Just another old white guy, but not THAT kind of old white guy. Woodstock survivor. Software developer since the late 70s, still at it today. Worried for my kids about climate--and now about the survival of democracy in the US.
Has no one noticed that the rightists who spoke against the Kimmel suspension did so not because it was inherently wrong and un-American but because they were afraid that the Democrats would eventually use it against them?
Even when they reach the right conclusion, it's for the wrong reason.

Good to know that 1944 takes place after 1923. I wasn't sure. They don't say how long after, though.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks Trump "lost" the ridiculous Putin summit. Yes, he looked weak and feckless, but in my view the summit itself wasn't important. The real purpose was to stop everyone from talking about Epstein, and in that regard he was wildly successful.

Why has no one released "I Threw the Sandwich," set to the tune of "I Shot the Sheriff"?
Come on, people.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social - Thank you thank you THANK YOU for mentioning "improper ideology" today on MSNBC. No phrase more chilling than that has appeared in any of the executive orders, but I hadn't heard a word about it in the media until today.

What the actual FUCK? This EO instructs agencies to sunset virtually all energy-related regulations going back to the 1930s. That will inevitably scoop up tons of environmental regulations as well.
I have not seen a single word about this in the media.

The stated purpose of Trump's EO regarding the Smithsonian is "to remove improper ideology."

What the actual FUCK? Has a more Orwellian phrase ever been used by the US government?
When did it become the government's province to determine what is and is not proper ideology?
