Now more than ever
This is likely the greatest day in my mediocre posting career and once the full flush of it wears off, I think I will wrap it up, at least for the summer.

Years ago, I asked my parents for a pasta machine. I meant an Atlas pasta maker—the thing you crank dough through and then cut to length. They got me a tricked-out "automatic" pasta maker where you pour the flour, egg, and water in the top and it mixes and extrudes it. It does both of those badly >

I watched Peter Watkins's Evening Land last night. It's great, and I tried to get at why in a thread.
Finally got enough of the Danish autotranslated to make my way through. Watkins can handle the cops-and-kidnappers pulses effortlessly, but that timeline exists against a stymied, gummy political temporality that seems inevitably bent toward stasis and then rightist reaction.

One of JD Vance's few deeply held beliefs is that payday loansharks are good. It has long separated his vicious politics from the savvier populism of his rightwing peers.
The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.
It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders.

Husted is a Southwest Ohio guy, like Vance, like me. I am too old to be shocked by the fact that we live surrounded by ghouls like this, and yet I am.
Anyway, vote Sherrod Brown.

Goodbye to this version of @tomscocca.bsky.social and @joemacleod666.bsky.social's Indignity. Tom is heading to CNN to work alongside @choire.bsky.social. I will really miss it. But it is nice to see a little flash of Choire in the announcement. Gang back together, etc., etc.

We go live to Dershowitz's Escherian attic office. He is ranting into cloudy Logitech 4K webcam. He reaches up, his hand grabbing an old-timey WC pullchain, and yanks. A cascade of pierogi descend. It is endless. Like Ivan the Terrible bathed in gold or W.J. Hammond buried in wheat, he drowns. FIN
