I'm an accessibility engineer with a bad automation habit. Reading a baker's dozen books. I'll start blogging again at continuumdesign.net someday. Opinions? They’re mine. Not yours, not theirs, not my employer’s. So there their they’re.
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7
I wonder if the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is topped up.
I’d hope so, but hope is a commodity we really can’t afford in this timeline.
So let’s see. In 2026 Trump has:
1. Kidnapped a sitting leader of an oil producing nation
2. Started a war with another major producing nation. Who ALSO has the capacity to choke world supplies.
3. Presumably going to angle for a third producer’s sanctions be reduced or dropped.
And Venezuela’s refining infrastructure is in poor shape. So there won’t be a quick timeline bringing that crude to market.
20-25% of the world’s oil travels through that strait. Oil’s over $110 a barrel on the spot market. Can’t wait to see what gas prices look like as we get closer to summer. /s
Does anyone else wonder when sanctions against Russian #oil are going to be lifted? I mean with the Strait of Hormuz closed for business, it’d sure be handy for Trump to claim a win.
And Putin to rearm his war machine.
The grift would be pathetic if it wasn’t so transparent.

Nope.
What in the Sam Hill is this fool talking about? Let’s get on with removing his access to all the things.
Of course that would require Congress to grow a spine. Wonder what kind of odds Polymarket’s giving on a 25th Amendment event.
AS WE GET OLDER,
IT IS NOT UNUSUAL
TO FIXATE ON ONE THING.
Clearly our President has no staff to proof-read his tweets. How much more embarrassing can this get? This tweet literally means nothing. Every sentence in this tweet is grammatically incorrect.
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC X.com The American Embassy is being evacuated in Riyadh because of sustained attacks by Iran against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is my understanding the Kingdom refuses to use their capable military as a part of an effort to end the barbaric and terrorist Iranian regime who has terrorized the region and killed 7 Americans. Question - why should America do a defense agreement with a country like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is unwilling to join a fight of mutual interest? Americans are dying and the U.S. is spending billions to dislodge the terrorist Iranian regime that threatens the region. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seems to be issuing statements and doing things in the background that are marginally helpful, but unwilling to participate in military operations to end the reign of terror coming out of Iran. Hopefully Gulf Cooperation Council countries will get more involved as this fight is in their backyard. If you are not willing to use your military now, when are you willing to use it? Hopefully this changes soon. If not, consequences will follow.
1. Is Lindsey Graham the U.S. Secretary of State now?
Is he coordinating these threats against a U.S. ally with the White House?
Now he is demanding that a top U.S. ally enter a regime-change war?
And then threatening, “Hopefully this changes soon… if not, consequences will follow.”
Don’t Believe One Word From this President….
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
Try this again. I’m guessing this ad predated Three Mile Island.
Higher oil prices = Higher everything prices
Trump just found another way to make your life more expensive. For no real reason. While innocent people die.

Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.
oh my goodness she seems to think Special Envoy for the Shield is a real job
And to be clear, I do not agree with the policies of this administration or my home state. I’m looking for a third way and believe that big D Democrats could be that third way. It starts with honesty and sincerity.
I’ve been country all my life. And lived urban for part of it because tech jobs. You’re right on point with your comments.
Rural does not mean uneducated or simple. If Democrats are serious about making inroads in red corridors, this is a mind shift that needs to happen.
This is completely unhinged
At least it’s not that weekend we spring forward and lose a day to clock chicanery. 😏
Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.
I have a dog who gives this same look. Except he’s like, six feet long and just looks into the counter. Same energy though. “Whaddya mean I can’t take bacon off the plate?”
I thought it was rough in 2008 when we were commuter working and gas was $4 a gallon. At the prices your photo showed, that puts gas in like third place for monthly spend, no?
Holy shit!
