I signed up for the Disney + Hulu + HBO $17/month deal when they announced Kimmel is back. Then they sent an email saying they're increasing the fee next month. So I cancelled again.

I think the philosophy at the heart of the cult is that they want old fashioned, loud-and-proud American triumphalism back. Donny Wee Hands is the epitome of that; that's why he resonates with so many, even with people he detests.

It's time for moral clarity. Nothing this regime does will change what I say or do. I might get put on a list, sacked, arrested: if that's the price to pay for freedom and decency then so be it. I can only hold myself accountable and that's what I will do.

Forget the implementation details for now. Assume a good enough system is found. What would be the upside and downside of these virtual postage stamps?

I have utmost respect for Stephen Colbert and his unwavering moral clarity. I don't care about the Late Show being cancelled. Stephen will continue to thrive while CBS just set light to its flagship. I look forward to his next adventure.

I get the feeling the Epstein List is a metaphor for many MAGA folk who are unhappy with the President for many reasons. It's a graceful / righteous way out of the unholy pact with him and his disastrous actions.
