean I agree with everything you say and there is nothing wrong with that. People need to get more comfortable with different opinions.

The fact that this was a 5-4 decision makes it painfully clear we need drastic court reform.

The idea that people just collectively gave up on their civic duties because of some inherent moral failings is the silliest conservative trope in my opinion. I think it's tied to some deeply entrenched belief that the American system is so perfect it cannot fail, only be failed.

Fox News has always been full of partisan hacks but man it's just gutter tabloid trash level stuff these days.

Trump has strengthened China, Iran, and Russia under his watch. Any one of those alone is a foreign policy disaster. Add to that his neutering of our soft power through his destruction of alliances and dismantling of USAID and this has to be the most destructive foreign policy regime ever.

What a wild ride in the comments. We went from "this guy is too stupid to do a simple task like mail merge" to "mail merges are too complex for an LLM to get right" and ended up right back at a bunch of dudes congratulating themselves for being able to do mail merges and list de-dupes themselves.

I don't think this guy realized that LLMs solved an actual problem here. This is a problem that has existed since the beginning of software. There are a lot of capabilities in software that are not worth the time to master for people who now can utilize those capabilities with natural language.

I'm often reminded I'm from a different time and place than a lot of my fellow BlueSkyers. I love y'all but scrolling my feed is sometimes like:

Anyone watching that speech has no idea whether Trump is escalating or deescalating the war with Iran. But to be fair, neither does he so🤷‍♂️.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

I was thinking the same thing but his voice is more relevant than mine. Trying to codify the facts of history into law is a mistake.

I'm sure this has no chance to backfire at all. www.axios.com/2026/03/03/i...

I saw this the other day and it is perfect. youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?...

I have to admit that one of my blindspots for a long time was not recognizing that we have an antisemitism problem on the left too.

This is an excellent talk on LLMs. It's also scary when you realize that people are relying on them so heavily. Oh yeah, and it's racist. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shus...

This is a great teachable moment to show two things: 1. What the phrase "the exception proves the rule" really means 2. How stupid Clarence Thomas is The whole reason IEEPA exists is to give the president the ability to be exempt from the normal rule. www.foxnews.com/politics/tho...

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

This administration is so bad that choosing the worst character is really hard. Bovino, Miller, Noem, Homan, Patel, or Hegseth? Today it's Bovino but it could be Hegseth tomorrow. I don't think most people even know that we blew up another fishing boat the other day.

Remember when being forced to wear a mask was tyranny? Good times.

Congress is just watching Trump fuck America from the cuck chair.

I'm getting really sick of hearing non-Americans sitting behind their keyboards chastising us because we haven't formed a militia to overthrow the government one year into this mess while my fellow Americans have held massively peaceful protests in the face of arrest, bodily harm, and even death.

Hey, so, WTF is up with this?

I think it's about time for angry mobs to form outside of Congressperson's houses and demand impeachment.

Some people need to hear this: Having thoughts, feelings, and convictions that are indistinguishable from everyone you follow on social media isn't a good thing. You can disagree with someone and still appreciate their perspective.

The thing that is bothering me the most about the birthright citizenship Supreme Court case is how you could rectify it legislatively if the court creates ways to get around it. Do you pass another amendment that says "we really mean what we said in the 14th amendment"?

Trump's entire coalition is held together by a hatred of women. That's why he attracts red-pillers, the trad people, incels, and all manner of misogynists. It's whey they turned out for him against Hillary and Kamala but not Biden. people.com/donald-trump...

I've worked at multiple multinational companies now where we had to have ethics training where they talk about corruption in foreign countries and how to avoid getting caught up in the pay for play stuff that is normalized in some countries. I never thought I would see it happen so openly here.

If the Dems keep this momentum and don't fuck things up it's going to be a bloodbath in 2026.

Never Trump conservatives all tend to have the same huge blind spot around civil rights and race issues in America. I think it's the cognitive dissonance of realizing the party you were a part of for decades was tolerating the same bigots and racists then that are in power now.

LAST YEAR: “3% inflation? Throw the bums out.” THIS YEAR: “Inflation is defeated.” 🤡 @mcopelov.bsky.social #CPI 🇺🇸

At my No Kings protest I saw mostly middle-aged parents with young kids and senior citizens. Is this who Mike Johnson is afraid of? Are the Republicans proud to have a complete coward as their leader in the house?

This reflects my sentiments on LLMs pretty accurately. They are not capable enough to actually replace people but that isn't stopping companies from trying. The question is how far down the rabbit hole will they go before realizing their mistake? futurism.com/future-socie...

My ideal 2028 Dem platform: 1. Prosecute war crimes, corruption, and civil and human rights violations comitted by this admin 2. Eliminate ICE and DHS 3. Pass anti-corruption rules for SCOTUS 4. Break up big tech and media conglomerates 5. Amend the constitution to limit presidential powers

Seeing some leftists struggle to support Jimmy Kimmel because of the TV show he did 20 fucking years ago is entirely what's wrong with the left. If you cannot accept that the culture has changed and the man has changed with it, and celebrate that, you're a miserable cunt.

Am I the only atheist praying for this September 23 rapture prediction to come true? All these assholes will just disappear? What's not to love?

I wish he were alive today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=doKk...
