Watching ANNIE (1982) for the first time in... 30? years and am realizing that Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks war bucks is an arms trader I am very smart and have two post-secondary degrees, please don't ask any follow-up questions

Holy shit, I've hit the big time. I just got a giant box of very rare and very cool merchandise for my favorite show on TV, and one of my favorite shows ever: Reacher

A Predator movie where the Predator shows up in Washington DC, but gets all bummed because there are no spines for him take as a trophy.

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

This 2018 editorial page hangs on my home office - I wrote one of the columns. Chuck Plunkett, the editor, lost his job for publishing this. He should have won a Pulitzer for that bravery. It was the first alarm bell for free, independent journalism. Today’s #WaPo news is a death knell.

Stop being so wonderful I’ve got chores to do!!

The Supreme Court blocked a judge’s order to quickly unfreeze payments for foreign aid work.

Same, but for Star Trek

"Deja News" is a term I came up with to describe old information being continually presented as new so that the corrupt can dodge accountability and the media can enable them. Excerpts from my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW, published in 2020 and 2022:

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

I beg of you all to have your Real ID/passports/birth certificates up to date and ready for if you need to leave

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

A critical point.

yes but is it possible we have too many kids? at least this admin is bold enough to ask the question

anyway there's a good book called 'The Dictator's Army' you should read

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

I hate everything about this

On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.

Jfc Schumer there’s a fucking COUP going on, either throw a vyacheslav or step aside

gonna be so fun when historians try to parse this moment out in a hundred years or so "Wait so you guys had all the money, so much money, and you shot your economy in the head because of a dog meme?"
