Maybe he'll take the rest of the gang with him

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

"I'm going to be singing Dreams and Rhiannon when I'm 75 - and that's just fine with me. I just hope my chiffon doesn't get tangled in my rocking chair." - Stevie Nicks The legendary Stephanie Lynn Nicks, singer-songwriter, solo artist & member of Fleetwood Mac, was born on this day, 1948.

NPR out here rewriting history to curry favor with the Orange Felon and his minions. Some of us were full-fleged adults on 9/11 and remember the fuckery about DHS and the Patriot Act.

Ok mayhap I made that myself but you should still buy my book!!!!! trek.epicrandomness.com

Video on the medevac plane crash into Capitan peak last Thursday. Juan Browne / Blancolirio is pretty well-regarded by most general aviation folks. GPS jamming by the military is discussed, and may be an issue in this wreck. youtu.be/9LUnKCOp8WM?...

Carl would be so disappointed in us right now. So would Terry. And George? We'd never hear the end of it -- rightfully so. I apologize to my Pantheon. I hate it here.

I did not come onto this Internet tonight to be called out publicly like this, damn it.

Best post of the day here. 😍

What?! Holy Shit.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Carl warned us

So this is where I'm at, emotionally: I've got cheap access to HBO max and Netflix thru Verizon. I've got Prime video. I've got SiriusXM. Literally cannot watch or listen to *a damn thing* on any of them. Everything is just too goddamn overwhelming. I'm so tired.

😂 the Godzilla music added for this marine 🦎. Love it.

Jesus this is an on-point statue right about now www.bbc.com/news/article...

This planet really needs to deprecate all male leadership immediately and install the updated version composed only of Eldest Daughters -- and particularly if they are Black or Brown. Believe me: Shit would Get. Done. Handled.

“The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

This is fascism. Plain and simple. We need to know every agent’s name who was involved. If you have any information, my Signal is in my profile.

To be clear about what just happened: The Trump administration sent armed FBI agents to abduct a 78-year-old doctor and former federal public health worker from his home and stripped him because the brainwashed right-wing base, hopped up on a literal conspiracy theory, wants scalps.

Anyone who wants to ban or limit the purchase of ultra-processed foods has to also be working to make healthy food available to the poor, and including to people without access to kitchens, specific cooking implements, refrigeration, etc. And those whose disabilities prevent them from cooking.

And I love this for them. Love it.

Finally! 🎉🎉 And spotting all the ABQ downtown buildings in the background amused me greatly, too.

IF YOU’RE IN LINE TO GET CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, STAY IN LINE

So what's going on with this app today?

“We're staring into the darkness, and on the other side of the void is a nuclear arsenal and a 79-year-old lunatic who has never made a wise decision in his life.” An accurate summation of the current moment. 💀

I mean, when *The Onion* congratulates you on your headline....

A retired journo I know SMS'd me before and reckoned the first thing that should be grounded are the private planes of the rich and famous. "They can catch an interstate train/plane like the rest of us. That fuel is now needed for the whole of society, not rich pricks' private jets," he said.

YOU GET ON THE BUS THAT IS GOING CLOSEST TO YOUR DESTINATION!!!

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

It seems America has run on the honor system for 250 years. Then we ran out of honor. A madman is in charge and he’s surrounded by cowards. Now we find that impeachment is meaningless. The 25th amendment is meaningless. The Bill of Rights is meaningless. And the Constitution is meaningless.

Isn't this your buddy, @heinrich.senate.gov ? And isn't ABQ a sanctuary city? Having any second thoughts yet about voting to confirm his racist ass, pendejo?

A classic. A legend.

You cannot claim aspects of the social contract that you refused to adhere to for others.

That's quite the sign:

Fellow BUSTER KEATON fans will enjoy Jim Jarmusch telling the story of how if it hadn’t been for JAMES MASON buying Keaton’s old house in Los Angeles in the 1980’s almost every film Buster made would’ve been lost to us forever. Incredible stuff.

Remember the full-scale freakout in the press when they found out that a Parkinson's doctor made a visit to the Biden White House? Can we have that same level of panic about the president's minions having to fake a sizzle reel of war footage to keep the demented, decomposing husk of Trump engaged?

Conrad may have been the looks and muscle, but Martin was the brains and heart of The Wild, Wild West. I still love this silly, wildly implausible steampunk western show.

Well. This explains a LOT, at least to me. Our armed forces and government think this is all just some sick videogame? It honestly wouldn't surprise me. Not a bit.

Oh, good fucking gods. Heinrich?! I regret ever voting for that sorry-ass useless traitor. His staff won't be happy to hear from a lot of us tomorrow. I hope.

That post earlier today the Orange Menace today in which he labels Democrats "the only enemy left to fight," come to anyone else's mind rn? That ICE is buying warehouses across the country bother anyone else? Pattern-matching like fuck to 1940s Germany, does anyone else see that?

"They Live" stopped being so funny, "Starship Troopers" stopped being so funny. Please, lets stop before we arrive to the "Dr. Strangelove" stage.

Saw an old interview with Frank Herbert who said “I don’t think that the old saw about power corrupting and absolute power corrupting absolutely is accurate. I think power attracts the corruptible” and, yeah, that.
