Just got onto a book-club meeting and watched the host kick off everyone using one of those AI-transcription tools -- a beautiful sight. (The group is Carbonauts, BTW -- highly recommended.) thecarbonauts.com/

That thunderclap moment when you realize the amazing similarities between the voices of Joanna Newsom and Iris DeMent. (It's followed by the profound wish for new music in 2024 from one or the other or both.)

Look - Trump is selling our nation's secrets. So far, the courts are letting him get away with it.

Please retweet this info - I had a TS/SCI clearance for 30 years and we just let our secrets out the WH front door.

NGL, the phrase "a strong Lunar economy" makes me want to burn down a fking bank. Calling this a leap for humanity sickens me. Techbros. It's a leap for techbros.

Not to vaguebook (do we have a generic term for that yet?), but: Some days staying in a closet is infinitely more work than the insanely hard work of coming out of it. The problem is when you're just... not into doing that work either way 🤪

So much freedom. So much democracy.

"Let's just cancel all that voting and crown our orange king now, before the brown woman makes him keep talking."

RNC considers cancelling the remaining 48 primaries (including SC) and declaring Trump the candidate.

Anybody who talks about "secession" should know that, in the United States of America, "secession" isn't a real thing. It wasn't in 1860-1861 and it isn't in 2024.

Secession implies some right to leave a union. Such a right might exist in other countries; it hasn't in the U.S. since the Articles of Confederation went into effect.

"Secession" in the U.S. is simply a cover name for insurrection and rebellion. It was defeated in 1865 and it'll be beaten again.
