I used to believe, by the way, that this was just done because Hollywood hates women over about 30. But increasingly, I think it is more a ploy to extend the career of male movie stars by using actresses as de-aging technology. You put him next to a 40-year-old, people forget he’s 60.

In contrast to the saddest military junta parade in history, millions of patriotic people took to the streets on Saturday to defend American principles against Trump.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.
