I like to write, I don't do it professionally. I wanted to come here to post ideas that I'd like to put out through the ether(net). I'm happily married, decidedly dull, and read less than I write, and write less than I watch (tv).

Is it still revisionist history when it happened yesterday? Or is it historical negationism? I can never remember.

Anyone know Malcolm Gladwell?

Everyone making fun of poor Stephen Miller, saying he’s like a vampire, that he’s heartless; they say he’s an undead ghoul like Nosferatu or Dracula, so unfair…REALLY, he’s more like a Renfield…all hunched over and eating cockroaches, screaming “the blood is the life!”

trump’s reversal from posting videos of him shitting on Americans to worrying about the “affordability” of their lives…

Wasn’t another politician (mamdani) mentioning affordability (Mamdani) and that really connected (MAMdani) with Americans, who was that? (MAMDANI!!!!)

I guess we’ll never know…

Explain daylight savings to a dog? I don’t know, sounds a little ruff.

First, I don’t have the prerequisite background on why we even did it to be able to explain it to them, and dogs know too much about chasing their own tails for me to bluff my way through it…

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the guy (ostensibly) responsible for “Windows Vista” and “Teams“ doesn’t know how anything works…

He honestly looks like he’s melting…did someone screw up and let some water get dumped on him?

Gee, I can’t imagine who they’d give it to? Hosted in Washington you say?

Hmmm…think, think, think….

Pretty sure he’ll spend the rest of his life like all “Guardian Angels”; searching local bodegas for American-made American flags, then yelling at the proprietors about it until they finally call the cops…at which point he’ll try to citizen‘s arrest the proprietors (and maybe the cops).

First, hit up that sweet stash of bronzer, he needs another coat, then, ask him, “do you know, for a fact, where Obama was when this happened?”, if the answer is no, then blame Obama (obviously)

cost of shutdown to the US economy? 15 billion per week (originally stated as “per day”, twice, by Scott Bessent).

Cost of ACA subsidies extension: 350 billion dollars over ten years.

15 billion per day x 36 days = $540 billion dollars

15 billion per week x 36 days = $75 billion dollars.

I don’t care for Bill Maher’s commentary and his early “acceptance” of trump. It’s unhelpful; he’s less “truth-teller” and more “out-of-touch”.

Told in the form of one of his jokes:

“Bill Maher hasn’t been on the cutting edge since his coke days, and even then they were probably borrowed lines.”

How long before someone uses the old, ”it wasn’t me that wrote that post, it was the bot! The ai bot, my publicist convinced me it would be gangbusters!! That stupid thing said, “the president is like a bargain basement orangutan but thats not fair to orangutans” see it doesn’t even make SENSE!!”

Classic, “when I look around me, Y’know, in the country club, I see other PASSIONATE people, upset about high taxes, the cost of bronzer, golf-cart tires, AND NOW the added high taxes for their NY apts are gonna make them miss out on that 2nd yacht, that 3rd underground lair, which is just a shame.”

I hear Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s stock is rising amongst people who believe she may be a “reasonable“ voice within the (R) party…

I guess they forgot when she chased down David Hogg and called him a “coward” (and later supported the idea it was a “false flag operation”). www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/p...

Those officers wouldn't happen to have had their body cams active…would they?
Would love to see that video make the rounds.

One small thing people can do is refuse to consume shitty art that isn’t made by people

Interact with art made by real artists

based on his denial alone, I honestly had to ask myself…IS that OJ’s Bronco?
why else would he be so passionate?
this has shades of “Four Seasons”…and seems like how conspiracies are born.

I’ve seen that cartoon…the tiny asteroid hits the edge of the collective AI satellites and turns them from blocking rays to pointing the beam towards us and burning the Earth…nice try Elon, or should I say, Dick Dastardly.
Does that make “Big Balls” his Muttley?

Mike Johnson: …”and people would be represented! And they’d get healthcare! And we would have to solve social security! I mean, we be listening to the people instead of corporations and oligarchical billionaires!!!”

If we take away nothing else from all of this current administration’s chaos (and, spoiler: this is likely all that 99% of us will walk away with), let us not forget:

1. There are no moral billionaires
2. Citizens United sucks
3. Electoral college is passé
4. Supreme Court needs an overhaul
