I actually have nothing against Canada except jealousy of their healthcare. But I’m proud to have written this sketch and song. Eh.

Excellent piece by Ed. Long but so worth reading for perspective on the extreme corporate rot stinking up our world. His aim is true!

Newsletter: The Shareholder Supremacy has eaten the world, turning the tech industry into the playground of do-nothing management dictators that see human beings as assets and the customer as subordinate to growth - all inspired by GE’s Jack Welch. www.wheresyoured.at/tss/

The Shareholder Supremacywww.wheresyoured.at I promise you, everything that's happening makes sense. It all feels so chaotic, so utterly, offensively stupid, so disconnected from reality that it's hard to understand how Meta can run a terrible company with decaying services that's also wildly profitable, or how Meta, Microsoft and Google can proliferate unprofitable, unsustainable

oh well! 🤷‍♂️

In "N/A," two people who have been reduced to depoliticized memes—Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—are ushered into another often toothless sphere: the unsubtle mainstream liberal fantasy realm of commercial theater.

Clarence Thomas unquestionably committed tax fraud on his motorcoach deal and the president has the power to put him in handcuffs this afternoon, in his official capacity in charge of the IRS and federal law enforcement

Just replace con law textbooks with “whatever our most cartoonish billionaire fascist wants”

Don’t worry, Dick Durbin is considering the possibility of a letter that slightly disagrees with them. Mulling it over right now!

The president is himself forever immune from prosecution for crimes committed using his official power, and he can pardon anyone for helping him to commit federal crimes, explicitly including an actions in furtherance of a coup to illegally hold onto the office of the presidency. That’s the upshot.

I’d like to indulge an I Fucking Love Science moment, if I might. Last fall I got diagnosed with Hepatitis C, an unwelcome surprise but one that made sense of some symptoms I’d been having. I got prescribed a one-month course of antivirals, took ‘em. Got tested this week and: it’s totally gone! 👍

Keep Biden on the ticket but make it Hunter. Campaign on “Time for Sweet Revenge on These Fucking Republicans.” Landslide!

if your candidate can't put together a minimal techno set that makes me feel like a single blissed out atom vibrating in a cosmic sea of like-minded atoms then your candidate cannot be said to be serious about the economy

“Restore Roe” is a bad slogan because: 1) doesn’t mention abortion (cowardly) 2) sounds like Scooby Doo trying to say something else (confusing)

In a fucked up turn of events, I would use the end of Chevron as the excuse to expand the court and the whole judiciary by pointing out that they don’t have the capacity to hear all the cases they just gave themselves. 27 justices, double the size of the circuits. Huh. Thanks John Roberts.

@kashana.bsky.social I just finished The Survivalists and really really enjoyed it, bravo!

If you still want to say that the debate sucked tonight, STAY IN LINE

great news! bravo to the librarians and everyone else who pushed back. still, the clown mayor who started this mess needs to GO.

After months of public outcry and pressure from the City Council, New York City’s libraries are poised to have their budgets fully restored so that branches may resume seven-day-a-week service, including Sundays. gothamist.com/news/nyc-lib...

NYC libraries to get budget funding back — and reopen on Sundaysgothamist.com In November, the mayor's budget cuts forced libraries to close on Sundays. The issue has been a thorn in his side ever since.

Pretty cliche local politics scandal, just another tarantula-throwing incident.

It’s hard to believe that a county commissioner candidate who would loudly rev up a gas mower claiming they’ll all be taken away would also throw a tarantula at someone and set up a fake Grindr account for her ex and commit credit card fraud and fat shame the person she threw the tarantula at

What’s all this talk about ham reduction?
