"What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for the people at Hoover (and other fonts of misinformation)." Now 4/4.

I'm inclined to start sending messages to my doctors' offices reminding them of my upcoming appointments and insisting I be seen on time. Turnabout = fair play.

PSA: Take lots photos of yourself in a MAGA hat with MAGA swag and merch. If you ever find yourself incarcerated, send them to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with a fawning note. Favorable results are guaranteed. You're welcome.

I am about to allow for up to 90 minutes to drive 19 miles and I rarely think about how absurd that is.

Some of these really do make me laugh out loud.

This probably won't be known for a Friedman Unit or two. How is this guy still taken seriously?

Looks like Trump is gonna wait until January to cut my energy bill in half. Kinda hoped he'd do it gradually instead of all at once but still, I am stoked! So exciting.

NO ONE will convince me that Facebook does not track me across apps despite my (frequently checked) settings.

I think I've figured it out: The Top 0.1% want to get to a full 50% of the wealth hoarded by the Top 1%. They're currently at ~45% and showing no signs of letting up. That Top 0.1% has about $23T of the Top 1.0%'s $52T total. Go, oligarchs, go!

I won a FOIL appeal against my county yesterday and yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about myself today. 👍😀

The landing page of an actual US agency — HUD.

Even if the GOP lie about Dems wanting $1.5T in unnecessary spending were true, which it isn't, we just took in $17 TRILLION in new money, so what's the big deal?

When — if ever — does the GOP stop excusing this clearly bizarre behavior? I urge everyone to find and watch that video and then tell me Trump has all his marbles.

Friday's NFP won't be "rigged" if it isn't published.

We should probably start to wean ourselves off thinking the Constitution matters.
