My take on the Fauci investigation is RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

I decide to wash their comfy beds today. Here they are, letting me know in the clearest terms that a towel is not an acceptable substitute.

Can someone tell every pop singer that coloratura is a vocal device best used sparingly, like salt in a dish, to add spice and flavor. When you use it on every phrase, it sounds like you have stomach cramps. This has been a PSA from the National Get Off My Lawn Society.

Aside from everything else, this regime has ruined political thrillers for me. How can I immerse myself in the fictional world of devious political masterminds, when I can see their real-life counterparts are a collection of bumbling incompetents committing obvious crimes right out in the open?

How long before there's an Executive Order declaring Belgium the 51st State, so he can say we won?

@philmoorhouse.bsky.social Have you received the warning from YouTube about the UK gov't plan to "prioritize" mainstream media on YT? Together with their privacy-destroying "age assurance" shenanigans, there seems to be a decidedly authoritarian nip in the air.

Alito gave quite the performance of petulance during Sotomayor's reading of her dissent today. The fascists are so confident of their ascendency that they're openly showing their annoyance that dissenters haven't been marched off to camps yet.

That there's a show called "America's Dumbest Celebrity" and it doesn't immediately focus on the occupant of the White House is everything wrong with the media.

If you want to know why turning Google search into an "AI assistant" is dangerous, look no further than this little gem that popped up unbidden on my phone just now.

PSA: when you renew your US Passport online, you'll get a confirmation email, that happens to casually mention that your current passport is no good anymore. So you're trapped here while they decide if they want to let you leave or not. Land of the free.

Kevin Warsh starts his tenure with his credibility in tatters. He's proven himself to be Donald Trump's sock puppet. And he refuses to answer who cut him a $100 million check for his secret investments – and what they may want from him as the new Fed Chair.

Yep he said it..

How's the Nuremburg Rally going today? Can't bear to watch Hypocrites on Parade.

Saw huge turnout for this VRA rally in Selma yesterday but wanted to show it again for solidarity with people in other states that couldn’t join in. “Every blow against justice has historically awakened a sleeping giant,” said Rev. Bernice King. “This moment is our generation’s proving ground.”

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Just went down a rabbit hole of YouTube investing channels. The content is bad enough, but far worse are the endless comments eagerly anticipating Jerome Powell's departure, so the "Trump Economy" can be "unleashed." There lives MAGA in its most idiotic form.

Above all else, the rich crave exclusivity. They resent sharing the planet with the rest of us. Inflation makes even everyday things more exclusive, as fewer people can afford them. Higher fuel prices, for example, means fewer cars on the road to get in the way of the oligarchs limos.

We'll know we've taxed the billionaires enough when they start leaving. Its a risk I'm willing to take.

If our system of government can be so easily co-opted by a ragtag gang of brazen goofballs, the framers of the Constitution may not have been as prescient as they're portrayed. "It's a republic, if you can resist the temptation to hand it over to an orange moron."

Let me get this right. They don't care if kids die of preventable diseases. They don't care if kids are murdered in school. They don't care if kids are bombed or starved to death. But they need us all to show ID online, "to protect the children." Y'know, I dont think they're telling the truth.

Trump is such a narcissist that, if he thinks he's going down, he'll try to launch the nukes and take us all with him. I used to think the chain of command would stop him. Now, I hear that commanders are telling troops that Trump is the messenger of God and will usher in Armageddon. So, yeah...

So Trump may threaten to ban Visa and Master Card in the UK (and potentially the EU), as the next stage in his bid to annex Greenland. The two cards account for 95% of purchases. youtu.be/R0u7f9vxbUE?...

Honestly curious how Trump's lackeys thought shredding the Epstein files would be worse than what's happening now. They could always have blamed it on some "staffer." Or was Trump so attached to his blackmail material that he wouldn't let them do it?

When Epstein died, is it likely that no new entrepreneur stepped in, to satisfy the continuing demand of rich pedophiles? I think not. Another reason why these bastards need to be prosecuted: this isn't just something that happened in the past.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that a justice system that depends for its ability to function on the party in power is fatally flawed. An independent judiciary can't depend on political patronage, or it's just...well, exactly what it is now.

America has supported regimes that murder their citizens in the streets for decades. Why should it be any different at home?

WW1 was characterized as "lions led by donkeys." I can't imagine why this particular factoid bubbled up in my mind today...
