#EdTech professional. Topics I care about: politics (on your left), books (crime, SF, horror, lit), TV, wrestling (AEW, CMLL, fuck WWE), tech, probably other stuff. 3 cats, 1 dog. Dog is smaller than any of the cats. Also, fuck ICE

It's ridiculous for people to suggest that Taibbi and Greenwald are puppets to billionaires. That's like suggesting water is wet.
For a supposed “free speech champion”, Matt Taibbi sure does file some whiny-ass lawsuits.
This is from *page one* of the complaint:

Okay, but why is Toni saying she's from England?
To celebrate the new AEW Bacon Brawl Combo, White Castle actually let our wrestlers take over a store 🤣

#AEW World's End buy-in thought: Hyan and Maya should absolutely go over the Sisters of Sin. Skye's only worthwhile in hardcore matches, and Julia's spinning her wheels. Give the newbies their graphic, let Thekla finally get fed up with the rest of the Triangle, etc.

Holy shit is this a level of bad I didn't expect. Really, really fucking hope she's not back for the final season of Hacks -- she was entertaining before I knew anything about her, but fuck this shit.
My natural inclination is to give any queer comic a chance. So, I set about streaming Hoffman’s latest Netflix comedy special “Wake Up” in that spirit. From her opening salvo, however, I began having doubts.

What Can Robby Hoffman Possibly Know About Being a Bisexual Man?
A new Netflix comedy special perpetuates bigotry and bias within the LGBTQ+ community.

My opposition to incarceration is being tested by ICE gang members, every one of whom (with no exceptions) is utter fucking scum, and should have to make full restitution for the damage they've done.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Not mentioned (either at the IA or at Duke's annual Public Domain Day post) but worth tracking down: Gwen Bristow and Bruce Manning's novel "The Invisible Guest," a very likely inspiration for Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None."
When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, creative works from 1930 & sound recordings from 1925 will enter the public domain in the US, like:
💄 Dizzy Dishes, first Betty Boop cartoon
🕵️♀️ First 4 Nancy Drew novels
🚂 The Little Engine That Could
🎩 Morocco
🍑 Georgia on My Mind
and many more!

There are only two offenses the Constitution goes out of its way to specifically say merit impeachment, and this is one of them.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon
Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

Seeing as it's been two years since the adaptation was announced with no new news, I'm assuming the Chronicles of Amber series is dead, so that's my choice.
OK, less contentious post:
You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?
For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second
