Da-Bears!!

I think it looks like it’s gen-z’s interpretation of gen-x entertainment.

Same vibe as Idocracy’s “brought to you by Brawndo”

Happy Birthday, Count

Her: "Who's your favourite literary vampire?"
Me: "The one in Sesame Street."
Her: "He doesn't count."
Me: "I can assure you that he does."

If we can’t watch Hocus Pocus together whilst carving jack-o’-lanterns and having hot apple cider by candlelight during a full moon on a cool October night with the sound of wolves in the distance, then what's the point?

Absolutely parasitic

It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Company that has an even more incredible future. I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL. Building leading edge Semiconductors and Chips, which is what INTEL does, is fundamental to the future of our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

NARRATOR: The War Powers Resolution does not let Trump do this

Yay! Filled and will listen

Ditto!

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

The level of whining and pettiness is staggering.

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

Q&A from a talk I gave last week.

Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?"

A: Fascism. It's fascism.

One of the tough things about covering Trump’s 2nd term is that he is breaking so many laws & norms that when you cover them each on their own, you come off as an anti-Trump Dem pundit w “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” But when you list it all out things indeed look pretty alarming

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.

His argument fails even on its own terms.

What happened to all the “states rights” people? How are the same people that screamed for decades about state rights the same people happy to hand over states privileges and authority over to “big government” which they’ve also fought against?? Why is their news failing them?

Some days it feels like winning by just saying no to buying more pimento cheese.

Due process. Without it, we are not the USA. No matter how heinous the crime or disgusting the person, they get due process. All people in the US (citizen or not) get their day in court to be judged and sentenced. If you don’t get that, if you don’t back that, you are espousing unAmerican ideals.

Who looks forward to a funeral??

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without due process. The Government's contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable.
