I don’t think most Americans necessarily want a right wing authoritarian dictatorship—although maybe 20% or so do—but I do think the rest who voted for him either think it’s going to roll over on someone else and not them, or that they think he’s joking and it’s not going to actually happen.

I don’t see how Tulsi does not give the Kremlin back door access to literally everything we have, including write privileges so they can go in and alter documents to throw people like you off your game.

It's his entire MO.

Doesn't hurt him, he's a white cisgender man of great means.

Nice P.R. piece.

Welcome to my nightmare.

Provided the 2026 elections are free and fair. You can ask Edman about that.

Yeah, that's kind of how it looks to me. The account is following me and there's not any connection that I can see to me or anyone here.

Yes, but the main trick is determining whether the replacement at hand is better than the resource you have in house. If so, the next trick is to not overpay in years and risk checkmating yourself if it's not working out.

I only vaguely remember this, but had Monaghan successfully moved the team out of town, I'm not so sure Detroit would have gotten a replacement team anytime soon after, despite the market size. We might still be without a team today had that happened. After all, there's another top ten market, bigger than Detroit, that went without a team for over three decades.

That's fine, as not only would this or a new owner benefits with billions from the move, but it would re-open up the #11 market in the country as the prime foil in the Build-Me-A-New-Stadium-Or-I'm-Moving-The-Team gambit.

That didn't fly over your head! 😉😝

Time for Tork, or time for the Tigers?

Did you see it? Did you like it?

I guess it's technically a timer, since timers count down and clocks count up. So, timer's ticking. Meaning someone's fi'na get booted.

Does anyone know who or what "Raelene Oullette" is? That's a bluesky account that started following me out of nowhere. A bunch of people here follow it, and it follows over 3,000 accounts, but there is but a single post from it. Can anyone vouch for it?

I tried to do something like that with this thread: But it seems as though this other thread may well get more traction: Either way, I'll go where the people go.

Clock's ticking ...

My main concern about Bluesky is what happens when the Russian operatives, bomb-throwing radical right-wingers and leftists, charlatans, and other unsavory characters come into that environment with the intention of poisoning it and dragging it down to the level of X? Is there any mechanism in place for policing that, or will this become just another poster child for bogus free speech absolutism? If there is no actual governance—if it operates strictly on on-your-honor norms and not actual policies with real consequences—then what’s to stop that from happening? Hopefully there’s some governance in place. Does anyone know?

They will need to develop an iPad version of Bluesky, soon, I hope.

Acting Secretary of HHS.

Acting Secretary of Defense indefinitely. Well, at least he won’t overrule Trump’s desire to send the military into cities to root out disloyal people.

More like Kyle Rittenhouse for Capitol Police Chief.
