You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?

My black cat with his fox plushie

I’m wearing earbuds, testing EQ settings, etc. Since I’m at my desk, Aces (my cat) hopped up on my shoulder. Every time he sniffs the side of my head his nose touches the buds, changing the song I’m streaming. β€œTry new cat shuffle mode.”

It's almost like for all these years, rich and powerful people have been lying to us about what happens when they have to pay their fair share of taxes.

Sigh. Reading Orwell, THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER, and it's startling to see what hasn't changed since the 1930s.

Getting so close to my year end goal of 100 subscribers. If you haven’t already, do this poor Monacan filmmaker a solid, open your YouTube app (we all have the YouTube app downloaded, don’t play), and hit that subscribe button! It will help tremendously down the road when I’m trying to find funding.

Illinois needs a progressive income tax. It should be on the ballot every year until it passes.

Almost every other funding idea they come up with is just bullshit nibbling around the edges in ways that still predominantly tax working people instead of those with real wealth.
