Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(
You can like something and think a lot of it is pretty good and still hold the opinion that it had its day and we don’t need more of it now

Team USA Paralympian wheelchair curler selfie from Cortina Curling Center Mixed Doubles game
Live from the Cortina Curling Arena watching Draw 4 of Paralympics Mixed Doubles Curling, cheering on Team USA before practice!
Finishing up Day 3 in the Paralympic Village, great to see my mixed doubles teammates starting off with a big W against a very good Latvian team! 🇺🇸🥌
Dark-haired white woman in a sequined bathing suit kind of costume and high heels, grinning at us. She’s standing/posing in front of a giant clock, pretending to adjust the minute hand. It looks like it’s a photo from maybe the early 1950s or late 1940s.
Me, approaching my microwave and stove this evening.
This whole idea is completely insane, and Congress should grow a spine and stop it.
Yeah, I get it. My 2005 Corolla was enough to vote last year, so I decided not to wait. I had the same “goldilocks” issues with what was available, including dealership locations.
IIRC researching my 2025 car shop, there’s definitely a plug-in hybrid Prius, and also a plug-in hybrid Rav4 ;)

I met one of the littlest Wonder Woman fans! Too cute!! 🥰
This is why we keep trying to create ad hoc specialized units of women. Like the Lioness Teams. Unfortunately because they were ad hoc, they didn't get the specialized training or support to be successful in undertaking the mission & in surviving the mission in terms of mental health. 1/
6 MARCH 1776, BOSTON: “The firing has ceased this day”: the townspeople have been given their first night’s sleep since March 1 without continuous cannonfire. But that disturbance has been replaced with another frenzy:
It's really OK to not be the main character at every point of life and just read and watch stories about other people without turning it into some fulfilment ritual
We have a lot of reporting over the past three years about what can go wrong w/AI and targeting. Starting in early 2024 +972 Magazine started reporting deep dives into the IDF's LLM based targeting program. This followed on their reporting on what the IDF was targeting in Gaza. 4/
Not getting into the Discourse but there's a reason why every company worth the name hires professionals to talk to heir user/consumer base and don't allow every employee to go B2C and tell the public what they really think of them and maybe the folk running this app should consider that
We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.
I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it
I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:
Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.
One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.
The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.
The motto of the Brazilian resistance to Bolsonaro was “Ninguém solta a mão de ninguém”—“no one let go of anyone’s hand”
They got it. Dems have no excuse
The authority that Trump has asserted in taking America to war against Iran is, like many of his other power grabs, an expression of the very tyranny the Framers were seeking to prevent. “Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young congressman named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.
The design of the Constitution divided warmaking authority between Congress and the executive to prevent a president to take the country to war by themselves for any petty or self-serving reason. You know, like a king would. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I understand the "Tie it to the Circuits" historical rationale, but please consider the following.
Split CA and AZ off to create a 14th circuit then add a nationwide specialized tax circuit.
Boom! 15 circuits. 15 SCOTUS Justices.
LRT Now I have an ear worm of Tom Lehrer singing “Alma.”

also have I posted or texted about Alma Mahler enough for that to auto capitalize…i may have
Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.
After Trump officials cut food aid to Kenya, children starved to death in an American-made hunger crisis.
