9/11 is a great day to reread my viral Seinfeld spec and to remember I’m one of the most talented TV writers available to write for your show. I have $225k in student loans and my family is about to pay OOP for my dad’s post-stroke rehab, so you’d better believe I’m gonna give you my best!

Alan Greenspan was a hack ideologue who did unspeakable damage to the economy and who created much of the terrible inequality of the New Gilded Age we face today. He also may have had sex with Ayn Rand. Good riddance to bad rubbish. My obituary is here. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/06/rare...

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

Our village is dying. The Plex server is at capacity and its spinning drives are failing. There is hope, however. The discs speak of something called a "WD Elements" drive. It is said that people in the past used to shuck like oysters, and that it can bring life to a server. This is your quest.
