One time I got sued by Stephen King. We didn't end up going to trial, instead we settled in King Author's court.

...I'm sorry for this one.

The advertising is the useless part because the product would sell itself?

America/Canada deserves a decent midsized, mid market Wagon with an actual advertising campaign behind it.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

This is like if a doctor lost his job for killing patients on purpose and then a year later got his license back for no good reason and then wrote a memoir called First, Do Harm.

This is exactly what the modern GOP stands for and supports. Their bigotry, hate, misogyny and racism are defining characteristics now.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

RESULTS: voters in Oklahoma City have passed all 11 ballot measures that make up this package—unlocking $2.7 billion across hundreds of projects. All measures up by gigantic margins.

Taniel @taniel.bsky.social · 9h

A set of elections to watch today: Oklahoma City residents are deciding whether to finance $2.7 billion in projects and services, a big chunk to street projects but also large pots for other purposes like funding parks.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

it wasn't enough that our cities and states already paid far more than they receive from the federal government. the people who elected trump want to steal more from us, to give to Argentina, to give to ICE, to give to billionaires. Intolerable

Trump admin has frozen or cancelled $28 b for projects, almost all in Dem districts. Small amount of frozen funds in GOP districts are in predominately Dem states (CA, OR, WA, CO, MN, IL, NY, MD), or in predominately Dem cities (St Louis, Atlanta, Greenville) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump admin is freezing or cancelling billions of dollars in funding for projects in Democratic areas.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."
