James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

So back in 1944, a German U-Boat Commander named Heinz-Wilhelm Eck did exactly what US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered US military forces to do - kill the survivors of a destroyed boat at sea. Now, as then, this is considered a War Crime. In 1945, Commander Eck was tried, found guilty […]

I can only remember four concerts I've seen. The Pretenders at the SF Civic. Joe Jackson, Big World tour, at the Greek. Shonen Knife, I think at the DNA? Opener was 10 Bass T. Leon Redbone at a little bar in Cambridge Mass. The opener was some guy named Tom Waits

@jwz Have you heard of The Mismiths? You must have. Article in this week's Express. I understood about 1/10th of it. https://eastbayexpress.com/the-mismiths-make-merry/

Pie chart of pie we ate vs. pie we didn't eat.

It happened! The @nytimes.com profiled Paulina! The Writer Who Dared Criticize Silicon Valley Paulina Borsook’s “Cyberselfish,” which offered dire predictions about the tech world’s love for libertarianism, is finding fans. It only took 25 years. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/t...

This was all so so good. And there was also turkey! And soon, pie!

The turkey is cake.

Getting National Guard troops shot was the entire point of sending them into cities. I'm sure Trump is surprised it took this long to get him his casus belli. Now phase two can finally start.

Peeling chestnuts.

Thinking about naming the turkey before putting it in the oven. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl though. Maybe Donald or Elon for a boy and, I dunno, Kristi for a girl?

Mushroom time!

#blankfriday is coming up the day after Thanksgiving. If you need to prep, for instance by getting a pocket full of cash, today is the day. And it's ok to use transit cards if you bought them with cash.

Since 1941, USA Thanksgiving has been celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. This means that the latest date it can show up is the 28th. This year it's on the 27th, the second latest possible date. The next year where it will be on the 28th is 2030.

All this to say that Elon is a white supremacist mass murderer and DOGE was not a failure. It functioned as designed. I wish people would cover this accurately. It's not difficult.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

If you could have a Scrooge McDuck money swimming pool except filled with something other than money, what would it be filled with?

Good night.

Highlighting added, for those who have trouble understanding this extremely simple concept.

Surely, I am not the only one confused. Is the appeasement plan, the so-called “peace plan,” the official position of the Trump regime or not? Rubio tells Republican Senators one thing, his spokesman tells the public another […]

My cat Rainbow likes to sit in this basket in my bathroom. My daughter painted a portrait of Rainbow in the basket. I hung it in the bathroom, naturally. Then I got a photo of Rainbow sitting in the basket underneath the painting.

There’s a lot of political commentary about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, but one important point is this: she entered Congress in 2021 with an estimated net worth of about $700,000, and is leaving in 2025 with a net worth of roughly $25 million.

The Trump regime wants to start making a list of Jews (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/us/eeoc-university-pennsylvania-antisemitism-jewish.html). Now where have I heard that one before?

@rollovereasy Hey have you seen all the new Big Art along the Embarcadero? That would be a good sunny day walk show. https://www.bigartloop.org/

@rollovereasy Speaking of hot dogs, Oakland's long-shuttered Kasper's building at Telegraph and 45th is about to re-open as the second location of Winky Dinky. Their menu looks good but doesn't include prices so I don't know if they are also $$$. https://winkydinkydogs.com/
