Do people realize that political appointees overseeing the fine details of the entire U.S. research budget mean that the money is gone? Because that's the point of putting Trump political appointees in, to launder public money into private jets and fancy houses.

Hey, look! Something is actually being *added* to the HBO Max library. And it's Mad Men finally in 4K!

If Clara Jeffrey ever co-signed a post of mine, I would delete and retract lol. Like you know you fucked up when...

The low levels of thought, writing, and grammar, and the high levels of countenancing or even reveling in evil found in the emails of the Epstein coterie makes me think that however bad we imagine the tech dudes’ brain-cooking group text chain to be, it’s surely so much worse.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Finished THE LOWDOWN this evening. What a rich, wide show, maybe the best mystery series I've seen in years, with a deep sense of place and character -- and perfectly cast, right down to the cameos. Once you've seen the whole thing, read this lovely @avclub.com interview with Sterlin Harjo.

literally every failing automaker tries this, and it never works
