I will vote for whoever will fix the USPS - that is my single-issue. It shouldn't take a package 3 days (estimated) to get from a distribution center in my city to my home.

What’re the chances those awful war.gov commercials are narrated by Hegseth with his voiced modulated. Something about the delivery of the narrator… #ALDS

Get your bosses in line @bobbyscott.house.gov, @kaine.senate.gov, & @markwarner.bsky.social. And/or yourselves if you're pussyfooting around this.

What blows my mind is that Democrats 100% understand the idea of "oh man, we don't want to have our members out there defending [unpopular thing], that'd be horrible!" But they refuse to understand that making Republicans defend Trump would be WONDERFUL for Democrats. bsky.app/profile/aman...

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

I’m just going to tag all my representatives here because it should be looked at federally, but definitely at the state level. @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @bobbyscott.house.gov @bonitaganthony.bsky.social and @warren.senate.gov (you’re not my rep, but seems up your alley)

For years I've been looking for the right guest to do a pod on this. The car-sales model that is dictated by law in the US -- you must go to a dealership & suffer for hours in order to buy one -- is one of the most nakedly anti-social special interest giveaways in history. Needs to be killed dead.

Dealerships as they currently exist are unnecessary & antiquated in 2026. And laws supporting - and requiring - them are anti-competitive & antagonistic to buyers. Direct-to-Consumer, like Tesla & Rivian, is all we need these days.

If I’m watching your YouTube video & you ask me to “smash that” like/subscribe button, chances go down exponentially that I will.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Tide might be turning. Keep pushing. Keep calling, donating, protesting, all of it. Don’t stop, especially if Trump starts throwing them overboard. Don’t stop until they’re all gone

Looking forward to the Grunge “heading to commercial” music package for the LAR/SEA game. Starting things off right with Screaming Trees.

Sorry about all the CSAM, unwanted/unknown sexual harassment & revenge porn images I had - but they’ve been deleted now, so it’s all good.

X says Grok account will stop undressing women. I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me. This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

JFC @kaine.senate.gov - not confirming a 2020 Election Denier & Jan 6 supporter is the *bare minimum* you should be doing.

Dear @mlb.com - you know games have 9 innings, so 17/18 half innings at least, so also 17/18 commercial breaks. You think you can get enough commercials to cover half of those? I don't need to hear what an "Oppo Taco" is every other break.
