Interviews now underway at all bars within one block radius of Fox News studios

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

These hackers are the heroes America needs right now. Kind of like a mashup of The Onion and Mr. Robot. www.paloaltoonline.com/technology/2...

As my macro prof said, "when the facts don't fit your theory, get better facts." "Over many years, when he has been presented with statistics that don’t comport with his instincts, he demands that people find him alternative information that backs up his beliefs." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

This is high art

Everyone knows the skills are easily transferable.

Call me paranoid, but I somehow doubt that "awesomepeopleleaderschannel.com" is a bona fide Social Security Administration domain. Though one never knows in these dark times.

he says this like its a bad thing?

If you had told me back in the ancient day when I was a union labor lawyer that I would someday be rooting for Perkins Coie, I would have been more than mildly skeptical.

On this day in 1127, Charles the Good, Count of Flanders, was hacked to death by knights of a rival clan while praying in a Bruges church with arms outstretched to give coins to the passing poor. "Are you guys kidding," he rasped at the end, "What part of Charles the Good do you shitheels not get?"

I suppose this will have the beneficial effect of helping the Times, but I'm not sure what else it does except making Mr Grissom feel a bit better.

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

Couldn't put it better myself.

Very David Lynch.

In memory of the great Garth Hudson.

one unstated implication of this argument is that those of us whose diagnosis of trumpism is that it is tied tightly to gendered and racialized status anxiety are close to the mark.

It's hard to understand that such nonsense got published in @theatlantic.com. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

This is the most amazing nomination statement in the history of nominations.

Sen. @schatz.bsky.social argues that Democrats need to stop saying things that are “egregiously weird sounding” to echo activists and academics and instead speak like normal people. “But it’s also just alienating. This magic words thing has to go away.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Every Democratic lawmaker needs to be on television, radio, and social media hammering the shit out of Trump's embarrassing failure to get a continuing resolution passed with his cruel budget priorities. Make it hurt. Call out their incompetence. Show some goddamn fire.

Call me a fuddy duddy, but it seems very, very, VERY wrong to turn The Sorrows of Young Werther into a room-com.

To quote the late, great (?) Stringer Bell, "is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" Or as we used to say at the Washington Appellate Defender Association, "just because you're a felon doesn't mean you can't be stupid."

All of these things can be true: - Hunter Biden broke the law. - Hunter Biden traded on his last name to make money. - Hunter Biden’s actions were exploited and wildly exaggerated by unscrupulous Republicans in an effort to damage his father.

Good. About f-ing time.

Became I'm sure he has vast experience serving Medicaid patients.

If he won't answer tough questions, should he be the DNC Chair?

If Shaddam IV was the 81st emperor from House Corrino (see Appendix IV of Dune), and if the events of Prophecy occurred 10,000+ years before Paul A's birth, the average Corrino reign (not just life) would exceed 125 years. Seems unlikely. Or was there a break in the dynastic rule of House Corrino?

In this crucial time, if you know any undecided voters - ask yourself why you haven’t weeded these morons out of your life. You deserve better.

Weird... Couldn't have anything to do with gender.

The more I think about it, the more “this country was built on hard work, not dei” about a country that wrote slavery into its constitution perfectly encapsulates the way racism and denial work hand in glove
