$8 mil accounting error found "It took some more tooth-pulling (and several terse answers from Towey) for Rinck to get a somewhat clarifying explanation. Basically the money looked like it was missing because of a one-time “transactional entry error in our financial accounting system,” Towey said."

I certainly hope and expect that any mainstream press who jump on this story after I broke it two weeks ago on Bluesky, then wrote about iti again on PubliCola yesterday, will credit PubliCola's reporting, in which I also noted that I found it odd that no other media picked up on this.

Has anyone reported on why the Trump channel was set up on YouTube instead of Rumble? I can guess, but it seems like an obvious question that could trigger an interesting response.

Psst. A vote for a Republican is a vote for Trump. Pass it on.

They are not sending their best

Feds say GOP candidate Thomas Ross schemed for weeks to plant cocaine and Adderall on primary rival Louise Secker to sink her campaign. Ross, won the nomination by 32 votes last month, was charged Wednesday with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. missouriindependent.com/2026/09/03/m...

Has Darline Lettie Graham Nordone changed her name or is she using Darline Graham as a political stage name? Maybe she's an early adopter of requiring the name on her birth certificate for government purposes.

Kind of inverting the plot of Murder She Wrote. True crime producer produces a true crime. Heres a non paywalled USA Today article from December. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

I shopped at Costco around Seattle today. Walked into the produce section with all the bagged salads, proudly labeled Taylor Farms. I wonder how well they are selling? Of course the ones I see don't have Iceberg lettuce. Either romaine or cabbage.

I thought it was s really morbid workplace "humor" that had people "write the euthanasia cards at work". It took me a minute to figure out that they meant they do pet euthansia.

My best friend had to be hospitalized yesterday because she thought she was having heart problems. Turned out she has gallstones and needs her gallbladder removed. I write the euthanasia cards at work and we’re a fucked up group, and so an idea was born.

They had already found a higher recidivism rate for this group than other convicts. I wonder if there's a similar study for others that have been pardoned. Does the pardon incentivise future crime?

I can tell you from experience that of people actually read and shared stories about Trump and crypto, more people would know. The stories are written. And ignored.

For perspective, the Jefferson Memorial statue is 19 feet tall and the Lincoln Memorial statue is 30 feet tall. The statue on top of the Arc de Trump alone will be 60 feet tall!

This old quote from Balloon Juice is getting paraphrased for a new audience.

This is the conservative pitch to most Americans: Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.

Long ago in the Jack In The Box e.coli outbreak I recall some wag claimed it had a new motto of "eat shit and die". I looks like RAW FARM may have dusted that off and proudly claimed it for itself.

Deborah Blum@deborahb.bsky.social

The FDA has asked Raw Farm to recall the cheddar cheese linked to the outbreak and "it has declined." But E.coli 0157 H7 is a very pathogenic bacteria. So buyer be aware and beware here. 1/3

With all the horrors around us, talking up a book seems...weird. But I have a book coming and it is, I believe, an important one—one hope help persuade the vaccine hesitant (those who've heard the noise but aren't yet consumed by anti-vax BS). Anyway, here's the latest iteration of the US cover:
