I knew there was a reason I saved all my film cameras.

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” Sounds like an open-and-shut case to me.

I’m cancelling Halloween this year. I won’t be opening the door for masked strangers. (To be fair, I haven’t had a trick-or-treater here in over 25 years.)

Gerald Ford, a President for whom no one voted, said "my fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over; our Constitution works" when announcing that Nixon would never face justice. And our current Supreme Court says the President is “immune” from justice. The American Experiment has failed.

While he plundered, far and wide All his starving, children cried And though we, sung his fame We all went hungry, just the same He meant to shine To the end of the line

DEAR NEWSCRITTERS: When they don’t answer the question ask it again. Don’t they teach this stuff in school?

I had assumed this meeting was secret, not broadcast to the entire world. Silly me!

This is how you know there is actually very little public health policy. It’s impossible to keep a community healthy if some are excluded from coverage by law.

App designers, please don’t put delete/trash where the “back” button usually is.

It hardly ever rains here, and there are lots of newcomers who don’t realize what happens when it does. Be careful out there.

Timeline littering

“Portland” sorta rhymes with “Rhineland.” Remember, this guy doesn’t have any original thoughts.

I’ll be honest: I never cared much for Orwell and this real-life adaptation of his work isn’t very enjoyable either.

Whatever eventually sees the light of day will be called a forgery if it’s released via subterfuge and redacted to nothingness if ordered by courts.

I was watching the news when Kirk was shot, and news people were already there. One alleged eyewitness said she saw the shooter say “I’d do it again.” I never heard any more about this “witness.” Has anyone?

This is the study that the Trump administration removed from all government websites this week. It analyzed hundreds of ideologically motivated attacks over the past 35 years and found that the majority of attacks are committed by far-right extremists. web.archive.org/web/20250911...

The lesson here: Permits are useless, don’t bother with any, the First Amendment says nothing about permits and they just serve to identify people as “enemies.”

Trump to low-income seniors: Screw you!

When he says “I’m really good at this stuff,” what is “this stuff?”

timeline intensifier

Guess I’ve gotta bite the bullet and upgrade to Windows 11. Sounds horrible. Better back up first. I have been using Macrium, is that still a thing? I think one has to pay now?

This Rapture talk about the “left behind” invariably reminds me of the Old Woman in Candide.

This almost sounds like some kind of confession, complete with apology to the widow.

When asked what he plans to say to Kirk's family, Trump said "I'm just gonna give em my love." That shouldn’t take very long, I thought.

“Stop the Count”: food-insecurity version. 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

As for myself, I prefer NOT being relevant to people whose favorite book might be “The Camp of the Saints.” I say “might” because many cannot read more than 280 characters.

“You can’t fire me, I quit!” “You can’t quit, you’re fired!”

This, people… cancelling your subscription is peanuts but writing the advertisers is hitting them in the bottom line. Do it.

Another one I thought was a joke, but alas…

I thought this was a joke

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech. Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

In the Phoenix area, some Fry’s (Kroger) pharmacies are offering a $5-20 discount in groceries when you get a flu shot.

In my missives to ABC stations’ advertisers, I always point out that those stations might not even air the programs for which they purchase ads.

Tell ABC’s advertisers what you think AND boycott them: stopmediabiasnow.com/abc-advertis... #boycottABC

I am Jack’s overburdening mitochondrial challenge

partial timeline cleanse (the composer was a war casualty, so there’s that)

You have to read the foreign press to gain insight into the true level of incompetence at the FBI right now.

He also enriched himself without ever doing any real work or contributing in any way to the improvement of society. That’s the model for politics today.

its wild how slippery objective consensus reality is right now

Surely government “knows” that citizens cannot distinguish between masked law enforcement officers and criminals. That’s what makes this a Reign of Terror.

Dear Lula, Lure Trumpstein down for a special "greatest ever award," then arrest/prosecute/convict him for interferring in/attempting to corrupt the Brazilian judicial system, and for fomenting a potentially destabilazing hemispheric coup, then throw him in Bolsonaro's cell. Would be wild!

If you live outside of the US, do you have crap like this on teevee?

“one of us” - a glimmer of distant understanding - the handlers look concerned

Murder is bad and “political violence” is not a term I would use to describe it if the victim never ran for nor held any elective office or served any role in government.

Tech bros about to learn kissing the ring and fancy gifts aren’t enough…

Just this week, Bessent threatened violence against Pulte. The rightwing wackos hate each other, have guns, and are the ones invading cities and killing legislators. I’m not buying anything Trump’s selling, and it’s so interesting that he seemed to be the first to know about yesterday’s outcome.

This doesn't make any sense. Charlie Kirk was practically a neighbor for years, and it never occurred to me that he should be harassed in any way. He wasn't an officeholder, and wasn't running for anything. He certainly knew some powerful people, though, and perhaps many secret things about them.
