Our planet is buried in convenient shit. Bad but easy food. Bad but easy art. Bad but easy narratives, followed by bad but easy conclusions. Prioritizing convenience disincentivizes the slow work of contemplation. Perhaps, even, of questioning. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/cheap-fast...
Cheap, Fast, and Easy

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

don’t understand why Jim Jordan is so afraid to let Jack Smith testify in public before his committee. He supposedly WEAPONIZED the federal govt against Donald J. Trump and his allies. Why won’t they bring that scoundrel who abused his power before the American people?!?

The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country.
Yes, I said TOURISTS — not immigrants. This is insane. It will DECIMATE the U.S. tourism industry.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

Trump loves the Village People because they're just like him.
They're both tacky as hell.
They're both a universal punchline.
They're both operating at one sixth of the original capacity they had in the late 1970s.

White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it.
Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men.
