There is a ton of things going on but as a distraction, I figured I would try this. Battlefield 6 drops tomorrow and with it the new Portal. I downloaded the SDK and loaded it up into Xodot and I gotta admit, it’s crazy that you can do this on an iPad Pro. cc: @migueldeicaza.bsky.social

We are beta testing a new feature with the @nba.com. If you click their profile picture when there’s a red border with a “live” callout below, you will be directed to the live content they are promoting.

We aren’t trapping you in Bluesky. We want you to use Bluesky to discover what’s happening.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

This Coachella set is incredible…and I feel old.

If only we had elected representatives who, when our democracy is at risk, didn’t ruminate about when the public might “rise up” but stepped forward to lead.

We are in hell in American cybersecurity. This will embolden and fund DPRK hackers.

But the libs are being owned and politics are boring, right?

Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Sharing isn’t always caring, and I’m traumatized now.

Great fucking job @schumer.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @fetterman.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov, @cortezmasto.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov.

Tell me again how this was worth it, now that the GOP is laughing at you and planning to continue to abuse and humiliate you while destroying the US

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

And beholden to political consultants

A typical human story. Acceptance of abuse invites more abuse, even if retaliation can be costly. People are warier of people who hit back.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.

“We liked it over here,” one said.

The government-subsidized post-war research university system in the US will likely go down in history as our country’s single greatest contribution to the world.

And, for the selfish, likely our greatest source of soft (if not often hard) power.

And it is getting torched to the ground.

Walz: There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA.

If you’re in the neighborhood…

From inside the DoD:

“Schumer's bungling over the past two months & creation of this lose-lose scenario is a complete dereliction of his duties.
This was the sole moment where they had any real potential leverage to stand up and fight for the Constitution & they completely blew it from day 1.”

Really glad Democrats saved the fucking filibuster so they could NOT USE IT.

Fucking cowards

Collaborators with the fascists.

If you are a Southern California person upset about @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, the theatre his book tour will be at on 3/23 is the Moss Theatre.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.
