I love the look on Yvonne Craig's face in this episode "Whom Gods Destroy" I know I can look up what is happening, but I just imagine it's something else. As if she is saying "You did WHAT? Are you fking kidding me?" My favorite line in this episode is Steve […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Alan Dershowitz referred to himself as an "evil legal ethics professor" so we can describe him that way without fear of a defamation lawsuit from him. #epstein #dershowitz

What made me laugh about this week's South Park was a reference to old cartoon characters, showing how out of touch the South Park police are, BUT, how well the writers of #southpark know the old people in their audience. #ai #sora2 #peterthiel #JDVance #trump

I heard that #ghislainemaxwell is getting "consgerie" treatment in prison. Does that mean she gets tickets to Hamilton?

Sometimes I watch old clips of 30 Rock to cheer me up. The writers took absurd situations & made them funny. Like this cameo with Al Gore as a handyman replacing energy draining light bulbs. Gore said that helps with climate crisis but we really need to change our laws & policies by collective […]

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

Downtown #oakland on a Saturday night. Paramount Theater.

This is posted by Patton Oswalt and I'm just really sick of the fact that we have to explain this to people on the Right, who will then try to argue that it's necessary & a good thing.

In Trump 1.0 a White House reporter from Huffington Post, S. V. Dale, asked Trump about his lying. Dale: Mr President after 3 & a half years do you regret it all, all the lying you've done to the American people? Trump: All the what? Dale: Everything, all […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

@JPummil It might be fun to think this is real, but The claim that Alan Dershowitz said he would "blow his brains out" on live TV if Zohran Mamdani became NYC mayor appears to be false. Extensive searches of news reports, including those specifically mentioning Dershowitz, Mamdani, Rich Calder […]

Suburban Chicago mayor calls Trump's violent thugs “a bunch of liars" after they "forced this car accident, and then they started literally beating up innocent bystanders.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/02/us/evanston-border-patrol-arrests-investigation

Texas has harnessed its state police force to ICE, meaning Texas state troopers will now engage in racial profiling to stop and sesrch, arrest and detain. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-dps-287g-ice-trump-abbott/ Stay away from Texas.

Some developments in #electionofficer #masking. In 118 voters I have seen 3 masked. But now 3 out of 8 officers are masked! Better than average. One woman had her husband bring her a mask (we are not allowed to leave the site until polls close and we finish our closing). Her husband, however […]

If anyone wants to help me liberate Dick Cheney's grand jury transcript, LMK. [He had a June 2004 interview with Pat Fitz, and then a later August 2004 interview, in Jackson Hole, that was treated as a GJ transcript. The latter is what I want.]

It's almost as if letting the ultra-rich own the entire mainstream press and also all the big social platforms had a downside.

The gaslighter-in-chief denies the obvious truth of grocery inflation with a "it's only beef and we're taking care of that" misdirection. No pushback from CBS "News" journalist.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@QuarkMaker/115486840622786794 You make a good point. One thing we have to bust is the information bubble that a huge percentage of the electorate live in. Does Fox News run clips of Mike Johnson "Not knowing" or "not seeing" news? What they see are clips of Mike […]

I just read the entire transcript of the 60 Minutes interview. OMG Brian Stelter wrote: Only 1/3 of the Trump interview aired on "60 Minutes." CBS has published the transcript of the complete interview. It's BIZARRE, especially the way he talks about CBS paying him and Bari Weiss being in […]

Trump just told 60 Minutes that this kind of atrocity isn’t violent enough for him.

The anti-vaccine movement has the same talking points now as it did in the 1800’s. It’s always been a rejection of science, scientists, and progress, with a soupçon of paranoia. Below is a slide for a talk I’m preparing that illustrates the identical strategies. I have more examples, too.
