Ne’er do well-no really. Witty once in a blue moon..sometimes obtuse. Believe in freedom to get in your own way when necessary. There’s still magic in the world if we look closely and quietly..

He’s redrawn the world order perfectly. Through his cowardice and avarice he succeeded in alienating most of the world and relegating a once great and trusted power-to a decades-long rebuilding development prospect.
Seems not good.
Thrush, Catharine Hyde.
Salvagia looks interesting!
Surprise!

In the secular transition, like the demographic transition, countries are expected to follow similar patterns of change, starting at different times. Do you agree with @joshuaeaton.bsky.social that secular transition should not be seen as a narrative of progress? 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

He’s sorry for all the pain he’s caused and the damage he’s done, and he’s going to spend the rest of his life trying to fix it.
That pushes things a bit. To get confirmation Neanderthals were using arrows would be amazing.
Wow. Saw this earlier-thanks for posting.

As so frequently happens in Xi's China, the head of the Chinese Communist Party's International Department has mysteriously disappeared. Western officials would not cheer Liu Jianchao’s downfall, rather they should be weary of a tyrannical state filled with violent intrigues.

We just find the most productive variety then manipulate it to granular level..but even like bananas-if you go to Asia, you’ll some that taste like raspberry, some like potato, citrusy ones-the list goes on-while here we’ve figured out to plant the same variety of corn so close it looks like turf.
I'm concerned about the multi-state outbreak of vibrio vulnificus (flesh-eating bacteria) in the Gulf, with 60+ cases across 5 states, & 10+ deaths. On my travels along the gulf states, I didn't see any additional information on how to stay safe. I wonder how CDC cuts have impacted this response.
Poor guy. What a terrible event-and such a common and normally harmless activity. My guess is it won’t affect enough people to get NH attention..but heck-I’ll throw a prayer in for him.
Nate Silver passed his sell-by date years ago. But when he started pushing the lab leak theory, about which he understands nothing, that you really see what a total muttonchop he is.
“Muttonchop”..fits well I think.
Interesting to think though-unless you’re speculating in leveraged instruments-this is nothing compared to equities.
Was reading up on potatoes once-and aside from the like 3 varieties we use- there are like hundreds of others with different characteristics. Think if we ever become a free trade nation again-might be cool to explore different varietals..
Like the perspective👍🏼
Welp, going all-in on the last free day..sure will pair perfectly with a Guinness..may your labors yield you satisfaction, joy, and prosperity🍻

Trump’s team just emailing press releases…
Kind of like Trump jamming our country’s navigation. I’m sure EU leaders know they’re at war, I wonder if the people do..funny that the situation is reversed in the US.
It’ll give “grinders” a new meaning..
Didn’t they do a preemptive strike on themselves?
I have that problem also-except it’s bifurcated…works well from 4-7am, then starts whirring again around ten. It’s a curse I think :)

I suspect he'll try to bury the Maxwell pardon soon, probably with an illegal invasion of Chicago.

“In 2017, O’Hanlon was captured at Trump’s first inauguration festivities in DC decked out in his full Eagle Scouts uniform. The photographer who took the photo wrote on his personal website of ‘the Boy Scout kid that looked like a Brownshirt.’”
Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone votes out GOP so workers can benefit from the fruits of their labor! 💙
Great colors-very optimismy!
Compare these first two photos of Trump from the cabinet meeting last Tuesday, August 26 (screen captured from the video) to the recent ones from Getty images from this weekend (after his several day disappearance).
Shit, the living corpse has had all weekend to figure out which one of a hundred batshit ideas he wants to EO by sharpie.
I’m sure Trump can find something else to cave on for his idol.

Always something comforting about that bit.
I was cackling at garlic and vampires, but bone-petite sent me into orbit. Some of you are absolute morons, and I don’t mean Mamdani.
Wow imagine that
Festers.
I’ve seen vids where people engage them with humor and maybe a little sympathy for the position they’re in-a good approach. I don’t think any guardsperson signed-up to be terror weasels-unlike the thugs in ICE.. maybe this will help when Trump tries to order them to kill people.
The thing is I'm going to keep suggesting more and more radical behavior the longer this goes on no matter what the capabilities are of the current people in power. This is why you do what needs to be done now and not later. It gets harder later.

Happy Labour Day 👋
We can acknowledge he’s in the fight without automatically coronating him. I’ve followed him since the beginning-and he comes with a LOT of baggage. Maybe he’ll prove he can carry the fight-but he doesn’t get a blank check. I think even far lefties know we have to be in this together to stop this.
Seems pretty unwise..but I’m sure they can understand that sign at least.

Not all workers get today off! While you enjoy your holiday, many agricultural workers are hard at work planting, harvesting, and packaging the food we eat every day. Today lest honor those workers and thank them for their amazing work. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
Fascinating..remember implementation of this at a large package delivery company…the boards used today were capable of recording all sorts of things besides deliveries long before it was known to drivers…some functions even to managers..before implementation, drivers had control of their routes...
Happy Labor Day! This from Sven Beckert’s forthcoming CAPITALISM: A GLOBAL HISTORY details capitalists’ deliberate sabotage of knowledge production amongst the late 19th century coalescing industrial working class in order to cement their control and exploitation.

A new horror everyday..think this might’ve been when I first I saw one of your posts on twitter…indeed COVID’s impacts weren’t equal. I remember being in Aspen at the airport when it was literally jammed with private jets..ironically, they brought it with them and overwhelmed the health system.
Ikr-I’m really digging the espresso maker..funny I had a Brazilian friend who would drag one around with him when we were playing sports-now I’m definitely sold☺️
I’ll never forget how inspiring this flight was..Italia was fighting for its life, and the right here played cynical games as COVID bore down on us-the vaccine was a miracle-and now, we’re back to the right “contrarians” dismantling our national health system-fuck. youtu.be/R8b2U70yFh8?...

Let's call it what it is: pundits who punch down at Bluesky do so because they view it as an existential threat to their milquetoast brand of centrist political contrarianism. They know they can't build the audience to be relevant here simply by selling the same drivel they pander over there
💯
Would also mention the National Guard-which setup vax stations all over-and managed the logistics and care like the world class people they are. The current work they’re being assigned is a debasement of their value to our communities.
Watching Italy fight COVID with all they had was heartbreaking.
Can think of National Guard personnel who did excellent work organizing and jabbing with a smile. What a difference a despot and five years makes.

Who knows, I’m sure corruption is rampant in Venezuela, and if there’s one thing this regime knows-it’s corruption. I’m sure they’ll find minions to work with.
Well, an extra year as what? Living to 150 as an immobile prune with basic functions until a miracle cure comes seems repulsive-we live extended lives already compared to prior generations..but what quality of life? We should be extending healthspan for all-rather than prunage for the ultra-rich.
