New in PN: Retire in peace
"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
Yesterday, I flew out of OβHare, and because of a mechanical problem, the flight was delayed six hours. American Airlines was kind enough to comp us with $12 in airport credit for dinner. And that bought almost a whole panini.
Elon Musk wants autonomous cars because heβs a terrible driver.
He wants robots because he has no friends.
He wants AI because heβs not creative or smart.
He wants to go to Mars because he hates planet Earth.
He wants to end Democracy because heβs a fascist money hoarder.
Heβs pathetic.
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
The governor of Florida and his wife stole ten million dollars from a charity, but CNN would rather spend another week on blatant Islamophobic character assassination of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, because they work for MAGA billionaires.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
A lot of truth in this new cartoon from Nova Scotia's Bruce MacKinnon. BTW, King Dumbass is claiming (as usual, with no evidence) that Dolly Parton was a "huge fan" of him. Yeah, right.
Fossil fuel demand is still growing β but solar and wind are growing faster.
EVs are surging as oil prices spike.
The transition is happening. The question is whether we accelerate it fast enough to avoid the worst.
Speed matters.

School nurse: "If you fill out this twenty-page form and have it signed by a pediatrician and notarized with three witnesses, I can give your child a Tylenol when they have a headache."
Republicans: "Schools are secretly turning children trans."
Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor
when we began steel magnolias rehearsals οΏΌ
i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours?
Dolly - no idea, iβm never there when they do it!οΏΌ
i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that
Here me out:
What if all this has actually been Putin's long game?
- Help Trump get elected
-Have him destroy relationships with allies
-Have him tank the US economy and put the country so far in debt that there's no way out of the sinkhole
-Deplete America's oil reserves
1/2
-Deplete Americas munitions stockpile
-Divide the American citizens so no one knows what's fact
Leaves us pretty vulnerable should Putin decide to expand his war beyond Ukraine.
They are, to the last, inept, catty, and cruel.
I think itβs very telling that the administration has not pushed back on the book at all. Thereβs not been a peep, and that scares the hell out of me.
Trump takes a break from fear-mongering about communism to brag about seizing the means of production: "We had a problem with Intel. And we settled the problem. They gave us 10% of the company. That was worth $12 billion."
