Trump is guilty and should be punished in some way

The election doesn’t change that. I don’t think sending him to jail is plausible but he should be held accountable in some way.

Fines are worthless with Trump. They haven’t stopped his bad behavior before.

BREAKING:Judge Merchan has ruled that Trump’s claim of presidential immunity to dismiss his indictment and to vacate the jury’s verdict is DENIED and he must appear on Jan. 10th for sentencing.However, Merchan is NOT inclined to sentence Trump to incarceration.www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFs/p…

He should sentence Trump to public service like picking up trash or serving meals. Fines and monetary settlements have not improved Trump’s behavior. Trump may belong in jail but it’s not realistic to expect that.

I’m just teasing on this one but they could lock Trump in a room with Biden’s dogs that bit people.

Ched-Z, the Cheez-it mascot

Ched-Z even officiated a wedding!

@hollyanderson.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi @celebrityhottub.bsky.social Last year at the Citrus Bowl, they actually did have a Pop-Tarts style mascot named Ched-Z, who was not edible (sadly). They also auctioned off a Cheez-it branded hot tub

Can a marriage even be legal if officiated by a Cheez It?

25 years since Y2K

Y2K turned out to be nothing because of the hard work of many people. I worked at a government agency. Our agency spent years planning for it and everything went smoothly.

Sigh. It wasn’t a nonevent BUT we took it seriously. It was a nonevent BECAUSE we took it seriously. Same dangerous attitude I’ve seen about ozone layer deterioration: if a major campaign of concerted action averted the problem, it must have been a fake problem. Not the correct lesson to draw!

Wow it’s the 25th anniversary of Y2K where nothing happened because a bunch of us did a metric fuck-ton of work in ‘99 testing and upgrading IT infrastructure systems. Wildest thing I worked on replacing was a CP/M system in a critical role – it booted from 8” floppies, and a VAX with a 9 Track tape

Trump lies about the New Orleans killer

The guy was an American, not an immigrant. Trump’s lie will stir up anti-immigrant sentiment and I don’t expect him to correct it.

Great column by @nberlat.bsky.social:"The ugly truth is that Trump and MAGA wanted the attacker to be an immigrant, and now that they know he isn’t, they’re shameless enough to just to forge ahead with pretending that he is."www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-new-…

"First, he flunked a test of accuracy, pushing misinformation within hours of a deadly attack. Second, he flunked a test of decency, trying to exploit the attack to advance an ugly and misguided agenda. And third, Trump flunked a test of credibility."

Donald Trump is actively using what happens in New Orleans to promote a fake anti-immigration agenda. It's shameful.

Alternative headline for your consideration, NYT:Trump dishonestly uses New Orleans attack to demonize immigrants

— Mark Jacob (@markjacob.bsky.social) 2025-01-01T23:05:38.193Z

Minutes after Fox falsely reported the New Orleans truck attack suspect had just crossed the border, Trump claimed that he was an immigrant. The Fox-Trump feedback loop is back. http://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/new…

This isn’t rocket science. He lied. He pushed erroneous garbage without knowing facts, knowing full well his base will never pay attention to the clarification.

Baltimore Ravens have 10 touchdown drives of 90 or more yards in the 2024 season

I wrote the BlueSky post before I saw the Ravens’ post

Question on the Ravens:They had a 97 yard TD drive vs Giants They had a 96 yard TD drive vs SteelersThey had a 99 yard TD drive vs Texans Has any team had 96 yard or longer TD drives 3 weeks in a row before?

— Harris Levy (@harrislevy.bsky.social) 2024-12-26T22:30:34.953Z

Wow I do not know and I’m not sure where to get data to find out! Good question.

Note: They had a 90-yard and 95-yard TD drive in the 1/11/25 Wild Card game.

Americans support solar energy

Trump opposes solar energy but the public supports it.

87% of Americans support federal incentives to deploy solar and energy storage, including 78% of 2020 Trump votersWould love to see this updated for 2024 Trump voters.seia.org/news/new-pol…

Americans are loud and clear on clean energy – 7 of 10 want wind, solar and more renewable alternatives to replace fossil fuels, latest Pew Research Center poll shows. Same majority back President Biden’s goals to be carbon neutral by 2050….

“Right here in Arizona, $2 billion of investments, components made in America, competitive carbon-free electricity & significant job creation. It’s a great story!”Trump promised to kill the IRA & in turn Arizona’s solar boom & killing 1000’s of jobs.#Voices4Victory azmirror.com/2024/12/10/s…

Trump will have to let the sun shine!Solar for All is likely protected from Trump’s roll back of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The program is set to install solar panels to power nearly a million low-income households over the next five years. floodlightnews.org/solar-for-al…
