Fentanyl, AI, and Epstein. Three biggest poisons of the 21st century for America.

I bet the Epstein files will be released soon. King of England had the chance to do an early justice correction on his scumbag brother. Congress will move next to release them finally -- and we will think no evil of King Charles by then.

I'm a democrat. I'm 100% okay with nobody quoting Biden or Harris or asking them for stuff from here on out. Not mad at them so much as thinking they just aren't relevant anymore. Oxygen needed for others.

Geez, what would Mr President do if something like 9/11 happened on his watch?

I really hate Trump -- he is corrupt -- openly corrupt. A $20 b bribe to turn the election in Argentina. “If he wins, we’re staying with him,” Trump said. “And if he doesn’t win, we’re gone.”

I was going to complain about Trump at the UN but instead I want to celebrate a wonderful thing a real human (who also happens to be rich) did

If JD and Steven Miller want vengeance, why don’t they just go after the part of Utah that spawned the killer? Who’s the problem here?

I highly recommend Netflix's THE HOT SPOT. One of the best Japanese tv series I've seen in a while (well, since the equally awesome EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE). THE HOT SPOT is kinda sorta about X-files stuff, but it's 100% family-friendly and no sex & violence, no weird scary stuff. Very funny show

Perfectly sums up the empty and lazy cynicism of his regime and Trump's.

Public health scholars will have to say Trump’s 2 administrations have been the worst for Americans ever. Only needless deaths will come from this stupid move—and, it’s Red State people that will suffer the most. The GOP lives to kill its own

Satomi Newsom and I published our translation of Kentaro Takekuma-sensei's chapter today from MANGA NO YOMIKATA on TCJ. I think it looks awesome! Great discussion of how drawing tools really matter.
