Rockefeller was considered the richest person in history at a net worth of 198 billion dollars in today's money. If he were alive today, he'd be only the 5th richest person alive. Somehow they still all had plenty of money in the 40s when we instituted the 90% tax rate. Anyway tax billionaires

Happy Spring Fox Day! Spring Fox steals your socks! He hides eggs for you to hunt! He gives you sugar chicks and bunnies like he likes to eat! (This is our alternative to Easter)

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

my hope is that the terminally online elder millennials like jd vance and nayib bukele who are driving the resurgence of fascism will keep displaying their anti-social wretchedness until enough people realize they fucking suck and no one should listen to them

My spouse very much wants one of the comedy programs to hire Kaitlin Olson @kaitlinolson.bsky.social to play AG Pam Bondi in a skit where she has to come to terms with being the highest law enforcement official in the US and required to send out memos about banning paper straws.

This Passover is the 19th anniversary of the The Black Angels' album, 'Passover.' In November 2005 they stayed at my house in Akron, Ohio, and my dog ate the guitarist's wallet.

This is such fucking eugenics bullshit. Has anyone evaluated this guy for autism? I feel a twilight zone episode coming on.

I was scared to first put up a queer pride flag (red state resident) but the biggest surprise was how much more often people stopped by my house asking for help: stuck motorists, unhoused neighbors, etc. Some told me outright that the flag made them guess that I cared about them and that's correct

Yesterday I had a really good interview and then, by evening, I was angrily rattling on about (checks notes) my neighbors' petty divorce squabbles.

Finished 'Immortal Dark' by Tigest Girma. It's kind of a hornier Twilight/Harry Potter vampire academia fantasy about a young woman driven by revenge, drawn into a secret society hoping to find her lost sister. I picked this one up because it's outside my normal selections.

Instead of deporting undocumented, tax-paying immigrants by using the IRS, why not create a legal path to status for them? They paid over $96 billion in taxes in 2022 alone. With a real path to legal status and without ICE breathing down their necks, they would contribute even more.

I am increasingly pissed about how all my Kickstarter pledges are getting boned by tariffs. All these books and board games, mostly produced in China, are going to be stalled, cancelled, or converted to digital products and it's stupid.
