I should add there are also big geopolitical implications to an American company being able to dump potentially lethal debris on Canada (and other countries) with no apparent consequence, but that's a whole other thread (that I've written before) and I need to go check for baby goats again.

I’ve been in love with this statue for a year. It’s kinda like a native plant chia pet 🙃

I really wish everyone who doesn’t live in the states would stop equating the crazy shit coming out of the White House as “American” or “US” when it is Trump and his goons literally breaking our laws and court orders :/

And don’t start the “you voted for him” because we didn’t. He did not win by popular vote.

At this point, it’s hardly conspiratorial to posit that Musk pulled last minute shenanigans in key states that tipped the election.

Bitcoin is pure evil

“From mid-2022 to mid-2023, the 34 mines consumed 32.3 terawatt-hours of electricity—33% more than Los Angeles—85% of which came from fossil fuels. We estimated that 1.9 million Americans were exposed to ≥0.1 μg/m3 of additional PM2.5 pollution from Bitcoin mines, often hundreds of miles away from the communities they affected.”

So apparently there's now a tariff on a U.S. military base because nobody at the White House actually knows anything about the "countries" they put on the list, or where our military bases are, and so they put an island with a U.S. base on the list. In case you thought there was some 3D chess going on. No.

Americans' taxes just went up by $6 trillion. That is a million dollars multiplied by 6 million.

Don't tell me Trump is trying to save anything. This guy is a economy destroyer -- and not just ours.

Glad to see CNN telling the simple truth in this headline:

I do not want your Gemini,
I do not want any AI.
I do not want it in my Chrome,
I do not want it in my home.
Not in my mail,
Even on sale,
Not in my app,
None of this crap.
I do not want it here or there,
I do not want it anywhere!

When I was leaving for work this morning, I noticed our regular Swamp Wallaby in the front yard (who had clearly noticed me too).

She has a joey in her pouch who's clearly getting fairly large.

@SecurityWriter in a heinous kind of way…

Current heart throbs 💓

@cR0w lol hitchin’ a ride

It’s Cory Booker.

I just walked off the Senate floor.

I may be tired and a little hoarse,
but as I said again and again, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent.
We must speak up.

I am filled with hope.

My team just told me that tens of thousands of you have voiced your support for my remarks on the Senate floor.

It will be a while before I can fully get through all your messages and powerful stories,
but what’s clear to me tonight is this is just the beginning.

Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when Donald Trump chose to spread lies and sow fear,
we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

If you support our movement for justice, opportunity, and freedom,
add your name to stand with me.

I made pralines, made a trail mix, and now I’m picking the pralines out of the trail mix #HotelLife

There is hope 💃

@JoshuaHolland monster.

I bought some dried fruit which looks like and is packaged like my dogs’ favorite treats.

This is what happened when I tried to eat them.
