Got a more coffee and a coworker remarked that it’s pretty late in the day to be drinking another cup. I made a joke about how I like to live life on the edge. It’s time to take me out back and shoot me like a lame horse.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I’m trying to delete my twitter account and it actually won’t let me. Keeps saying an unknown error occurred. I guess that’s one way to keep people from ditching your horrible website

They're dismantling the agency that can, if it did robust enforcement, fill the deficit. For every $1 it spends on enforcement it generates $5-$9 in revenue. We lose ~1 trillion dollars each year to tax fraud, mostly from the rich. Musk paid no income tax in 2021 www.propublica.org/article/the-...

Of course it doesn't matter that congestion pricing was working, as this is part of the broader program of theatrically wrecking shit as part of the broader campaign against any new thing. But it was working incredibly well.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

I dunno, it’s insane that Trump is gonna single-handedly cause a mass food shortage. Between this and the plane crashes, that’s the Republican platform in a nutshell: everything holding society together will be eliminated just to line the pockets of the handful who already have everything

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

I'm sorry but if you see a plane crashed and the first thought in your head is "probably happened because of a black guy," you don't have anything to offer humanity and you probably shouldn't even leave a note.

Dems can: -oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn -deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings -vote no on all cloture -force quorum calls at every chance It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.
