It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

I know it's very boring to recount dreams but last night I had one where I couldn't remember Johnny Vegas' name in a meeting so called him "Beefy Pat"

It sounds like the most deranged Latin American caricature of yankee imperialism come to life. It would be comical if it weren’t serious.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

After just over 25 hours of non-stop playing, @thehornesection.bsky.social and I finished the #howlongathon live on Channel 4 last night! Thanks to everyone who supported in person and online, all the guests who came down to join in, and to everyone who donated.

I block any account posting AI generated images, even if they are of Trump. I don't want to see that shit.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

My shelves are overflowing with books. My closet can't fit any more clothes, most of which I haven't worn in years. My attic is filled to the brim.

All of the Black Friday shopping deals remind me that I'm drowning in stuff. Are you?
Do we really need more stuff?

Thoroughbred horses, auto racing, massive ranches, luxury hotels.

The hobbies and side businesses of the ultrawealthy create huge write-offs that can let them get away with paying little or no income tax for as much as a decade at a time.

do you think people in the 1920s had that whole "oh my god can you believe 50 years ago was 1870 not 1850" thing (or were they just too worried about the War/Great Depression to care)

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..
