First, kill the comedians.

The pro-birth movements in various countries (including the U.S.) bring into sharp relief the contradiction between capitalism and human survival. The planet clearly needs fewer people, not more, but capitalism relies on perpetually increasing population to generate perpetually increasing profit.

Meanwhile, John Roberts is merrily enabling fascism in his efforts to avoid a “constitutional crisis.” Uh, John, a President who sets himself above the law IS a constitutional crisis.

Here in Wisconsin we’re having the most expensive State Supreme Court election ever. Is getting 27 glossy mailings really that much more persuasive than, say, getting 10 glossy mailings? Ditto TV and online ads, radio spots, etc. There must be diminishing returns…

Senate Democrats kind of have to allow the Republicans’ continuing resolution to pass so Trump can’t blame the failures of his economic incompetence on a government shutdown.

This is where it gets very scary: someone whose only offense is organizing protests against Israel's actions in Gaza gets seized as an "antisemitic" terrorist. Jewish Voices for Peace is among those protesting the detention. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Probably shouldn’t put two TV celebrities in front of a camera together.

I’m no expert on business management, but it would seem to me that before a boss fired an employee, they might want to know what job that employee was doing.

Great idea. We can bring 2 million Palestinians to the U.S. to replace 2 million of the essential workers we deport!
