"If you seized all Elon's wealth it'd only be like $2,000 per American."

Do you know what a $2,000 'Fuck Elon' stimulus check would do for people and the country economically, emotionally and morally?

One side of the coin is that a lawmaker is saying that educating himself made him change his mind on an issue. (Which, good!)

The other side of the coin is that he's admitting that he authored, sponsored, filed a bill while having evidently spent no time doing reading or research about the topic.

Members-only Philly cop bar has been linked to two DUIs β€” and a third crash kept secret, until now Anna Wakeman still questions why 7C Lounge bartenders didn’t stop serving the officer who crashed into her house and upended her life five years ago.

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

Scene from The Good Place where Michael is standing next to Janet and saying he's surprised Jason figured it out, but it's edited so he's saying "England figured it out? England?"

Also involved in the U.S. portal effort is Edward Coristine, a former member of Musk's job-slashing Department of Government Efficiency, two sources said. Coristine works with the National Design Studio, created by Trump to beautify government websites. Reuters was unable to reach Coristine for comment.

Jeffrey Epstein Advised an Elon Musk Associate on Taking Tesla Private The financier recommended adding Margaret Thatcher to Tesla’s board, even though she had been dead for five years.

In 2018, after Musk infamously claimed that he had the funding to take Tesla private, his PR consultant went to Jeffrey Epstein for help convincing the Saudis to put up the cash he didn't actually have. Epstein also strategized on press coverage of Musk and recommended names for Tesla's board.

The Constitution is not a bargaining chip for a budget negotiation The Democrats demanded that Trump's immigration cops follow the law and the Constitution. The Republicans called those demands "nonstarters."

New at The Watch:

The Democrats' demands to "reform" Trump's immigration thugs aren't reforms at all. They're already the law, the Constitution, and widely accepted police practices. And in a free society, they'd never be negotiable.

"We're making some changes to our legal agreements that will apply to you" says an email for an account with a money handling company. And yet you cannot say no. Which means it's not an agreement. And it sure as hell ain't legal.

After all these years on this planet in a few different legal systems, I still don't understand how this is possible.

Anyway times that call for radical change will require radical candidates, so support your local radical today.

ChatGPT promised to help her find her soulmate. Then it betrayed her ChatGPT sent screenwriter Micky Small down a fantastical rabbit hole. Now, she's finding her way out.

Just a reminder that ChatGPT cannot betray anyone because it doesn’t have feelings or motives or thoughts

Him: the Leaf.
Me: what does the tree of that leaf make?
Him: MAPLE SYRUP!!

I do not remember The Princess Bride in the theater. Only the numerous VHS viewings. Given that I can recite that movie backwards and forward, including the opening baseball video game noises... that's surprising.
