Today is June 9th, and I'm busy swapping out 2024 file folders with 2025 replacements.
Right on time.

This man is a jackass, & if you believe what he says you're a jackass, too.
I'm in LA & things are peaceful here. There have been understandable protests against illegal operations by immigration enforcement that take up all of about 2 blocks of city space.

Ok, I didn't make the cover, but I did get my picture in VOGUE!

Some coverage of our swanky party celebrating Season 3 of "And Just Like That," coming your way May 29th.

It was, shall we say, Fashion Forward.

It really is all going great, as long as you lie and pretend about everything.

That's the bargain, I guess.

“I think we have a deal with Russia,” Trump told reporters at the White House

The “deal” is that Putin gets to murder, kidnap, and steal whoever & whatever he wants.

Who wouldn’t agree?

Remarkable, yet predictable, trajectory.

1 Awful human appointed to post for which he's completely inappropriate
2 MAGA says he's great
3 Every misdeed declared a lie
4 "You'll never drive him out"
5 He'll resign/be fired
6 It was all a lefty witch hunt

Just watch it happen in comments on Twitter

Trump on why he announced a tariffs pause: "I thought people were jumping a bit out of line. They were getting a little bit yipee."

I'm not sure making outrageous threats, then backing off them in the last minute (over and over again), is really the show of strength some people continue to think it is.

But it sure can make people who know what's coming a lot of money really fast...while 100s of millions of others can't.

This is the best guidance I've seen so far.

"The goal should be a day when 2 million people show up in either New York or Washington and demonstrate that there is an unprecedented mass movement opposing the authoritarians running the federal government."

Let this b a lesson 2 all those asinine enuf to publish pieces abt the inevitable "showdown" between Trump & Roberts.
Conservatives on SCOTUS have NO moral bearings & feel NO obligation 2 the constitution they swore 2 uphold.
They r theocratic/corporatist authoritarians.

Welcome to the new USA.

Less services, less assistance, less everything other than anger and bigotry.

And you let me know if/when you have lower taxes to show for it.
As someone who camps at Yosemite a few times every year... this is frustrating. And so pointless.
Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing.

Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Yes, BUT...the courts are influenced (quite a bit) by 200,000 people in the town square.

Bob Dylan being talked about a lot, with the big film being out, and I find myself wondering if he ever misses shopping for his own prescription medications at places like CVS.

Fame can be so isolating.

This is sad.

The answer to this concern is, "Let them do it."

You think the solution is to just hide instead?
As if then everything will eventually somehow be okay?

Accelerate the process.
Let's get on with it.
