And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Hi @vox.com. I’m trying to understand the point of this absolute BS. No one is “wondering.” Kim K is exactly the same kind of person as Trump— a vacuous pit of narcissism— and of course she is MAGA. Have you ever heard her idiotic ramblings? She’s dumb and hardline right wing. This isn’t journalism.

"Luigi Mangione"

submitted 75 days ago • 2 comments

People celebrating Luigi Mangione, the health care CEO assassin, need to understand that vigilante killings are not celebrated or in any way condoned in the United States. We are a civilized country that values the lives of its citizens.

Listen: I LOVE. My dog. He is the world's greatest dog. He changed my life. We do everything together. We found him as a sick puppy on the side of the highway and I thank God every day for placing him in my path. Look at this angel!

"Wicked" does not synch up to "Dark Side of the Moon" at all. Sorry to everyone in the theater.

THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting. Pass it on. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If we have the opportunity to remake social media the way we want it, what will we do? For me I'm taking deep dives into topics that interest me. History and literature and culture. Following tons of accounts, and not following lots of media outlets like I used to do on Twitter.
