You're right. I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year!

tell me your fav film with a quote.

The events of TIMECOP (1994) predate the passage of HIPAA (1996) but they sure underscore the importance of privacy of medical records

It was a choice on the part of ABC to set up the mics so that they introduce a lot of white noise

i refuse to believe that americans who watched the debate think that biden’s first 15 minutes are somehow stronger evidence of old age decline than falling asleep, *in public*, DURING YOUR OWN FUCKING CRIMINAL TRIAL, *IN COURT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND JURY*, but, you know, i’m not a columnist.

Trump’s public schedule showed that on most days, he worked (“worked”), like three hours a day. And this isn’t even a “Biden can’t work late at night” issue. It’s a Biden is pulling back on SCHEDULED EVENTS that start after 8pm, which is actually a good idea for most people.

“It’s impossible that Roberts could be pro Trump, Trump attacked him.” Is an argument that someone whose job depends on reasoning actually typed out and put their name against.

"Balance" means printing the lies republicans tell about democrats *and* the lies republicans tell about republicans

Former president Donald Trump sought Friday to distance himself from a conservative think tank’s plan, known as Project 2025, for the next Republican presidency, as Democrats work to make it a political vulnerability for Trump in the November election.

I am absolutely fucking done with people whining about exercises of power to stop the immediate bleeding being inadequate because they aren't The Ideal Longterm Solution. Holding out for The Ideal Longterm Solution while the fascists use the existing levers as a crowbar is what fucking got us here.

This, except it should be decisions (plural). The administrative law cases are catastrophically bad as well (and kneecap every former, current, and future administration that wants to use regulations to enact public policy)

the first, second and third most important news stories this week are about the SCOTUS decision, and every columnist spending their time talking about biden old is telling you what they value. we don’t have to indulge them, though, stop your subs, stop clicking, stop talking about them.

occurs to me that bribing the president is now /always/ legal, since in every case the only way to distinguish gratuity from bribe is via evidence that could never be admissible

The demise of Chevron is being widely interpreted as an expansion of judicial power. It is that, but it also and more profoundly an expansion of power of moneyed interests. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-money-...

oh, you might say, the president can’t issue corrupt pardons. ah. but john roberts says that not only can he issue corrupt pardons, but if he tells his staff they are corrupt in the course of issuing them, that evidence is inadmissible in the event that you could somehow prosecute the corruption

If the president tells federal workers to illegally imprison me and hands them all presidential pardons, they're all safe from prosecution but in theory maybe a judge can get me out eventually. Somehow. If I can even talk to a lawyer. But if the president instead tells federal workers to kill me...

I have not forgotten how Stacy Abrams and AOC were admired up until the second they didn't do exactly what online activists wanted them to do Some of the people talking up Gretchen Whitmer these days will turn against her if she does run for president

I see that we’re getting to “I would have voted for Michelle Obama three times!”

Yeah, I think I'm going to repeat this a bunch of times: It is incoherent to call for Biden to remain in office but not run. What you're saying is that *you* know that he's fine, but foolish voters won't. And anyone saying that is a fool.

Oddly, the ed board says Biden is doing a good job as President, and doesn’t suggest he leave that office.

This was a terrific distraction

This week on the Dogg Zzone, @seanbaby.bsky.social, @brockway.bsky.social, and guest @moviehooligan.bsky.social - henceforth known as The Buzz Boyzz - watch their new favorite movie: The Beekeeper. A gloriously stupid action movie for fearful boomers and bee lovers alike.

I went to see the Orioles absolutely ruin the Texas George W Bushes instead of watching the debate and the ballpark was full of happy people celebrating pride night All is not lost

I went out and picked up takeout at a Thai restaurant during the debate and the city is just full of happy people enjoying a sunny summer day and not paying any attention. Life's good if we don't fuck up November

Their revenue model went from "normal" (i go into a store take an item off a shelf and purchase it) to "dystopian" (i go into a store and do a National Treasure to purchase an item) to save a few bucks on payroll while blaming it on the Hamburgler and suddenly wha-huh???

NEW YORK (AP) — Walgreens says a quarter of US stores are underperforming and it plans to shutter a significant number within 3 years.

One other thing about this insane upside down reporting: Trump never even once withdrew troops from anywhere ever. The reporting is indefensible anyway but there’s not even one example of this deeply rooted principle! Not one.

Trump’s support and active participation in the mass slaughter of Yemeni citizens was so senseless, Congress passed a bipartisan bill (!!) to end it and he vetoed it! Look at how the New York Fucking Times covered this blood lust:

ACAB (all chaps are buttless)

Guys, listen. All chaps are assless. That's what makes them chaps. They're armor for your pants. If they had asses they, themselves, would be pants.

Sometimes people ask me about the super rich in Renaissance Florence, whether the art/culture/science boom was an example of trickle-down working. (A) Florence had a wealth tax, (B) its richest man Palla Strozzi had the equivalent of only $250 million. Want more Leonardos? Tax the Rich. 🎨🧑‍🎨🖌🎭🔭🖼📚📐🏛🎻💰
