Comrade Obvious

Today's #WashingtonPost front-page headline: "The #midterm #elections won't give us any relief from high prices! #Congress can't help you! #Voting is useless! Give up!"

I suspect a lot of the "parental rights" crowd are also pretending to champion "grandparents' rights" even when it blatantly contradicts "parental rights." And they won't care about the contradiction, because they don't really care about anyone's rights. And yes, this is antiqueer propaganda.

Four Weddings and a Funeral for Tax Purposes

2001: A Space Odessy for Tax Purposes

Yesterday (10/13) I, a #White man, got that $90 #Medicare #Improvement Fund #check from #Trump/#USGovernment. AFAIK the #Black woman I'm living with has yet to get a check (I normally see our mail first). Has anyone else got their check? Is anyone else seeing the pattern I just saw a tiny hint of?

My hovercraft's full of eels.

This should be front-page news, just like #NewtGingrich's impeach-Clinton crusade...

Not sure whether y'all can see this YouTube video from here, but give it a try. This is a neat, articulate summary of all the ways #Trump and his party have shafted all the non-filthy-rich people who voted for him, each group thinking he'd be shafting someone else. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V4U...

Look on the bright side, folks -- at least this distraction from the Epstein files isn't likely to get as many people killed as some of their other distractions... 😒 🙄

Anyone ever heard of Milon's Secret Castle? I tried playing that because I was bored with Super Mario Bros, but it just never went anywhere. One big room full of stuff happening, nothing indicating progress, no sign that there even was a next stage or level, let alone how/where to get there.

Yo, speaking of which, has anyone heard from ol' Mitch since that AP article claiming he'd phoned in (or whatever) to say he'd be voting remotely...? Any corroboration or confirmation? I should think there'd be a LOT of Republicans eager to rub it in all our meanie liberal faces...right? 😕

This is the truth that refutes "conservative" "supply-side" economic dogma in its entirety. All the wealth-creation done by "entrepreneurs" was done in response to consumer demand. Denial of this truth is how we get a parasite class of techbros inflicting garbage on us and calling it "progress."

These are the same people who kept on insisting Terri Schaivo was awake and animated and talking to people right up until she was officially pronounced dead.

Why are none of the #Video #clips playing since this afternoon? There's a "play" button, but it doesn't work.

Decent Christians really need to be talking about this a lot more than they seem to have been so far...

One of the things I hate about people who cry "Stop using Amazon!" is that they never have lists of resources that can replace Amazon. In that spirit, I'm going to list my favorite non-Amazon online book merchants. None of them deliver as quickly, but they are reliable. 🧵 #Booksky

This is why we need to have a Congress who will totally and unequivocally zilch all funding for this war, and never let our country be forced or dragged into a war just because one senile incompetent President started it and says we have to finish it.

The Pope's Exorcist and Grogu

Today's #WaPo has an editorial by one C. Jarrett Dieterle ("legal policy fellow at the #ManhattanInstitute"), titled "Unions are on a comeback. Americans are paying the price." Which sounds like he's trying to imply that #Unions, and #workers who want to form them, aren't American.

Yo, @levelheadedind.bsky.social , ever ask anyone why no one in the Trump camp is suing this guy for defamation?

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Remind me again how many fraudsters, violent insurrectionists and cop-killers Pope Leo pardoned...?

To Hell with the #DNC! Someone needs to remind them that the last high-profile #Democrat who "punted" on #Israel's pernicious influence on US policy LOST an important election. If they don't want to win, lets replace them with people who do. ‪@democrats.org‬ www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

I just saw a "Nightline" episode about the Iranian hostage incident of 1979-81. I find the timing suspicious.

...Beginyahu's choice. “Netanyahu’s agenda has always been to prevent a diplomatic solution, and he feared Trump was actually serious about getting a deal, so the start of this war in the middle of negotiations is a success for him, just like it was last June." www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

I dunno, having Trump as Commander in Chief makes autonomous weapons sound like a good idea, especially if they're built by a "radical left woke company"...could they have them up and running in time to refuse to bomb Iran?

"Part of the reason I made a hard leftwing turn was because I was burned by my own techno-optimism. I am part of a generation that believed it could change the world, and then was taught a harsh lesson about money and power." The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited

John Steed and Emma Peel will return in Avengers: Doomsday.

"Commander at Large?" That's not a real title in any legitimate police or military organization. I guess it's too soon to bring back "Grand Wizard"...

Can we all please stop calling ICE thugs "Federal agents?" A more appropriate label is "FERAL agents."

Clickbait headline: "How Did We Go from Hunting Communists to Electing Open Socialists?" Simple: We now see that unregulated capitalism is wrong, and socialism, or at least social-democracy, is right; and that all that post-WWII anti-communist crusade was never more than a scam. Next question...?

I saw #antiquesroadshow trending, and immediately I thought someone was trying to sell them 5.25" floppy disks and DEC VAX minicomputers. Or maybe a Wang mini for extra laughs...

It's only the fourth day of 2026, and the #Eagles have lost...to the #Commanders?! This is a clear sign that 2026 is gonna be a crazy year. Take nothing for granted, expect the unexpected, and don't let yourselves fall into any too-comfortable ruts or tracks. Business as usual is not an option.

This really puts Donald Trump's "character" in perspective -- not to mention the "character" of everyone else in the family he could have been spending Christmas with. Seriously, where were Uday, Qusay, Ivanka & Jared, Lara, or even Barron? Did any of them even call him?

Here's a nice little antidote to the shlock and product-placement-parading of Thanksgiving: a reminder of the much more "woke" -- and true -- history of the holiday, from George Washington to FDR and the Civil Rights Movement. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
