Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Must read: @mattgertz.bsky.social on the Orbanization of the press:
The bottom line is Trump doesn’t want a free and open press. He wants a press that is nice to him, that will protect him from negative stories, that will give him fawning coverage.

Last month, like a good Wisconsinite, I checked to make sure my snow thrower started up and has gas.
Today, 3” of snow and when I tried to start it, well..it fired, but I had to keep my finger on the primer.
Ended up shoveling the driveway by hand.
I also need ice melt.

I am a staunch Bardolator—I usually shut down around authorship debates. I refused to watch Anonymous and yelled at my tv when I started the documentary (et, tu, Sir Derrick Jacoby?)
But I adored Stalking Shakespeare.
Maybe because my ADHD micro obsessions closely resemble Lee Durkee’s.

Excusing child r*pist because the victims were 15 instead of 8 years old is a hell of a take.
If you haven’t seen this SiriusXM video in which Megyn Kelly excuses Epstein and others for rape by stating that they weren’t sexually abusing eight-year-olds, only 15-year-olds, save yourself the time.
It’s vile.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.
