To be clear…

My reaction to last night’s debate…

The classic #SteveMartin film "The Jerk" was sort of misnamed. Navin R. Johnson (played by Martin) isn't really a jerk in the film. He's simply a simpleton and rube. Always found the film entertaining, but just a passing observation about the title.

Trump is losing it… "THEY WANT TO SENTENCE ME TO DEATH!" Well, we weren't looking for that, but ok, it's a deal.

But his emails: Trump’s increasingly unhinged calls for violencewww.salon.com Trump claims he may face death sentence, threatens Joe Biden with "DAY OF RECKONING." This really isn't normal

Good. There was no reason to life the gag order and unleash the MAGAts on jurors, court family members, etc.

New York's top court declines to hear Trump's appeal of the gag order in his hush money caseapnews.com The decision is the latest legal setback for the former president, who has repeatedly railed against the gag order.

Great job WaPo, this shit story (and the months of downward, and right-ward drift) has finally motivated me to get off my ass.

There is no clear scientific evidence that social media is causing mental health issues among young people. Public health officials are pushing for regulation anyway.

What research actually says about social media and kids’ healthwww.washingtonpost.com Here’s what the research has shown about the effect of social media use on kids’ and teens’ mental health.

An honest re-branding.

Noodling around with a new #Oregon flag design.

Finished watching the HBO documentary series “Ren Faire” last night. It was interesting though a bit heavy-handed filmmaking to try and play up the cinematic drama. But what I found more off-putting was the central character of it all, so-called "King George". The guy is a toxic, major douchebag.

Blows me away that there are still people who will vote for the convicted felon.

Somehow missed it, but the state of Minnesota's new flag design went into effect (as well as a new state seal). Needless to say, the design is a VAST improvement over the older design(s).

Hmmmm.

Today is the day Donald Trump became precedent

Worth considering the historical nature of Trump's brand of "winning" as President.

First president in 28 years to not serve a second term. First president in 45 years not to release any of his tax returns. First president in 89 years to lose the presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term. First president in 102 years 2 allow more than 720k Americans 2 die in a virus

Assessing Republican politics in the age of Trump…

Gee, Alito is a lying scumbag (and coward hiding by his wife). Who could have predicted that?

Alito lied about the reason the flag was up because he didn’t know the couple had text messages establishing the date of when the incident took place. They were supporting the insurrection. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...
