HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
"Sure, technically, I’m a part-time lecturer and not a professor, but seeing as how no one in my family gets that, a roving gang of far-right street thugs won’t request my full job title and last pay stub before bashing in my skull with a mini bat."

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Wisconsin, 40s, but feel like I may be an outlier.
I was teaching college freshmen the year this song was at the Super Bowl. My students were chatting about it for a literary analysis assignment on songs/short stories.
just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.
Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic’s Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.
The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.
That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

As the media coverage of this expands, note how many can bother to mention that this was made possible by trump administration corruption, including a fake Trump DOJ antitrust investigation into the merger's competitive impacts that will now magically evaporate
God. Republicans just jammed through a surprise sandhill crane HUNTING period in Wisconsin. www.wjfw.com/news/regiona...

What would normally be presidency-ending scandals not even a blip on the radar

Wow.
How much Americans have shelled out to Elon Musk through government contracts: $38 billion.
How much Elon Musk made last year: $200+ billion
How much Tesla paid in federal taxes last year: $0.
Oligarchy is real. The system is rigged.
Forget the film. This is the real Wuthering Heights.
Top Withins bathed in a romantic pink hue at sunrise on Valentine's Day. Who needs AI when reality gives you perfection?
Instead, I see a deeper level of bullshitification—unless and until real sentient AI takes over.
I don’t think the oligarchs will want to get rid of bullshit jobs—even if AI reaches new levels. The populace would become too activist.
Reports of the white-collar job’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Reading “Bullshit Jobs” for the first time and thinking about how AI infiltrating the workplace is likely creating MORE bullshit jobs, not less. #justspitballing
Winter scene: snowfield with footprints and spruce trees in the distance.
Sometimes I like winter; most times, I like it best when it’s starting to leave.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground
Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.
Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.
Wild fact from @billmckibben.bsky.social's latest newsletter:
"The last colder-than-average month on planet earth was in February of 1985, which means that no one under the age of forty has ever known one."
IRENA data show cost of key solar supply chain/manufacturing costs/components will fall PLUS solar efficiency and power increase thru 2030.
Solar gets cheaper to make & more efficient!
Solar & batteries become more competitive vs. gas & coal generation.
