I do believe that was mooted and then rejected by the honorable judge Marko a few years back… but I’ll try him again. Maverick has been in this org for quite some time, huh?

This is still true for us. It hasn't ended.

and adding to Claude’s ennui by doing it, you monster.

Not to be that guy, but they for sure did not make a chat bot sentient. It's just drafting off the general anxiety of the entire internet, and reproducing it.

Come on, You Spurs! (derogatory) Hasn’t Dustin suffered enough??!

Never, never, NEVER imagine there are not more depths to be plummed, my friend.

I’ve seen enough:

I’ve seen too much

Dangerous PFAS Chemicals Add to Mississippi’s Water Woes - Consumer Reports Dangerous PFAS forever chemicals were found in 98 percent of Mississippi tap and well water samples taken statewide and tested by Consumer Reports.

For what its worth, our study at Consumer Reports and many other projects like the great work by EWG suggest that the numbers are much higher then half. And lets not start on the 45 million or so Americans who drink well water.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

But yes! Walk out! Everyone in the caucus! Leave a picture of Epstein - or, maybe, of US citizens deported by ICE, or something. or whatever!! It’s all Symbolic, but so is politely clapping and pretending like a senile set pest is worth the respect of three hours you will never get back.

The ongoing fallacy for me is that these absolute fucking Gerunds seem to think that inaction is not a stance. Like they can wind down the clock by playing some sort of passive prevent defense. YOU ARE TAKING A STANCE VIA THIS DECORUM BULLSHIT AND WE ALL HEAR IT LOUD AND CLEAR.

Truly, the perfect epitaph to be carved on the grave of this iteration of the Democratic Party.

Also, the physical media is much harder for a massive shady company to simply remove from your life forever.

I feel like the Atlantic is just a parody account at this point, written by the same people behind the NYTimes Pitchbot.

Do you think there would ever be a line after which he could no longer be presidential?

You missed the game Sunday, then?

I’m a Consumer Advocate. The Rulemaking Process Is Rigged in Favor of Corporations, Not People From PFAS to consumer finance, corporate power distorts the rulemaking process. Here’s how to rebuild agencies that serve the public.

The “waste, fraud, and abuse” narrative misses what really breaks government: the political power of monopolies and concentrated wealth.

Consumer Advocate @bmorons.bsky.social argues for a new North Star: co-governance—meaningful public participation and fewer tools for corporate obstruction. ⬇️

missed in this otherwise excellent analysis: Avatar is just a shot by shot remake of Fern Gully.

Ain’t no such thing as a good billionaire, yall. Even one who signs Pete Alonso.

Worse then that - all that money is going back to corporations, who just spent a year passing the costs of terrifs on to consumers. Sure feels like trickle-up economics to me!

Sounds like this is going to be a huge corporate payout, after companies spent the last year passing on costs to consumers. Amazing trickle-up policy at work!

Hey @nberlat.bsky.social. I am enjoying the newsletter. Wonder if you'd be willing to toss me a follow, so I can ask you some poetry advice!

I know of one focused on an 8th division regional league in Italy…

Still seems AWFUL early for that Past Tense thing there, too. Or does the Senator have reason to believe that ICE is going to do what they say this time, and give all the people back they just snatched?

Beers at training sounds about right.

Already a curling fan. This is only helping.

Trump Allies Near ‘Total Victory’ in Wiping Out U.S. Climate Regulation

Whew. History books gonna have a real hard time figuring out which of the current administration is going to do the most long term economic damage and have the most blood on their hands, but my money is on these four absolutely unhinged distructive loons: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/c...

I realize that dunking on the NYT is passé; but, motherfuckers, the reason Americans consume a shitton of weed is that it’s cheaper than the physical and mental healthcare we can’t afford.

Geoffrey is one of the good ones, and you should read this!
