"He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him."
When the last person who voted for Trump dies.
We’ve endured 10 months of Trump’s mayhem so far. A question I’ve been asking various people is how long they believe it will take for America to recover from Trump — if the nation ever will recover?

What do you think? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-how-long-will-it-take
Office Hours: How long will it take us to recover from Trump?

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Thirteen years ago today two pretty girls in their twenties, not realizing I could hear them, described me as "nice boots" and "ok for an old guy."

Then realized I was listening to them, and the one who said I was ok blushed, and then *I* blushed, which I hadn't known I could do.

Actually had a modest breakthrough today. I started going to the gym -- to swim -- 5 months ago. About 3 months ago I started doing weight work.

I was at the gym 75 minutes today. 60 & a bit were (for an old man) high intensity exercise -- 30 weight work, bare bit over 30 swimming.

Charlie Kirk was a biblical literalist who described the OT's call to murder gays as "God's perfect law."

I'm glad he got shot and I feel the same way about anyone else who wants to kill gay people.

The only people I legitimately believe aren't gay are liberal men who say they aren't. There's no real downside in our world for coming out, and lots of support.

I've had people complain because I mock cons for their perversion and hidden gayness, "it's hard to be in the closet!"

Elsewhere someone described Jeffrey Epstein as charismatic. Same comment about Trump.

Look folks, Epstein was a stooge and a child rapist, Trump is one of the world's worst people, a murderer and child rapist.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

I got to tell you folks, I've known this since they carried water for the invasion of Iraq, over 20 years ago.

Admittedly I am old. But there are probably some middle-aged people floating around out there who knew it too.
This is the week we learned that the New York Times is willing to cover up handjobs for some people and also willing to give them to others.

42 million people were cut off from SNAP, many of them children and the disabled.

There have been multiple court orders pay up, but the regime refuse.

Now they’re going to force everyone to reapply.

This will kill people.

Which I firmly believe is the point.

"All we want"

Well, that and the complete destruction of a political party that ran a man they knew was a child rapist, three times.
*taps mic*

If Dems are in “the files,” then they should be prosecuted too. I don’t give a damn how important they are, how much money they have, or what their politics are. If they are in there, PROSECUTE THEM!!

It's not complicated. All we want is equal justice. NO ONE is above the law. ⚖️

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Had occasion to look at my block list recently. 90% of them I don't remember, 90% of the remainder I don't remember why I blocked.

The 1% who are left tend to make me a little sad, I admit, though I'm not tempted to undo any of them.

Bunch of people out there trying to explain the secret wisdom of the 8 Dems who sold us out to reopen the government.

Somebody should explain it to the other Democratic politicians, many of them don't see it.
