Love. As much as you can, as many as you can, as often as you can.

During her swearing-in ceremony, Makenzie Lystrup took the oath on Carl Sagan's 'Pale Blue Dot' instead of the Bible. She has now become the first woman in NASA's history to become the director of Goddard Space Flight Center. #SomeGoodNews

Sorry Nancy Pelosi, you’re wrong

Whatever legacy Dianne Feinstein had is now severely tarnished

From the hug-heard-round-the-world with Lindsey Graham, to her refusal to promote the younger generation and pass the torch

Dianne Feinstein needed to resign …YEARS ago

What’s your take? I would like to hear it.

@mmasnick I’m calling for a total and complete shutdown of tech executives roaming free in San Francisco until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

@mmasnick I think we all know the correct policy here is an aggressive police response to the threat of violent tech crime: they need strict curfews, stop and frisk, and probably a tech focused police task force. This has to be full on broken windows policing. If you see a group of tech execs congregating anywhere they could potentially commit a crime—street corners, bars, convention centers, conference rooms—then you need to call the cops to come and break that up. We need to take this seriously, lest our cities be taken over by a wave of tech on tech crime.

@mmasnick so I guess the problem is that the city is not jailing enough tech execs

LEAKER PLUGGED

Pentagon leaks: US air national guardsman, 21, identified as suspect

Jack Teixeira led Thug Shaker Central online group and is facing arrest in Massachusetts, say reports

Bonus info: Jack lives (or lived) in Hebron, CT and I assume comes from a wealthy family. He's a good golfer, having won a tournament at age 18.

He echoes Donald Trump in that he hates big government and law enforcement agencies.

@rbreich they watch Fox and enjoy being lied to because they hear what they want to hear. They do not want to be intellectually challenged

Alas, no. Fox News viewers aren't victims, they are co conspirators.

Some popcorn-requiring good news...

Excellent timing that a 21 year-old cis, straight white guy Air National Guardsman who makes videos of himself shooting guns while shouting racist and antisemitic epithets is behind the massive intel documents leak on Discord while Republicans claim, without evidence, that trans folks are bad for military readiness.

In Texas, Daniel Perry—a white man—posted "he might kill a few people," drove his car past a red light & into a previously peaceful BLM march, shot & killed a protestor (a US Vet), was duly charged, unanimously convicted—& TX Gov Abbott is pardoning him.😳

Texas is announcing to the world that in their view, murdering people for exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protesting racism is OK.

This isn't democracy. It's fascism. This sets a literally deadly precedent for the future.
