Still amazes me that every time Facebook rolls out its latest turd of a product, Zuckerberg announces it personally. "When people see me in these glasses, they'll totally want to buy them, because I'm so cool and universally beloved!" No one in his employ will tell him the truth.

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like âthese are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, thatâs good journalism.â Did they go so far as to say âwe should help the Trump administration sell this actionâ? Or do they just sorta do it?

There should be zero tolerance for law enforcement officers lying. You lie: you lose your job. Because allowing mendacity means the "law" doesn't mean anything but the brute force of oft-corrupt law enforcement officers.

Iâm not sure that the Democratâs âComms and Strategyâ class in DC have really thought through what it says about them and their leaders if Zohran wipes this election without an ounce of their help. They seem to think being quiet is smart now, but wouldnât it just illustrate how useless they are?

Iâll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

They know their customers don't have a choice. People can't easily stop using Apple products. Or Microsoft Office. Or Amazon. We live in an oligopoly. Eventually, all these gigantic companies need to be broken up. Their concentration of so much power is literally a threat to the Republic.

Cuomo was honestly rattled when Mamdani told him that Charlotte Bennett was in the room tonight, and asked him to defend his horrific treatment of her and the other dozen women he sexually harassed. His body language told the whole story. An abuser, a bully, and coward.

In light of the Maine vetting fiasco, one pro tip I'll once again share for anyone considering a run for office: Start at the bottom. Homeowners Association. School Board. City Council. Make your mistakes *there.* Learn politics *there.* So when you run for the U.S. Senate, there are no surprises.

I think the destruction of the White House East Wing resonates because it is so viscerally permanent. But the ongoing destruction of Constitutional order and international law is no less permanent. There is no repair. We must build anew.

Re: Cuomo's reply, does "serious and mature" mean you have to accept being sexual harassed or you have to commit sexual harassment? Cuomo is such a POS. I can't believe anyone is supporting him for any reason at all.

I remember going to San Francisco for the first time during my MFA days in Spokane back in the early 90s. Stayed in very cheap hotel in Chinatown (with a dirty magazine in the bedside drawer instead of a Gideon bible) just so I could visit City Lights on a daily basis. Those were good times.
