Sometimes, the cats are in prison for cat crimes. But on their side of the fence there is a cat, and on our side, there is none. Who is truly imprisoned, and who is the jailer?

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Since people got fired for quoting Charlie Kirk's exact words, I think we should all start quoting some of Rob Reiner's exact words:

You're in a car accident. So you call all the ERs from the ambulance and see who's offering a special. Hell, maybe you can ask hospital B to beat hospital A's price. It'll be like car dealerships. "How much can you spend a month, Randi?" "What will it take to get you into this ER today?"

Elon and his crew destroyed hundreds of veteran owned businesses. Two-thirds of the contracts DOGE canceled at the VA this year were with veteran-owned businesses. Some contracts were helping the VA register cancer patients or provide health care support to vets. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

CBP *still* claims that it has no deal with Meta and that these are personal glasses owned by the agents. If they're personal glasses, though, then it is illegal for the agent to record

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X. Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.
