The front page of the New York Times today is something else. Everything, save for Robert Redford's death, is taken from the right-wing frame. I guess there are no opponents to the administration they can report on.

I can't tell you how much I hate the New York Times. They're just trolling us, now.

Reading the news this morning, this is pretty much where I'm at right now.

Anyone who has seen the Empire Strikes Back knows how fascists honor their commitments. There's no appeasement. If you're going to be destroyed no matter what, then decide to make it as hard as possible for them.

I was just thinking about how at the end of Game of Thrones, Dany burned all of Kings Landing to the ground and called it freedom. Everyone hated it. It's kind of what's happening in America right now.

"There's no way to talk someone out of beating you up if that's what he wants to do," said Elliot Gould's character in the 70s film, Little Murders. Seems apt today.

When bragging about "founding" multibillion dollar companies, Musk really exudes Max Fisher in Rushmore vibes.

Someone really wants to go out for a walk but doesn't realize it is pouring outside.

I love it when billionaires like Jason Calacanis feel like they can lecture the rest of us on "getting by with less" or "doing it ourselves." My retirement will depend on social security and medicare to supplement my meager savings. Screw this guy and his "up by your bootstraps" bullshit.

I'm rewatching Twin Peaks with my kids, and it's really incredible that this show -- even in its most conventional moments -- was ever on broadcast television.
