READ THAT LAST SENTENCE. No more status quo.

Becerra literally said, “yeah, I take Chevron money. We need Chevron. Chevron are the good guys.” That’s just patently insane. WE do not need Chevron. HE needs Chevron’s money. And that is moving the absolute opposite direction of where CA needs to go. Need Chevron now, serve Chevron later

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

We are not the same! #SheShed

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

👏 Pennsylvania Representative Russ Diamond’s bill to ditch Daylight Saving Time was heard in committee last week. 👉 Tell your PA state reps to sponsor HB 119!

And that's just based on the unredacted documents they've released. There are probably even more.

Watching "Ghostbusters" and it still amazes me that it took years for me to realise the joke of Louis Tully - the Keymaster - repeatedly getting locked out of his apartment.

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

If you ever doubt one person can make a difference, just remember how Donald Trump has fucked everything up in record time.

“..as you would expect from a tight silo like Substack, the API lets you read but not write. They want you to use their editor, what they don’t want is to be one of 20 distributors of your writing. They want an exclusive and they get it.“ scripting.com

Groceries, gas, medication, or Trump? Pick one to get rid of.

You wanna know something really wild? E-bikes are already displacing more emissions from autos than electric cars. Wild! Break free from the uncertainty and cost of gas prices - buy an e-bike! www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

A people or a class which is cut off from its own past is far less free to choose and to act as a people or class than one that has been able to situate itself in history. This is why - and this is the only reason why - the entire art of the past has now become a political issue. John Berger.

I hadn't put it together as clearly as this, but, when writing about last night's ballroom filing, I had noted that it "detailed the weekend’s shooting in terms that will undoubtedly be used by the suspect’s defense lawyers in the coming weeks and months." www.lawdork.com/p/doj-ballro...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Tomorrow is Independent Bookstore Day. I would love to give you a personalized rec if you tell me what kind of book you’re looking for and promise to buy from your favorite indie or Bookshop.org.

It will never not be enraging that when interest rates were close to zero the US government did not invest in infrastructure and green energy bc the GOP was obsessed with austerity.

As an old guitarist, it is important to not use guilt or shame to get yourself to play guitar. This backfires. You have to enjoy it. Just fuck around on it. Serious practice should happen occasionally but most of the time when you pick up the guitar it should make you happy.

You guys, we have Rick Moranis out there doing press for a new film. What a beautiful thing. Do we deserve that, as a society? Probably not, so let’s not take it for granted.

This Ars Poetica addresses a great poetic conundrum – when is a poem finished? Paul Valéry suggests ‘Poems aren’t finished, they are abandoned’. The full quote (in the comments) is much more interesting Sometimes editing can be unnecessarily reductive #Poetry #Poemoftheday #Nationalpoetrymonth

Schiff: What more will happen? You know, really, the sky’s the limit. We have to anticipate they could create some provocation at a polling place to create a pretext to call on the military or to seize ballot boxes. And we’re going to be prepared for whatever they throw our way…

On January 6 2021 a violent mob of people, motivated and directed by the then sitting president, attempted to prevent our elected representatives from carrying out their constitutional duty to certify a democratically conducted election. In other words they attempted an insurrection - treason. >>>>

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

I will be really, REALLY happy when John Fetterman leaves the Senate.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.
