Schwarzenegger has always been a fairly progressive Republican. At this point, he seems to be the only survivor of that group. On the other hand, he is notoriously hard to kill.

We should put up signs outside the White House, and Congress, and the Supreme Court, explaining that they do not display our objective reality.

There is no middle position on human rights. If you aren’t for them, you are against them.

Once you give up on the principle of evidence-based reasoning, everything is on the table. You can speculate about whatever insane bullshit you want and it doesn’t have to make sense.

JD Vance is the Ted Cruz of the administrative branch.

I really wish they would quit putting physical buttons under touchpads. Separate buttons are actually still useful. Putting them underneath interferes with the use of both the touchpad and the buttons.

Ultimately, positive masculinity is the same thing as positive femininity. They are both about being a good person, helping others, and never being afraid of what other people might think of your behavior. They can be expressed in many different ways, but the principles are the same. There is just positive humanity.

I understand the concern, but there are some low-impact options. Take a look at the Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E. It is thicker than a credit card, but it has the same length and width. It can serve as a tracker. It also works just fine as a personal Meshtastic radio.

The main issue with using a Meshtastic tracker is that there are places where there just aren’t enough nodes to make it practical. It generally works quite well in urban areas.

It’s a good thing he’s in “talks”. I’m not sure he knows how to read.

I predict a dramatic increase in the number of suicides. Specifically among those desperately calling 911 for help.

That’s wonderful. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

My rather will appreciate it too.

I was born in South Carolina, but my parents moved to Iowa when I was four, rather than put me into that school system.

They tell me that whenever someone pointed out that their schools were 49th in the country, they would smile and say, “Thank God for Mississippi!”

That’s is an excellent summary.

I suspect most of what he does ends with with the phrase “in a vain attempt to not look like an incompetent asshole”.

I doubt I look at the time on my phone more than a couple of times per week. I have wall clocks all over the house and a watch on my wrist. Almost all of them, including my watch, automatically correct themselves using the WWV time signal from the National Bureau of Standards.

I don’t have anything against using my phone, but it’s easier to glance at the wall or my wrist than to get out my phone when I want to know the time.

I can’t say I’m shocked that this could have happened, but I am appalled. How does a court convict a man of multiple crimes without any evidence whatsoever? The username may have started that mess, but it should never have made it past the initial investigation into the man who was convicted.

{sniff} That was beautiful.

We have a national emergency. And congress failed to deal with it twice, during Trump’s first term. Sadly, I don’t think that’s the emergency he’s going to claim.

Protestants don’t call it mass.

It is really encouraging that the networks are beginning to admit what everyone has known for ten years. Trump is incapable of telling the truth about anything. When he says he wants to address the nation about something, it just means that his usual methods, mostly short incoherent posts on social media, aren’t getting his lies out as effectively as he had hoped. No one benefits from listening to him.

It’s always fun to see bad people do the right thing for the wrong reason.
