M 🤹 (Spring Into Glonzo)

Oh, he’s in throwing everyone else under the bus mode now

And yet also would have ridden shotgun in the Stancil Honda Fit. The better to live-reply-guy-poast

Beginning to suspect this war of choice was not burdened by analysis

tonight the White House touched the stove and went oof ouch owie. Tomorrow? The stove shall beckon again

sometimes a headline could just be "humans everywhere experience pattern recognition"

Tesco the golden retriever lies on a porch outside, with sun and shadows streaming over her, smiling up at the camera like the happiest girl alive. Her favorite blue and orange ball is between her paws.

The spring enjoyer

I think the reason this works is that it manages to deflect from trans issues without conceding Republican framing. It's not advocacy in itself but it's head and shoulders above Newsom and his ilk.

this has come up a few times, but so we're clear

you could have your absolute pick of AI experts willing to testify that the bot is a tool, it can do literally anything, and the person who pushes through on the results is responsible, either by action or negligence

Just so people on bluesky are aware…I was very early bluesky and I very much actively followed every dog account I could find that signed up and now when I open bluesky I basically am given pure dog content straight to the brain stream every time. I am proposing everyone else do this. The end.

Why (Do) We Fight On Communicating the Object of a War

Hey look. I wrote about the reasons for communicating the justifications and goals of wars.

remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

so Janet Mills was on the board of directors of a civil rights organization for 20 years, and while it was a women's rights org her co-founder of The Maine Women's Lobby, Lois Galgay Reckitt was a Lesbian and the origination fought for LGBT rights

20 years worth of work shows she fucking care.

Maturing is realizing Big Ag and GMOs are good actually

Bluesky, I would pay you five bucks a month for basically nothing except not making me pretend I care about federation

But also if you are the Iranian regime and you survive this, you obviously sprint to a nuclear weapon, right?

Like, flat out dead sprint, as fast as you can, trying to get there before Netanyahu gets Uncle Sam to ambush you in a dark alley again. That seems the obvious move.

I dream of the day when every member of a “farming community” is marched at bayonet point into a Blackrock owned new construction five-over-one adjacent to light rail and now we are another step closer to achieving it

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

Are you fucking kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? This got covered up for SEVEN YEARS?

It’s literally just the fucking Stalin bit omfg

not now earthquake

the pattern we saw today was also how it went during Covid and the Liberation Day crashes. The market crashes, Trump says exactly what the market wants to hear and the market rallies back, it's then revealed that what Trump was saying is bullshit, but the market stays up instead of crashing

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

It is a snowflake rotating in 196,833-dimensional space

you rubes. you complete and utter fools. anyone with a brain can see this is a multidimensional, metaphysical conflict. a conceptual battlefield. we've only barely begun to end the start of this thing.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

State Dept. Said to Order Diplomats in Saudi Arabia to Leave

Nothing says Gulf War Three is going well more than *checks notes* ordering a mandatory evacuation of Americans from the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

NEW piece from me @goodauth.bsky.social on the disastrous consequences of Trump and Rubio dismantling U.S. diplomacy. Managing the Iran War will be much harder; so will picking up the pieces. Diplomacy is a tool of war AND of peace.

Great how Europe is redeploying some of its best equipment away from Russia to deal with a crisis created by our "security guarantor."
