The Pentagon has decided that Swastikas and nooses are cool now, and no longer considered symbols of hate. So if you're Jewish or black, and bunking with Nazis, well you'll just have to be OK with that because Nazis aren't bad anymore and bigotry is acceptable.

Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

If you told someone that Trump called a woman “piggy”, and their first reaction was to ask if she was overweight, this is your sign to cut ties with them.

Just another reason to demand universal basic income. No one should have to live in a constant state of anxiety about their job, nor should anyone without a job suffer poverty as punishment.
I wrote about the stomach clenching reality of work now -- where rolling layoffs are the norm and no one feels secure in their job. Happy Monday! www.axios.com/2025/11/16/r...
It's a rolling layoff world
These silent layoffs are now just a part of doing business.

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....
OMFG-ex DOJ official (& now federal judge) Emil Bove was involved in the administration's plots to murder individuals via lethal strikes
"At a DOJ conference ... Bove told drug prosecutors the ... administration wasn't interested in interdicting ... Instead... the U.S. should "just sink the boats."

One thing about universal basic income is that if a population of 340 million people get it, it's not one program but 340 million programs, and all with extremely low practically zero administrative overhead.
This is also why cash should be seen as a vital component of universal basic services.

If I were ever considered a writer, I'd rather write crap myself that makes people retch than get a huge audience / payday with any assistance from "AI". And I haven't used any LLM tools for anything as of yet. So, if that's a reason why I'm poor and my work unread, at least I can live with myself.
