"(I don’t actually wish him good luck.)" sent me.
Until fairly recently, the Ball Corporation dominated its fields of home canning equipment and space telescopes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_...
Comcast (so NBC, not Fox).
Glonzo politics means do good things ("fix long-range electrical transmission…") but blame popular villains ("…because the kaiju Glonzo keeps eating electricity!"), not "do dumb things because Glonzo keeps eating electricity". What a disastrous idea—especially if it polls well & others adopt it.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my Rebecca West post. You have all given me heart and courage.
I've written about what I'm up to here. Please forward this to anyone who might be interested

Diplomacy worked, which was embarrassing enough to the hardliners that they're salting the earth to make sure it never works again.
A local market carries Fox's U Bet Syrup! I was married to a woman of the Bronx, lived downstairs from a Chinese glutton from the borough, and took lessons at Captain Haggerty's School for Dogs at Tremont and Jerome, where the thing is taken for a Puerto Rican delicacy, so I know exactly what to do.
Folks, please read Talia Jane's threads about the New York protest yesterday before sharing stuff about it. It wasn't an attempt to bomb Gracie Mansion; it was a (failed) attempt—plausibly by teenagers radicalized online?—to detonate a pipe bomb at the site of a chud anti-Mamdani rally.
Amazingly, her career didn't end until *2024*.

@lioneltrolling.bsky.social’s “When the Clock Broke” is basically about tracing the roots of Trump back to 1988-1992, with Ross Perot serving as a very interesting prefiguration.
(He's too old to start it now but he would have made an exemplary Bond.)
The thing about this movie is that it is one of the few movies where it's like, yes, this plot makes perfect sense because look how fuckable Tom Hiddleston is; of course everyone wants to either bang him or be him (or both)! Most movies just have as the baseline that everyone is rizzed up.
My understanding is that Page is probably worse in terms of beliefs but Berger is the Mitch McConnell of North Carolina and hard to immediately replace as an orchestrator of bad things.
Jack Kirby, with Chic Stone, tells a tale about Jack Ruby’s murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, from May 1967’s Esquire magazine.
I had no idea at all “46 Hours & 36 Minutes In The Life Of Jack Ruby” existed. It’s amazing what you can turn up while trawling through old archives.
If they weren’t pervert glasses, I would love a HUD of real-time captioning of conversations as I get older and my hearing gets worse. Also face recognition so I can remember my wife’s colleague’s partner’s name at a cocktail party. That’s about it?

Today is the birthday of Will Eisner (March 6, 1917-Jan. 3, 2005), one of the most influential American comic creators of all time.
Wait, is that *Ed Wood* Ed Wood? (Gotta be, with the interest in drag, right?) Amazing!
It's Bandcamp Friday, folks! Here's a rarity from the Fugazi vaults: rejected In on the Killtaker demos recorded by Steve Albini, with proceeds being donated to Letters Charity, a charity supported by Steve and Heather). fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...
@kjhealy.co has a new version of his data visualization book coming out and 1) you’d be a fool not to get it especially if you do R stuff 2) it’s gonna be even more beautiful than the first one, which is truly lovely book 3) he put the ENTIRE content on his website for free, you lucky so-and-so
(To be fair to Whedon I don't think he gave the aesthetic considerations of Westerns' love for the Lost Cause any thought and was purely chasing the surface vibe, untroubled by any consideration of "hey is this really racist?")
Outlaw Josey Wales-ass TV show
Win-win situation for a bunch of schnucks, where if he wins you can shove it in the face of “the groups” and if he loses you can blame “the groups”.
Claude logo critique.
Combined with the ethics and transparency of Louisiana municipal politics.
Sorry, Dan McKee’s, not Reed’s. But they will never stop nominating charismaless machine hacks no one likes.
Everyone (correctly) talks shit about the NY Democratic Party, but Rhode Island's is breathtakingly bad; I saw a UNH poll (I know, I know) with him clocking a 21% approval rate.
I guess—and this would never, ever happen—in theory a Democratic Senate could impeach Noem once she's out of office and a Democratic House could convict her, but I *think* the only outcome would be that she could be barred from holding future federal office.
