for those of you in the market, my local camera shop β€” which ships everywhere in the united states β€”Β has some great analog gear available. i'm especially enamored of what the owner calls a "FrankenLeica," a Leica M3 built from the bones of a Leica M1. www.procamera.us/product/fran...

Ben Collins, from β€˜The Onion’: β€˜The powerful have a revenge fantasy, it’s the revenge of the dorks’ The CEO of the leading US satirical website explains what to do when reality is crazy, and how he is trying to buy the website of a famous conspiracy theorist

I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him.

Anyway, go read his interview with the biggest Spanish newspaper here: english.elpais.com/technology/2...

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

We wanted to share this to help people understand what’s going on. It was shared by Jay Kuo and written by Steve Vladeck a clear, straightforward breakdown of the SNAP situation.

Is Justice Done? You’ve probably seen or read at least something about the story that is the subject of tonight’s post.

Prosecutors are facing discipline for telling a judge the truth in a sentencing memo. This post traces the case, its facts, the sentencing process, and helps us understand why this completes the cycle of corrupting the Justice Department Trump has set us on.

Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

When billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Epstein’s clients are wealthy and powerful. They easily buy greedy politicians like Trump, Vance and Mike Johnson. I hope the Epstein files haven’t been destroyed already.

Social Security is NOT a handout.

It is a benefit earned with every paycheck, and it must be protected and expanded, not cut, privatized, or means-tested.
