Happy New Year. I don't give a shit about the 250th anniversary of the US this year but I'm glad 1930 works that fucking Nazis banned are now public domain. Please enjoy Betty Boop, The Blue Angel with antifa icon Marlene Dietrich, Nancy Drew's first books, Miss Marple's first novel.

This is overriding a ballot initiative approved by voters.
BREAKING: The Nebraska Legislature has approved a bill lowering Nebraska’s minimum wage from $15 an hour to $13.50 for young workers, and slowing down minimum wage increases for others.

🚨🚨🚨 FUCK NO.
Another new provision prohibits the use of any photo ID cards 'provided by an educational institution.'

Valid ID's to vote would include state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards, US passport, military ID, and tribal ID - but nothing from colleges or universities. 3/

Just a quieter version of what Thiel did to Gawker. Bezos purposefully bought the Post to destroy it and he’s not going to let anyone revive it.

It’s worth more to him dead than alive.
Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal.

in religious "honor cultures" such as US red states, Afghanistan, Saudi, etc, being a "civic-minded citizen" means maintaining a rigid hierarchy; slurs, racist jokes, etc are often part of the arsenal maintaining that hierarchy

The gutting of the Washington Post was not inevitable. Billionaires did it, on purpose.

The opinion section -- Bezos's megaphone for right-wing, billionaire-friendly agitprop -- is doing just fine.
Jeff Bezos Gutted the Newsroom. He Kept the Megaphone.
Bezos didn’t abandon the Washington Post. He just decided which part of it he wanted.

Sad and utterly tragic.
Yes, I know they hurt themselves with performing at the Trump Mark 1 inauguration, but you're lying if you didn't burn the crap out of "Kryptonite", "Here Without You", and "When I'm Gone" in your Teen years.

You can spin those early hits.
It's not hard to do.
Brad Arnold's voice is one that triggers a generation of memories moment you hear it and at the end of the day, that's the goal for any band and lead frontman.
#RIP to an early 2000s legend who died way too soon.
Politics don't matter.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.
