A masterful whatever-we-call-a-bluesky-post!
I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Starbucks uses a wholy-owned subsidiarity in Switzerland to puchase coffee beans, which are then sold to other Starbucks divisions at an 18% markup.
Thusly, Starbucks shifted $1.3b of profit from the 21% US corp tax rate, to 8.5% in Switzerland.
