But one of the world's most inept LSD dealers

One night, in desperation, I made a long list of concepts that I wanted to reflect in V, moving from one to another with a rapid free-association that would make any good psychiatrist reach for the emergency cord. The list was something as follows; Orwell. Huxley. Thomas Disch. Judge Dredd. Harlan Ellison's "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman." "Catman" and "Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World" by the same author. Vincent Price's Dr. Phibes and Theatre Of Blood. David Bowie. The Shadow. Nightraven. Batman. Fahrenheit 451. The writings of the New Worlds school of science -fiction. Max Ernst's painting "Europe After The Rains, ," Thomas Pynchon, The atmosphere of British Second World War films. The Prisoner.

If Alan Moore did not exist, you probably couldn’t invent him. Here he is describing how he came up with V for Vendetta ceeeej-blog.tumblr.com/post/1240411...

Will Congress rein in Pete Hegseth and his boat-bombing campaign? A deadly strike raises stark questions about America’s anti-drug war

“In the matter of respect for dignitaries, it should never be forgotten that duties are reciprocal, & while the people should frown down every manifestation of levity & contempt for those in power, it is the duty of the possessors of power to use it as to deserve and to ensure respect & reverence.“

At least George Will *did* know baseball

Netflix’s co-CEO pitched Trump on letting Netflix buy Warner Bros. Trump supposedly said he was fine with whoever bid highest, which was Netflix.

This is why corporations bent the knee. It’s easier to deal with one guy than a half-dozen agencies and members of Congress.

Mollie Hemingway?

Congrats again to Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson on their book sales

I don't see what's stopping the European Commission from saying something along the lines of: "We will no longer post on X and we don't think citizens of EU nations should post there either."

Since so many Trump Administration officials are veterans of reality TV shows, this gives me a great idea for a Survivor reboot…

Doesn't he live in upstate NY? And he is CEO of Palantir, so staff wouldn't make fun of him publicly, I don't think...

embedding youtube videos is a terrible user experience and should never be done. Just do a normal hyperlink to youtube dot com

Can't imagine.

Also, had nor realized that the Dreamers were still subject to the jurisdiction of their nation of birth. Never had noticed that.

You know what would have been really easy? To write an amendment that just said that persons formerly enslaved in the US were now citizens. Why doesn’t it use that narrow language, I wonder…

Selling their credibility for star billing at the next FedSoc and CPAC convos

Or we could just amplify this thread...

Never have seen you this grim, not even back in the freezer truck days

He's pulling the same simple trick AGAIN, with the Tariff Check.

Off Commanding in Mpls

What DOES Pantone call that color?

You all bored with the Commanders' game--or what

He heard about the Mpls Mayor convo...

This is where originalism is really spiritually aligned with straussianism—you, the clever contemporary scholar, are capable of uncovering the true hidden meaning that for centuries has eluded all those other chumps

Especially helpful that this video includes photos of documents that ICE and CPB might show to try and gain entry or detain people

STILL too poor to get a jar of hair gel, or to hire a stylist... 😆😏😩

Trump fundraising texts, asking me to CONFIRM Tariff Check

For my sins, I get Trump fundraising texts. I'm waiting eagerly:

Great! Wish there were many more like you!
