So, it turns out Scaramucci lasted approximately two Zacharias.

I demand that we only pay car and home insurance after we have an accident

Prediction: SROs and Police responding to incidents will get drone pepper sprayed.

Harder and harder to mark satire as satire without explicitly screaming "THIS IS SATIRE!!!" but this hit that mark. Well done.

Democrats: *keep winning elections Packed Courts: "Whoa there, slow down..."

Got a little music thing going on. If you ever wondered what The Beatles would've sounded like if they formed in 1977 an played through the '90s, the give @tickettoriot.com a follow. No content yet really, but we hope to add some in the next several weeks. 🎸🥁

Peter Thiel set $10m ablaze trying to plow through checks on the authoritarian takeover of the United States and lost. #virginia

Currently reading "An African History of Africa," and one of the emergent themes is that empires for which a major source of wealth was robust agriculture repeatedly farmed themselves to death in a time before we had the technical knowledge about how to not do that. Today, we have the knowledge. 😐

When indoor cats make that funny chirping sound because they want to get the bird outside but know they can't just bust through the screen.

RVA: Wed, May 20 from 6 - 8 PM I'll be on guitar with the Duke Benet Ensemble at VMFA's Dominion Energy Jazz Café.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility (one day late, I know). You have an absolute right to be who and how you are without weirdos in government and law enforcement harassing you and trying to legislate you out of school, work, and public spaces. 🤘🏼

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

This is the key to understanding why unpopular things get funded, popular things get shelved, and the courts are staffed with too many ideological wingnuts.

Using AI tools:

Get ready for "I'd love to release the files but as you know there's an ongoing investigation (that I directed the attorney general to initiate to distract from my involvement), and Pam tells me we shouldn't make evidence public when there's an open investigation so you'll have to ask her about it."

Gonna tell my kids this was COVID restrictions.

Excellent context for the possible reasoning behind KBJ's decision. (Hint: she's pushing on both the lower courts and her SCOTUS peers to not fck this up).

Celebrate tonight and celebrate tomorrow. Beginning Thursday morning, there is work to do.

This is the kind of lopsided result you see for the GOP in red states, but only after they gerrymandered the absolute living fck out of their districts.

Fascist enablers gettin' dey ass beat.

I have 100 calories left for today, and I'm going to spend all 200 of 'em on a slice of this cheesecake.

"Extraordinary 'ability'"...

You left out the part where rich people spend a billion dollars on all sides of an election campaign to guarantee that when the rubber hits the road, the rich will get the tax break without having to do the "incentive" part.

In the cheap fun category, we actually have an independent source of data. The Bureau of Economic Analysis has data on payroll taxes paid by month. apps.bea.gov/iTable/?reqi...

For the good of the country, the agents with first-hand knowledge of this request need to go on every wingnut podcast, broadcast, and radio show immediately from now until Beyond the End of Eternity. And bring the receipts. Going on NPR and CBS won't break through to who needs to hear this.

Jeff Bezos reportedly wants to buy Condé Nast as a wedding gift for his wife. CN owns Vogue, Teen Vogue (which has been absolutely banger in the modern era), and Wired, among others. What might happen to reporting like this if CN becomes another Bezos property?

Oh. My. Gods. What in the actual fuck do they think they're doing here? Could they name it ANYTHING else? Like, at all?

Manifestly *NOT* a genius.
