Neither will I

I will never forget this one

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

The great grandpa looks younger than the grandpa. Overall, a very nice picture worth keeping.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Priorities.

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . .

“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”

Let that sink in.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.

Lovebird collects paper strips and tuck them between their tail feathers to transport back to the nest as building material.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

I’ll visit one of these days 😻

Setup or not, we still need such pleasant surprises from time to time to dust off some of the stress.

Well isn’t this lovely.

Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?)

What a terrific voice.

I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Once again, here is my video as I died and went to PARADISE for a a day, in beautiful Victoria Canada. Enjoy.

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity.

There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar.

Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.

Gupta: Here’s why this matters:

1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that…

2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.

Pentagon’s tech innovation head abruptly steps down Doug Beck has been a critical link between the Defense Department and Silicon Valley.

The head of the Defense Innovation Unit — the Pentagon’s in-house tech incubator — has abruptly stepped down, severing a key link with Silicon Valley.

D.C. Residents Rebuke Justice Department and Refuse to Indict DOJ Official Who Threw Subway Sandwich at Cop A stunning rebuke by D.C. residents

A judge once said any good prosecutor could indict a sandwich.

Well, the Trump DOJ just failed to indict someone for throwing one.

This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C.

Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?

Thank you #AOC for giving voice to the majority!

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.
