No Kings Seattle

Don Quixote battling windmills was farce. Don Trump doing the same is senility.

Defend with what, bare hands?

Let me put it this way: If anti-gay bakers are entitled to refuse to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, a gay chef can be justified in refusing to sell his pierogi to someone who appears to support this homophobic agenda while defending the likes of T and Ep. www.latimes.com/food/story/2...

What a joy to watch! We need it! www.nbcsports.com/olympics/new...

It was great to participate in Seattle. Protests and townhalls are also invaluable in keeping us all afloat and (more or less) sane. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

More of this, America.

I am a football fan who was looking forward to watching the SB. But now, between T. being in the audience and NFL asking teams to delete their Bluesky accounts, I may find it too shameful to be a part of it. www.msn.com/en-us/sports...

It’s kinda like when (at least in the “Apprentice” but most likely in real life too) Trump gave the unsuspecting Roy Cohn knock-off "Tiffany" cufflinks with fake diamonds, which brought the dying man to grateful tears www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Just watched "Conclave" a couple of nights ago. Will there be black and white smokes? :) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

In all fairness, I detest her as much as most people here, but the day of the funeral was also a one-year anniversary of her mother's death (Amalija Knavs, July 9, 1945 – January 9, 2024) and I do believe she is genuinely mourning here. She was very close to her.

WP: "Trump sentenced without penalty in hush money case, formalizing his status as felon." Sadly, NORMALIZING his status as felon feels more accurate here

A handsome assassin, killing to punish greed -- straight out of Crime and Punishment. Roughly the same age too.

Maybe he should ask Musk to pay his bills. I am sure Musk, altruistic as he is, would jump at the opportunity. In return, G. can give him a couple of hair dye bottles. I believe they use the same color. news.yahoo.com/news/cant-pa...

Is it time to start boycotting Comcast and NBC to make it somewhat possible for Comcast to change its plans? www.mediaite.com/media/elon-m...

So, about 0.7 Scaramuccis. (Granted, he hadn’t yet been officially nominated.)

To put it mildly, Dr. Oz is no wizard... www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11...

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...
