I see some good ideas being suggested, but here's my entry: he can now *commercially* pirate music, since to really be criminal rather than civil, needs to be commercial. So he could set up the White House's official pirate streaming service. And no one could do anything.

claiming hypocrisy in cases like this is missing the point. they have completely consistent beliefs: they and their friends should be able to do whatever they want without consequence, and everyone else should be subservient to them.

"President Biden, who seemed fully conscious and did not drool on himself, warned that an asteroid would wipe out all life in three days. Though he's been long dogged by questions about his physical and mental stamina, the president remained upright as he briefed the nation on the coming apocalypse"

Most *white* Americans. There is no country on earth that imprisons more of its population than the US. Prisoners disproportionately Black. The US leads the world in child executions. Not a typo. Disproportionately Black. Life expectancy for US Black folk lower than for Uighur Chinese. Not a typo

And remember, the Christian Right only took up abortion as a topic after they lost school segregation for good when the IRS went after Bob Jones’ U status, & needed a new issue to rally the troops. 1/x all our issues are intertwined. 🧵

reminds me of a report from rotten.com decades ago: old guy died while in bathtub. is found days later, with kitchen immersion heater (for warm bath water) still on. when grabbing the leg, the bone glitches right out. he was well done.

one is a bomb defuser, the other is the bomb. I think some urging him to step aside are worried he's too old to defuse the bomb. They might be helping to elect the bomb instead though. and yeah, no point in telling the bomb to defuse itself. there should be wide alarm calls instead.

It's an extension of the larger assumptions in our political media -- Democrats are the only ones with any agency or morality, while the awfulness of Republicans is taken as a fixed constant.

From Piketty: "brief history of equality" We were on a good path until the 1980s. Then globalization and neoliberalism took over. We need to wrestle back the steering wheel. Make this a fair society.

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.

Orphaned wells are a climate and public health nightmare. The oil industry continues to dump *billions* in cleanup costs onto taxpayers and is fighting reform efforts.

Fantastic reporting by Mark Olalde for @propublica.bsky.social on an issue that rarely gets the attention it deserves:

Trump is a wrecking ball. That's why a lot of people support him. You're not going to assess the intelligence/morals of a pipe bomb you plan to use. The scandal is media treating him as a legitimate candidate.

Gonna keep saying this & will die on this hill: Bad news without any guidance on what to do about it [at least some ideas] demobilizes and often encourages inaction. We on the Left(s) have to avoid cynicism which is deeply corrosive and also counterrevolutionary.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

alternatively: check the law, and apply it. the one who's not in prison gets to be president.

If I ever end up with a grave (not a fan), install a big button that says "press here". Have it play the theme from A-Team. My mind has been playing this for *years* now on a daily basis. I'm actually enjoying it. Sharing is caring.

#FixTheGlitch: As a global society, we have many existential problem right now that need different approaches.

To solve any problem, you need energy. #money allocates it in our society.

Our energy allocation system is leaking: more and more ends up with the greedy rich.

We need to fix this first.

I think one big problem with Christianity (probably most religions): You're seeking wisdom, which means growing up. But you're dogmatically trapped in a children's story. Santa doesn't exist? How dare you! Go to hell!
