Ok, it’s obviously really bad that Secretary Hegseth is wasting so much money on luxury items in general
But people know that Lobster is on the seafood watch Red List because lobster traps kill critically endangered North Atlantic right whales, right?

The "AI" is a disgusting and dystopian special element but the real story is that after the cops arrested this lady (with just a LLM facial recognition suggestion and no other investigation) she was in jail for 105 days before she saw a judge and got a chance to argue. Lost her home, car, and more.

Alexander Hamilton
14 MARCH 1776, NEW YORK: The New York provincial congress commissions Alexander Hamilton captain of an artillery company, with responsibility for raising the company.
I'm seeing more and more people using the alt text feature for images/gifs and I want to see EVEN MORE OF IT.
A small mug in dark red-brown with a curlicued handle and beautiful gold/copper glaze effects.
A big black cat guarding a wode swath of brown paper.
Not only does @brambledragon.bsky.social make beautiful mugs (love, love, love his reds) but he carefully and kindly packages enough crinkle paper to keep a large cat very happy.
at some point do we have to wonder if internal power struggles are killing orchestras and not lack of vision
“Heritage Foundation is being openly racist”
No
They’re messaging and comms is being openly racist
They’ve been racist , you just thought they may have had a “point” and felt a way that Black people calling out racism had power for a minute
And now it doesn’t
You can scoop the content
While U.S. service members die in another forever war in the Middle East, Donald Trump’s “peace envoy” is raising money for his private equity firm.
Note there is nothing in this piece about the benefit to students. "Success" is defined in this piece as capacity to further the program of commercial capture of education & revenue-generation through distance-learning. An example here and then a laughable follow-up in my next post.

Here's the thing: every fear you have about this is why they made it. They've been jerking off to the thought of doing this for decades. They actively mean you harm
Operation Epic Fury is a stupid name but also an obvious fumble because it's so easy for the haters (me) to insult them by calling it Operation Epic Fail. it's like naming your kid Holden Cox and sending them to public school
Yeah, I think people who need to pay for gas will have something to worry about, Hegseth.
Look, if you have a Republican rep: now is the perfect time to call them. Quote your gas prices at them, and then quote Hegseth at them, and ask them what their response is?
Nobody NOBODY can take a young actor out to the woodshed like an old theatre one .

A tiny little furry orb with little ears looks at the camera with its little beady black eyes. Its sitting on the edge of a patch of snow on a wooden deck covered with sunflower seed shells.

Happy black and tan husky mix smiling and ears popping while she prepares to catch a bite of poptart crust in the snow.
Same dog, looking over her shoulder - and covered with snow. It’s been coming down pretty steadily since I took this pic; we’re up to maybe a couple inches.
Same happy dog covered in snow.
Another pic of the dog with snow poof on her nose. She is smiling in the snow at the end of a red leash.
this is usually the part where I post a Morning Monty but you guys we have SNOW and Lucy is HERE FOR IT
1) It was NOT a blood libel. 2) If the IDF's legal system is to protect IDF personnel, rather than pursue justice under Israel's military codes, then it isn't a true military code of justice & nothing done w/in the IDF's legal system is legit.
Even better, focus on Trump dancing while the dignified transfer for the NCO killed in Saudi was being undertaken at Dover. Split screen the images.

The reason choads like Duffy are afraid of public transit isn’t crime - it’s the fear of having to be in close proximity to people who don’t look like themselves. Law firm partners and investment bankers ride the same subway as home health care aides and construction workers.
A closeup of a tabby cat, Joe, lying on the edge of a desk. His chin is cocked and his eyes are slit. His polydactyl paws are crossed in front of him. At first glance he looks serious, but he was being brushed, and he loves being brushed. He doesn’t even mind having his claws trimmed if I’m being honest. #CatsOfBlueSky
Daring me to trim his claws.
I mean, it's not actually a surprise that they think this; it's been pretty obvious for a while.
It is a surprise that they're stupid enough to say it out loud.
A bright red bird stands in a tangle of bare branches looking gorgeous.
March is wild. In 24 hours we’ve gone from 80 degrees F to massive thunderstorms overnight and now it’s snowing!
Anyway, here’s a male cardinal looking fabulous, regardless of the weather

The day-long standoff marked the first major confrontation between protesters and federal immigration authorities in Vermont. Federal law enforcement deployed tear gas and flashbangs on a normally busy street in the state’s second largest city to disperse activists.
