The white men fantasizing about the return of American manufacturing don’t actually think they or their kids will be working in the factories. This is their American individual idealism at work: they believe there will always be someone else working hard for their benefit

Don’t just divide $722K by your weekly grocery bill and think that’s how many families this will hurt. Multiply it by 5 or 10. Could these monsters actually manage to be any more contemptuous of the poor?

Txt STOP to opt out of updates on war plans

And they’ll all call the left what they used to call the Russians, Commies, because apparently the new Russian kleptocracy is what they intend to emulate. Let’s not just put out the welcome mat for autocrats and their minions, let’s open the doors and pile up our valuables on the dining room table.

The anti science, or even more broadly, anti expertise agenda is going to be the final blow in the end of the American dynasty, and most Americans will usher it in with a “Take that, nerd.”

It works out beautifully:
Felon and his pal Elon
Rapist and his pal Apist
Motherfucker and his pal Otherfucker

Grapes are some of the most delicious things nature has ever devised, but if eaten after grape candy, they seem bland. Our online lives overshadow and overrule our real lives because they play only the melody, and that uncomfortably loudly.

And now the masses, both more and less informed than virtually all of our ancestors, have replaced knowing with feeling, because the knowing no longer requires their brain power, and unexamined feelings are a rush that no thoughts can best. As I explained to my children when they were young,

Thus, an Elon, who had a knack for buying into the right tech business of the time becomes lauded as a super genius, despite his obvious lack of actual science or engineering expertise. This Trump, a son of privilege, boosted to the highest strata of influence, despite basic ignorance of the world.

My fear is that this was inevitable from the rise of the internet. With first the world’s knowledge and later the world’s misinformation in one’s pocket, everyone becomes an expert on everything, and therefore no one is more expert than anyone else, despite years of training and experience.

If the so called Christian Nationalists followed the example and teachings of Christ, they’d be a lot less threatening to the rest of us.

I’m a vastly under qualified white man, but since I’ve been in the wine business for years, I’m assuming I can be Secretary of Agriculture. How hard can it be?

If Republicans are OK with the "Roman Salute" that Musk did then please start using it from now. Exactly how he did it. Begin your press conferences this way. Your Youtube shows. Go for it. Do it in Europe when you're traveling.

Celebrating Dolly’s birthday today to avoid thinking too hard about tomorrow…

This all started with the coining of Dramedy and the idea that you can write “realism” by throwing occasional jokes into heavier topics, but in practice, often fails at both goals.

I’m from the hills of TN, please don’t ask me to choose a favorite pork product! Bacon is the most versatile, so we’ll call that 1 to sausage’s 1A.

And because the richest 10% have convinced the bottom 50% that they are just billionaires in waiting, the bottom 50% don’t rise up and forcibly re-equalize the balance.

I’m not sure my liver is ready for the next four years

No one has ever earned $1B, let alone $100B+

This is a highly under-appreciated and underdiscussed aspect of why the 🇺🇸 oligarchy hates the idea of universal healthcare.

They want us trapped in our jobs. #MedicareForAll

#1 for economic growth, #40 in economy… fun with percentages based on small numbers.

My love/hate relationship with humanity is especially difficult at the end of the year. That said, happy holidays, and go to Hell.

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please share. Picture of library aisle filled with books.
