Literate smartypants still hopeful about education and only once considered voting for a Republican. Only partisan when the other side is STUPID. Interests are popular music and film, art, aesthetics, novels, romanticism and ancient history not in order.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

I sounded the alarm on behalf of millions of Americans who don't want Elon Musk's lackeys digging into their personal data.   Today, a federal judge barred them from accessing your private data.   This is why we fight.

0.000008% of the federal budget. And utterly, irreplaceably, priceless.

The world is so weird that it feels sorta anti-semitic to deny that Moses authored the Torah, the first five books of the original bible (that is, the Old Testament). Honestly only Genesis is of the quality of Homer, Virgil or Ovid and it is clearly composed of three sources at least.

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

Ossoff: Trump’s cabinet is worth like $60 billion. That’s not even including Elon. They are literally the elites they pretend to hate.

Thanks to Tom Breihan and Stereogum for the kind words. www.stereogum.com/2301308/watc...

I do not think I could read Jojo's Bizarre Adventures in manga form because even Stardust Cruisers is repetitive. Art is great and the power-scaling is the kind I like but it does not feel the way that Golden Ocean does. And all dudes looking like they do is tiresome.

I enjoyed Dark Winds so much I subscribed to Acorn. I do want the third season to include Bernadette and Jim Chee.

That time of year that we have to stop moaning about how the short the days are in Seattle because Equinox (vernal) means the PNW is about to surpass southerner places with length of day.

There is NO FAA CONTROVERSY. Since Donald Trump has taken office & has GUTTED the agency, we've SEEN the results. Just watch this video. Thank goodness the pilots reacted so fast or we would have yet ANOTHER tragic collision in the span of weeks.

The slew of near misses and air crashes since President Trump took office aren’t just “bad luck.” Musk & Trump fired hundreds of FAA staff that keep our airways safe. “Cutting costs” should never come at the expense of public safety.

What Do Joy Reid, Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin, José Díaz-Balart and Alex Wagner Have In Common? None of them is white, and MSNBC is canceling or sidelining them all. www.wonkette.com/p/what-do-jo...
