Kendrick brought America together the way that "Country Roads" ad was supposed to.

You know the robin williams quote about how politicians should wear their sponsors logos like nascar drivers? Well this labeler kinda gives you that experience

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Are they replacing it with White Power?

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."

While I work on this year's valentine, here's last year's.

Watch this. And then watch it again.

Trump Promised a Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates. Here’s His Chance. Senators Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley say they will propose a 10 percent limit on credit card interest rates.

Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.

Today, I introduced legislation with Sen. Hawley to do just that.

We cannot continue to allow big banks to rip-off Americans by charging outrageously high credit card interest rates of 25 or 30%.

We don't talk enough about Vince McMahon's moral compass being so screwed up that he thought that "yes, I suspected my employee was using his job to molest children and fired him over it, then decided to rehire him weeks later if he 'agreed to stay away from kids'" somehow made him look good.

Trump’s unilateral decision to impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico is most likely illegal and most definitely harmful. 

Economists estimate that these will increase costs for the average American family by as much as $1,200 a year.

We need to drive prices DOWN, not UP.

Front page of the nyt

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

A one-up of planets visible in the night sky at the moment, with an airplane crossing the shot.

So this was the sky last night. Early evening is the best time to catch the planetary parade, but it’ll be happening for few weeks, and Mercury might even be visible too at the end of the month.

I know you’re going to tell me that I’m an idiot but I really am surprised that my former friends who became Musk fans aren’t waking up to reality right now.
