Reports are that there's only a ten percent chance that AI will destroy humanity. The pilot comes over the intercom and announces that's there's only a ten percent chance the plane will crash. Sit back and enjoy your flight.

According to Trump, the Straits of Hormuz are open. Even if that's partially true, the traffic is probably one way. What ship is going to go in to load up on oil?

If a snake oils salesman who convinces 49% of the population to buy his product the first (or second) time around, how many people would still buy his product the next time around? Apparently 31%, but maybe less if he doesn't get there soon.

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Trump may not have started the war in Ukraine or the war in Gaza, but both have gotten worse during his presidency. And he thinks he should get the Nobel Peace Prize? Twisted logic.

DOGE and Trump laid off 850 NOAA personnel, gave them early buyouts, and will pay their pensions. Then they realized their mistake and hiring 450 new employees that have to be trained in the middle of hurricane season. I thought the "E" in DOGE stood for efficiency.

For whatever reason ICE doesn't have a Bluesky account. So I thought I'd drop this in here. Note the Free Speech crowd has now put the good folks at ICE in charge of stopping, detaining and deporting "Ideas".

See the little dot circled in red? That's the Heard and McDonald Islands. They are uninhabited, require a permit to visit, and are a two week sail from Australia. Trump just put a 10% tariff on their exports, of which there are none. Know what country didn't get any tariffs? Russia.

He has signed the Alien Enemies Act. He is on the path to declare martial law, stop further elections, and try to stay in power. Personally, IF his goal is to declare martial law, then I think it’s time the American people give him a reason. Trump and his admin should go to sleep worried every day.

If the Musk kids shutoff social security to millions of Americas, many of whom could starve without it, will it be time to deport Musk? My understanding is that he violated his visa when he initially entered the US.
