People who have studied the downfall of democracy in other countries recognize exactly what is happening in the U.S. The parallels are unmistakeable; the only difference is the speed - we are going *faster*. apnews.com/article/trum...

Cemetery Part 2:

Trip to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery this morning.

Delighted to see Pulp for the first time in 29 years. They were marvelous! This one was a crowd pleaser, of course: youtu.be/b8tmX3UWFJM?...

Yes, this really concerns me. Election outcomes are determined by a range of voter objectives, not just "is this candidate guilty of something?" Candidates are not above the law.

Corrupt to the core

RIP to America's Alain Delon.

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

Well, I hope the AI "people" have a good time listening to these podcasts.

Literally every time a new Epstein thing drops there’s a brief “but you dipshits can’t handle Bill Clinton being involved!!” outcry followed by the biggest collective shrug imaginable. The same memes over and over.

I have now lived a long and full life, with a Republican Treasury Secretary saying that adding a national sales tax -- imposed on an odd assortment of goods -- *raises* economic growth. Can't wait to raise other taxes to raise growth further. Or to double tariffs so we can double growth.

it should be at least 400 times harder to get a driver's license

What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?

There is no end to the angles these guys play.

By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority. The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:

Clown show

it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

"Reducing our dependence on whales as an energy source will send us sliding down the slippery, spermaceti-lubricated slope to socialism. If we give up whaling, what will those lackwits come for next? Will I have to surrender my peg leg for a titanium prosthetic?"

True

Nope
