ABC is also not airing it. Curious!

NBC (regular tv) is NOT covering the babbling #war presser this morning. A new break.

NEW: This is pretty extraordinary moment in Iran yesterday (March 9). As a journalist broadcasts live, three explosions are heard.

The crowd does not panic nor flee, it becomes euphoric, chanting "Allahu Akbar" and "We will fight, we will die but we will not surrender!”

(🎥 Press TV, Iran)

It appears the CEO here is leaving. New leadership may be worrisome.

Take care. It can get better.

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

Get ready for this place to be optioned and sold to a much larger company. The "public benefit" is over. They're going to pawn this off to a billionaire and cash in. Then they're going to show up at all of those Trump events with their newfound fellow rich friends, failing upwards forever.

Update: Toni Schneider had an inactive account that he reactivated after a 28 day deactivation, and essentially threatened his way to becoming CEO of the platform by promising to cut their funding if they didn't give him control.

Jay Graber, who never actually wanted to be CEO, gladly complied.

The response is….comprehensive.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that."  

Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

I am self-employed. Obamacare is how I get insured. My rates doubled this year. DOUBLED. Does our government believe that only people who work for corporations should be allowed to live?

I could not recall this pitcher on the Cardinals, but I found he only played in 13 games for them. His career started in 1962.

“Iran has some Tomahawks.”

Gonna need a factcheck on that one.

Must have missed the FMS announcement for sale of TLAMs to Iran.

RAJU: Footage shows an American missile likely destroyed the Iranian girls' school. Will the US accept any respons--

TRUMP: Well, I haven't seen it. I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is sold and used by other countries. Iran has some Tomahawks.

But the goal to have 1 million city residents by 2033 or even 2037 seems as likely as HSR from STL to KC by then.

Jack running for STL mayor in 2037.

Jack running for STL mayor in 2037.

I have no idea who this #stl person is, but they appear to be launching a run for mayor in 2037. So, with such forward thinking optimism being contagious, today I announce, I’m running for mayor in 2041.
If coffee and/or easy access to water runs out by 2040, I’m going to delay my run until 2045. 🧐

A New Chapter for Bluesky - Bluesky After several intense and incredible years building Bluesky from the ground up, I've decided to step back as CEO and transition to a new role as Bluesky's Chief Innovation Officer.

WordPress' first outside CEO has become Bluesky's first outside CEO. That's interesting. bsky.social/about/blog/0...
