To anyone wishing to verify who I am. I am in fact a "ne'r do well." It is an accurate description of me. My name is in fact in history with both great and terrible after it. I am also named after a constellation. Thank you for your interest.

This makes 0 sense. Yes, people have a hard time reaching out, they also isolate and then berate anyone who invades their space, which can lead to injury. I think it's the idiot who insists on petting a growling dog, but that doesn't negate the dangers of invading the space of a veteran with PTSD.

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

My feeling about Thomas Massie losing is the same feeling I had about Cheney losing, about Cornyn not getting endorsed, about every Republican Trump has ever purged: so long fuckface! There were Nazis who lost out in internal power struggles too, and got shot in the courtyard. Don't care, see ya

New addition just inserted in settlement agreement: a promise that the IRS won't go after Trump, hjs companies, and hjis families for unpaid taxes. Potential huge additional cost to Treasury -- i.e. us -- all iin exchange for, well, nothing, an uncognizable lawsuit.

“The Post could not independently determine who is behind XFreeze.” Hmmm in three minutes I found a SoundCloud account with a different alias that uses the same email address as this guy, and in another five minutes I had a personal Facebook, phone number, and birthday.

Trump wants to shut down US bases in Germany, but Trump also wants his war on Iran. Ramstein Air Base in Germany is serving as a central node for moving troops, personnel, air defenses (including Patriot systems), and supplies to the Persian Gulf. US drones in the ME are controlled from Ramstein.

If those are the ten points Iran has agreed to it is a complete an unqualified victory for Iran. Of course, Trump does not even know what the points are and has not agreed to them. And in the end neither side will accept them but will sign on to a process to postpone all hard decisions indefinitely.

After Trump backed down, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issued a statement claiming that "Iran has achieved a great victory and forced the criminal United States to accept its 10-point plan."

Flynn lies to the FBI, pleads guilty, flips, gets pardoned… then gets PAID over $1M by the same government he lied to? That’s not justice. That’s a payout for loyalty. And they’ll call this “accountability” with a straight face. (CNN)

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

People who hope their military self replicates.

Great question. 300+ schools either on domestic bases or attached to US military installations overseas in Germany, Japan, South Korea, Bahrain, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Guam, Cuba, Puerto Rico.

This is correct. My take is that it's the worst of both worlds: there's plenty of evidence that Hegseth is a dumbass who doesn't know what the words he uses mean and that he wants the US military to commit a bunch of war crimes.

Jon Phillips@jowiph.bsky.social

I do love the fact that, given it's Hegseth, it's equally plausible that he's announcing that the US military will execute prisoners of war as policy or that he just doesn't know what "no quarter" means

When, I joined Bluesky, I told myself to be quiet. This is a wise and simultsneously devestating instinct. Because, "An optimistic fool is commonly more successful than a pessimistic expert." Does that fool have greater instinct for social cues than I? Maybe,

a whole lot of businesspeople learning in real time that a predictable and stable regulatory state - even if you don’t like some of the regulations - is vastly preferable to “boss man doesn’t like you so you’re fucked now”

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Holy shit. A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

Fundamental misunderstanding that media decides what is important.

Ryan Mac 🙃@rmac.bsky.social

This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesn’t tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPo’s “journalistic mission” is?

I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better. Now look where we are. #TrumpFumbled
