Trying a different variant cover as Kickstarter landing page thumbnail. We're calling the fake poster a tribute to Crown International Pictures. Too obscure a reference? Issue #5 campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dri...

Fox News just told us today's market crash is "a rebirth of the American spirit" because we have been in "a depression of purpose" by making so much money. #UpIsDownBlackIsWhite.

I turned on the hearing late and of course the hour was still early, so didn’t line up the shot glasses to play the Hi Bob game whenever a GOP sympathizer said β€˜But her emails’

A friend who tried to go to the AOC and Bernie rally today simply couldn’t park. Not even at the nearby shopping center. Hope this is reflected in coverage on @maddow.msnbc.com etc - especially if venue doesn’t look full.

It helps our sanity to always assume they know they are lying and play-acting - anything to play the base for power. But even more disturbing is that this psycho might actually believe what he’s yelling.

Felt that outrage first term after they said same of Obama, but now I wish he would golf seven days a week.

Once read that in Oceans 11, Soderbergh would script note β€˜SBOT’ next to lines of dialogue - β€˜Something better out there.’

Or giving control of our FAA systems over to a megalomaniac Bond villain whose limited interest in nation states leans toward the authoritarian ones.

Lording over the cabinet meeting in his ballcap - the only one standing to send out the body language that he’s in charge.

Why aren’t the presidents of the big airlines on the phone to the White House about FAA cuts? It’s apparently ok to risk lives for political terrorism, but isn’t it also, uh, bad for business?

On one side of the graph, I age into the demo the Grammys used to be for. On the other, they continue to get less embarrassing. Somewhere the lines intersect, because we’re actually enjoying this year’s with much less smirking and snark.
