@futurebird Trying to make sense of Trump's meandering monologues is like opening a bag of salad greens trying to deduce from the mix what day of the week they were picked.

@futurebird Yes, we are all symbiotes. In 10% Human, author Alanna Collen discusses all the various types of microbes we co-exist with and where they reside. Fascinating stuff. Rather than a single microbiome, we have many, some very specific (like our navels) with unique bacteria populations.

@futurebird I recently started playing a sim called Per Aspera, about terraforming Mars. It uses small bots to do all the work. It reminded me a lot of the classic game SimAnt, but much more advanced. Basically, the bots build the nest, collect resources, and maintain the colony like in an ant colony. Rather entertaining.

@futurebird @peterbrown Many years ago, we dug up all the grass on our property and replaced it with perennial plants like hostas, astilbes, anemones, hydrangeas, ornamental grasses, etc. Even have some northern cacti that blossom every summer.

My English father must have felt like this in January, 1933, watching the news that Hitler had been made chancellor in Germany. Who would have thought that fascism would rise like this again, and in the country that helped defeat it?

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power (from Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social)

https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-promises-genocide-legacy-mediaTrump Promises Genocide — Legacy Media Is Helping HimThe Wall Street Journal Advocates for GenocideJust today, the Wall Street Journal ran an article attempting to normalize forced population transfers by citing historical precedents. This is unhinged, sociopathic propaganda designed to rewrite history and justify ethnic cleansing. The WSJ wants its readers to believe that forced displacement is merely a logistical challenge—not a crime against humanity.

https://theracket.news/p/seeds-of-mistrust-usaid-musk-trumpBy “transparency” they seem to mean spreading easily debunked claims — such as Musk’s now-admitted lie about millions supposedly spent on “condoms in Gaza” — and spinning evidence that government agencies subscribe to news databases as proof of a nefarious plot. The point is to create a spectacle—an illusion of transparency, without actual transparency—to distract from what they are doing now and to justify what comes next.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dHNHL8adrcAs fascist dictator Donald Trump retreats from his tariffs on China in the trade war he started, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Trump, the “most corrupt president,” has been telling Americans to pay higher prices because of his tariffs while he wants to accept from a foreign country “the most expensive private plane in the world.”

https://www.propublica.org/article/bukele-trump-el-salvador-ms13-gang-vulcan-corruption-investigationA long-running U.S. investigation of MS-13 has uncovered evidence at odds with Bukele’s reputation as a crime fighter. The inquiry, which began as an effort to dismantle the gang’s leadership, expanded to focus on whether the Bukele government cut a secret deal with MS-13 in the early years of his presidency.

A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons.My respect for Carney has plummeted with this gesture to an American hatemonger. #cdnpoli

https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/yes-we-all-know-hes-fucking-nutsEscalatorGate™ is now in its third day and shows no sign of abating — and in typical Donny carnival-barker style, the story of how an escalator briefly turned into stairs gets more outlandish with each retelling.

@futurebird I was bemused that they were gambling with a human's life. And then all of Job's family is slaughtered... and some Stepford-like family is created for him at the end...
