From a friend: "You can't spell tariffs without FFS"

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

I was homeless when the Cat Distribution System recruited me. Camped under a bridge alongside the old canal, I shared my food and blanket with some homeless kittens. “You’re a good person” a voice said. I startled and clutched my blanket, backing up against the concrete. “Sorry to startle you […]

I see from Watch Duty that the Oregon fire season has its kickoff fire. Yes, this is days after everyone in Eugene was posting pics of Amazon Creek flooding from the big storm.

Sure, eggs are expensive but Trump has made stocks affordable for everyone.

"What do we want?" "Modest improvements!" "When do we want 'em?" "Eventually!"

If someone out there knows Carole Cadwalladr personally, please ask her to put her new newsletter anywhere but Substack.

WTF, I just noticed Boing Boing — probably the earliest popular tech blog — has outsourced all its comments to Substack! Note the "comment on Substack" link at the bottom of each post. Talk about #enshittification! […]

When *I* hear "heavy metal subdwarfs" I think of KMFDM performing a cover version of Soft Cell's "Sex Dwarf". https://mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez/113466360157614743

I intend to avoid the US presidential debate. Pretty sure I can already predict the hot takes in the press when Trump (inevitably) shits in his pants: "Pant-shitting shows magisterial command of the debating stage" (New York Times) "Trump's pant-shitting a classic alpha male primate dominance […]
