I walk my cat in our yard with a harness and a leash. Also, you can usually get past a paywall by copying the link and pasting into "save" at archive.ph. It doesn't work on WSJ but it works on most things I've tried.

I still believe that when Trump Cabinet and senior officials are testifying before committee, every time a Dem begins questioning they should remind the person that they're under oath. Just to be sure, you know. In case they forgot they swore, so help them God.

Meta can pay a half a billion dollar fine out of petty cash, or by firing more content monitors. The lawyers will get $200MM of that, so bonuses look swell this year This is real money in an absolute sense but it doesn't hurt the company. It needs to hurt or it's just the cost of doing business
