Fucking Bezos - if there's any gross misconduct it's in your direct interference in the fourth estate ... even if you bought part of it

Excerpt from "Something Lost, Something Gained," page 229: Welcome to Trump's America. If you live in a major city, the first thing you'll probably notice are the soldiers patrolling the streets outside your window.

On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines.

I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.

@crockett.house.gov thank you for bearding the lyin' in his den ... your calling out of Mike Huckabee was on 🐦‍🔥

@lesliekarst.bsky.social love your vivid portrait of RBG's time at HL. I did more digging ... then the math. 1957-58 HLR was 56 men & 2 women. Ergo 56 of the 491 men in her class to the 2 of the 9 women that you mentioned. Ergo 22% of the women in her class made HLR that year & only 11% of the men.

@catrionamcp.bsky.social hey did you know that Amazon has misclassified your 2nd Helen Crowther book as the latest Dandy Gilver book? Guessing I'm the 459th person to tell you this ... but just in case I'm the first

Likely

Granted there was a time when he cooked his heart out

But yeah ... the worst part of it was his putting words in Melissa Clark's & MacKenzie Chung Fegan's mouths to say they enjoyed the experience

What an innovative, honest & fair way to write a piece about your experience

This is what happened when Thomas Keller asked me to leave the French Laundry Thomas Keller is a legendary chef. Chronicle critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan hadn’t met him, until she went to the French Laundry and he asked her to leave.

Chronicle restaurant critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan went to the French Laundry for dinner.

Then Thomas Keller, one of the world's most famous chefs, asked her to leave.

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

Every time Judge Howell says "DOGE" it sounds like she can't believe she has to say it.

So much oxygen about Humphries Executor and Myers, zero oxygen about WTF is DOGE, what is its authority, is it even constitutional, and does it have the power to cancel contracts, bring armed law enforcement, and threaten US citizens

Judge Howell spent a lot of time at the hearing questioning counsel about the peculiarities of USIP's status as a non-profit created by statute -- is it like a federal agency or not?-- but spent ZERO time asking comparable questions about DOGE.

@jasonwise.bsky.social Matthiasson episode 💗! 3L bottle is a jeroboam - shocked you don't know your OT geneology bottle names. Bedrock who you've featured does box 3L GSM rose. Ryme in Forestville does box 3L vermentino & box aglianico rose. @sfineville.bsky.social since u fan girl Somm & Bedrock.
