People make projects for joy. And then others start depending on those projects. You wind up being buried in work and the project no longer generates joy for you. Instead it generates exhaustion, and eventually burnout. We need a better way to handle this. @skriptble.me #opensource #software

They told us they cheat. We are just too arrogant to listen. If you ever want to hear the truth, talk to a drunk or a kid. Elon’s kid said ‘no one will ever know’ after Tucker asked him how he knew the results earlier than anybody else.

Healthcare is expensive. But lowering costs is not about cutting access. It is about making sure people understand their insurance, use preventive care, and can access primary care before small issues become major crises. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8

Hegseth read a passage from the book of Ezekiel 25:17 but it was really from Pulp Fiction. When Trump read his Old Testament passage today I hoped it'd be from The Book of Armaments. Chapter 2 verses 9-21. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social @gottalaff.bsky.social @thefarce.org @salgentile.bsky.social

Chilling details emerged today about the Canadian government’s inaction as Israel kidnapped and abused Canadians bringing aid to Gaza. Israel shot at them, beat them, stabbed them, and left them for dead. One activist called the Canadian consulate between Israel's attacks -- but no help came:

Of course, Trump won't give up on his $1.8bn fund for Jan 6 rioters (ultimately, we suspect, for himself). He's never accepted a no, certainly no democratic decision (Jan 6 alone is evidence enough). He'll rename it & try again, with less publicity, more lying, better arm-twisting. Jon Karl for ABC:

Not only does Trump want a slush fund for insurrectionists and cronies, he’s also giving himself a get-out-of-jail-free card for his rampant tax cheating. Sen. @markwarner.bsky.social is right—both need to end.

Apparently, the people of Albania don't want Jared and Ivanka's new Epstein Island.
