When the facts are hidden behind paywalls but the lies are algorithmically boosted because they light up the reptilian hindbrain, democracy doesn't stand much of a chance.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

My father used to say, "The purpose of language is not to make yourself understood, but to make yourself incapable of being misunderstood."
Looking back on this, I have to wonder about what other impossible standards he set for me.

I saw someone post this question: "What does your dog dream about?"
I'll be damned if I know: they never talk about their dreams.
But after a bit of reflection, I figure they probably have that dream where they're out in public and suddenly realize that they're totally naked.

The modern GOP is the revival of the old Know Nothing Party.
And once again it works for Mike Johnson. He gets asked about Trump’s pardon of his crypto fraud guy yesterday after Trump’s 60 Minutes interview, he said he doesn’t know about it, then he DOESN’T GET ASKED a single question about it today in his press conference. bsky.app/profile/ronf...
The reason why Republicans get away with saying “I don’t anything about that” is because they usually aren’t asked about the topic again the following day or a few days later. Media has already moved on to the next illegality or abuse, and the cycle continues.

Dick Cheney, dead at 84.
I can remember when Dick Cheney was the standard for evil, but even he became alarmed by the growing malignancy of the forces he did so very much to unleash.
It was too little, too late to either redeem him, or to save us.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
