Oh, please, stop with drivel about American media should be a watchdog for truth, justice and democracy. It's the F-troop of journalism. It's fallen hard for overt and covert US government actions in Iran (going back to the 50s), Cuba (several times), Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Granada, Panama

Oh, let us forgive Senator Mike Lee's youthful indiscretion. His is but 54 years old. He's been in the Senate for a scant 15 years and is finding his way. Before that he struggled in menial jobs as a clerk - twice to Samuel Alito - so his moral compass may need calibration. He's also suffered...

I don't think Musk needs a GoFundMe to start on his path to Mars. What's holding him back? How can we encourage him?

There's a word I want to call Musk. My 90 year old mother says it would be an insult to human anatomy.

I wish they made anchovy flavored toothpaste. Because then when someone says "There's one more slice of pizza if anyone wants it" you could say "Great! I just brushed my teeth!"

Last week I:

1) Reported some obvious bots
2) Posted the bon-est of mots
3) Encouraged those who resisted
4) Blocked some idiots who persisted
5) Went to Costco where I bought lots.

I think it would be much easier for older people to understand the staggering scope of investment and failure for the Metaverse if Zuckerberg had just named one of his kids Edsel.

I literally reported this Wednesday.

NYTimes Wirecutter explains it like I'm dumb

"Unlike electric and gas heaters, which must create heat to warm the water, heat pump water heaters simply take the heat particles that already exist in the air and move them into the water."

I just need to keep a jar of heat particles handy.

I bet it is either accompanied by or quickly followed by announcing the closures of many or all bases in Europe.
This will be deeply, deeply destructive and destabilizing.
New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.
February 20, 2025 at 1:16 AM
So how quickly is Hegseth going to close US bases in Europe?

I think the Red Dawn movie premise had some of the major factors wrong.

I recall when mother and fathers often decided to take separate flights to the same destination. Ya know, just in case.

Will flight insurance kiosks return to airport concourses?

Are we going to be that great again?

3 point trend
1) Read an article about today's FAA firings
2) Pause to wonder if I should rent a car for a Winter drive from NY to WA rather than fly tomorrow. While weighing risks of options,
3) Waze sends me an unprompted notification that takes me to a recommended route and drive time estimate

People here complaining about generic "Democrat electeds" falling silent, doing nothing, or sharing hand wringing worries that lag the news.

Please name them and grade their work in public. They are supposed to work for us.

Is it a good Trump/Musk/RFK trade to go long on casket makers, floral supplies, and funeral homes or does this move too swiftly to mass graves?

Hey, everybody! Time to bone up on how your health really works. The secret is in the balance or imbalance of the four humors -- blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile.

People thrived on this for a couple thousand years. If you have more nuanced views than this, you're just making stuff up.
