LIVE: @brotherjones_ is being sworn in on the Capitol steps

I was promised a sci-fi future where robots would do all the menial tasks so that humans could focus on creating art and instead you assholes built robots to do the art so we all have to fight over the jobs doing menial tasks, good job.

Yeah it's cool that Alan Turing was gay and also brilliant.

However urging people not to persecute trans and gay people because some of us might be as brilliant and useful as Turing is not it. Everyone deserves to live a happy life even if they're not super smart and produce useful inventions. Such exhortations, while well-meaning, fail to challenge the underlying problem which is that we live in a fucking meat grinder.

Picked up Jupes at school and on our way to grab coffee we saw the best window sticker.

"...he goes on Fox News to tout his 'so-called' accomplishments. What you don't hear much about is how many of those bills face serious court challenges - like his 'Stop the Woke Act,' which a judge compared to the 'upside down' dimension in 'Stranger Things.' "

Why is confronting Fox "news" so critical? It's not just their efforts to undermine democracy, pump up Putin, and sow conflict and division in the public square. They're a poisonous force responsible for the break-up of marriages, families, friendships and the most basic ability for Americans talk to each other.

It recently struck me that 27 years ago there was a movie with Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo playing drag queens,and if it came out today, someone would firebomb the theaters it was in. I'm not putting a sensitive warning on this picture because it's not fucking sensitive. its a movie that came out in 1995. things have moved backwards in a terrifying way.

Photo memory that just popped up. A simple shot, but hard.
The 2 yachts had to be the right distance apart and in just the right alignment; this meant constant talk on the VHF. Meanwhile I'm handholding a 200mm lens and trying to frame the image how I wanted it.
And the pesky sun was sinking fast (we were in the tropics) so only a few minutes to play with.
Pre-digital (2003) so no chimping either. I didn't even see the result till weeks later.

A central takeaway from the Dominion filings for me: Fox executives and hosts talked about regaining the "trust" of their audience — trust lost by deviating from the agreed-upon right-wing fantasy about the 2020 election.

Trust based on agreeing to lies.

"Would the former vice president’s testimony be historically unusual? Absolutely, but unprecedented developments are inevitable in the wake of unprecedented circumstances."
