Trump: “No other president could do some of this shit I am doing.”

*this is actually very true.

This is, quite simply, not remotely true. One generation ago? In 2002? What about two and three generations ago? Nope. Not remotely true. It doesn't advance discussions of political economy to make absurd claims like this.

feels like we're soon going to be seeing a lot more people who have gone all-in on AI grappling with "you're almost certainly going to end up liable for massive fuck-ups based on your work that incorporated GenAI, not the company who made the GenAI software that you used."

I don’t even know what this thread is about, but this speaks to my soul in this time of “austerity”

It’s very paternalistic in a weird controlling way.

Imagine thinking Burke’s biggest problem with American society today is a decadent treat.

Sometimes I worry about my social skills, and then I read stuff like this and figure I’m doing ok.

“in a situation where a very few people have all the wealth and power and everybody else doesn't have those things, you have a really different control of politics than you do in a place where lots of people solid paychecks.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social 4/4

“…mining, agri-business, real estate…things that the radical right wants to open up that land to, tends to concentrate wealth in a very very small
group of people and leaving the rest of the people who live there to work for those very wealthy people.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social 2/4

Politics Chat, March 6, 2026 YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson

In her March 6 chat, @hcrichardson.bsky.social spoke about how the use of public lands impacts the health of a democracy in a way that aligns with my thinking on current Nova Scotia politics and cuts in rural NS. Relevant conversation is about 90 seconds in. 🧵1/4 www.youtube.com/live/I70KDCb...

I’m not going to look. My banking app reminds me I’m going to starve in retirement too often as it is.

My brilliant plan was to “sleep in” by a half hour this morning to ease the change, but apparently my pets now read clocks.

"...we have grown more aware of early Shelburne’s many connections to systems of slavery in the Atlantic world & dependence on unfree Black labour locally. We feel strongly that this space is the ideal location to both celebrate our heritage and negotiate challenging discussions about our history."

They'll just get them online, their parents medicine cabinet, or friends. They aren't going to stop access, only safe access to hormones. Trans people have been getting access to hormones via nonmedical pathways for over half a century.

The language they use is consistently the language of annihilation, not regime change.

Protecting women in sports somehow constantly ends up at creating barriers for women in sports

The people who created international law weren’t pacifist ninnies. No, they had gone through war and were determined to never go through that again.
