Bitcoin hit a high of $126,000 last year. Then it dropped to $120K, $110K, $100K, $90K, $80K, $70K and is no hovering around $60K.

More than a trillion in notional "value" wiped out.

There is no Fed or Treasury ready to bail it out.

But Congress is close to blessing it...

fuck him up

Oh great, everyone ELSE is finding out that Isaac Asimov was a sex pest, meanwhile *I’m* finding out he died of AIDS.

I had not known that.

And now, for the first time in years, I'm picturing Carol Channing smiling and saying "Shit griteefter!" (Don't ask, it's a long story.)

150 days of Kavanaugh stops, and it just keeps getting worse Kavanaugh stops would always be bad. As a tool in the Trump administration's authoritarianism arsenal, they are worse. The consequences are everywhere.

This evening, at Law Dork:

This is a lovely piece of writing from a writer with a name like an SCTV character and a great touching story to tell.

Okay, this would be the other "Dwigt" goof I was predicting

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow:

Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too.
