Brb, time to give to Wikipedia…

gonna have to sneak across the river into Illinois in the dead of night to get a dang Covid booster

got an entire college degree in Slavic Languages and Literature and never finished War and Peace 💀 now that’s shiftlessness

It’s one of my favorite books…run do not walk

Streisand Effect Notice!

The book, Lucky Loser, by Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig, is excellent, well organized, and ruthlessly documented. The NYT has an extensive archive on the Trumps, and committed journalistic malpractice by NOT dumping everything in 2016 & 2020.

don't understand this stuff really but whoa

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

people keep making comments about private equity buying up these farms, and, sure, maybe some of that happens, but there’s no market. the tariffs have vaporized the demand for these farms. it’s not a matter of buying up land and holding out until next year, that whole market is fucking toast.

correct. farmpacolypse is coming, and they are not only incapable of stopping it, they don’t even realize it’s coming.

The president wants all the parts of government closed that he can't personally profit from. So he doesn't care about health care for your family. He wants to build a White House ballroom and promote bitcoin.

Important piece, basically one of the most influential educational institutions in the world over the past 100 years abruptly collapsed due to unregulated pet projects that bankrupted UC’s entire research and education infrastructure.

Show up 🐸

They're terrified of peaceful protesters.

I do not want to talk to my tools. I do not want to talk to Siri, I do not want to talk to my toaster, I do not want to talk to my hammer. Leave me alone. FFS

"McConnell slips on ICE" was right there

It's not a presidency – it's an organized crime takeover of your government.

But let’s keep eyes focused:

USAID bought food & meds made in the US that was sent to Africa, where it saved lives.

Most or all of the “aid to Argentina” will be paid to US hedge funds to cover their losses on Argentine gov’t bonds. Hard to see what benefit their people will see from $40 billion.

It's going up to $40 billion.

USAID's budget last year was $28 billion.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Happy birthday to the Master of Noir, The Film Noir Foundation and TCM’s Eddie Muller, whose intros and outros on Noir Alley are sometimes better than the films. 🥂❤️ #BOTD #TCM #filmnoir #EddieMuller 🎬📽️ 🎈

….and so far, so good 👍

Exactly this, hopefully without a bunch of regressive nards wallering around in their own slop
