I only got the 4-pack set that was issued a week or so ago. But I certainly understand this sentiment.

#MikeHuckabee, the US ambassador to #Israel is shocked, *shocked*, that there are violent settlers on the #WestBank trying to steal Palestinian property, and he wants that to Stop. Right. Now.

Well, mostly he's shocked regarding property there belonging to #PalestinianAmericans. 'Cause, y'know, *that's* the only worrisome aspect of it. He's fine with Israeli settlements all over the West Bank, just not if they take from folk with American connections.

#Texas Governor #GregAbbott had decided that washing stations at Texas airports used by #Muslims before prayer are religious #discrimination against good ol' Christian boys like him because, well, *he* doesn't use them.

Also because he's an #Islamophobe and thinks it plays well with his #Republican base, which it probably does.

The funny/tragic part of this is that #Trump has blown any credit to his accusations, even if in this instance they were true. Except among his fanatical followers, who would believe him if he claimed it was commie space aliens responsible.

And in other not-at-all-a-surprise news, #DonaldTrump is a nasty, vindictive #bully who is always happy to use the power of the #federalgovernment as a #weapon against anyone he wants to punish (or a boon for anyone he wants to reward).

In this case: organized, coordinated action against #Colorado for having the temerity to keep imprisoned a Trumpist who broke a state #electionsecurity laws after 2020. (Our governor eventually caved on the matter.)

One of the things #AI is actually fantastic at is detecting, modeling, and intensifying human biases in its source materials.

So, not only are #AI companies rampantly stealing IP, they are apparently bulk purchasing physical books , including rare volumes, and "destructively" scanning them, with a notional goal of eliminating all the books in the world in favor of Ai spitting out #slop on command.

You know Donald's thrashing a bit when he plays the populist card against oil companies. Though I'm sure he'll forgive them if they just give *him* the money. On behalf of the public, of course.

The New York Times: #Blanche Gives G.O.P. Senators Written Assurances on Trump’s I.R.S. Deal
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/us/politics/todd-blanche-trump-irs-fund-order.html

Even without impuning Blanche's character, his making any promises about something #Trump decides he wants is meaningless. Trump has made it clear that the AG works for him, and is expected to follow any commands given by the POTUS. Blanche can't give reliable assurances about anything.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
