With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Shoes off at the airport? TSA gives the pesky rule the boot For nearly twenty years, most air travelers in the U.S. have been required to remove their shoes when going through security. That requirement has ended.

It's A Big Billionaires' Club And You Ain't In It!

The GOP's murderous bill and the Democratic establishment's attempts to destroy Zohran Mamdani are all reflective of the corrosive influence and destructive power of billionaires rigging the system.

Just call it the GOP's Big Billionaire Bill. Focus the energy in naming the villains who are screwing and killing the majority of Americans for the sake of greed, profit and cruelty.

Connect it to fighting the oligarchy and the 1%.

This is far more popular than establishment types realize.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.
