The next Democratic government is going to have to set up a truth and reconciliation commission, and advance legislation, possibly including constitutional amendments, to fundamentally reform all three branches of government, if we're going to even start digging our way out of this

Teslas set on fire and shot at in Las Vegas with the word “ Resist " painted on the door to the building.
It’s going to become impossible for anyone to own one of these cars… Oh dear how sad.
Don’t worry, this isn’t actually vandalism. It’s just a Roman paint job.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

Good. Companies should be thinking very hard about whether they want to continue to have a presence on the Nazi app.

RIP David Lynch. I saw Eraserhead on Channel 4 aged 16, a life-changing experience. Twin Peaks is still way beyond 99% of the rest of American television. Mullholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway... oh, all of it. And give me his batshit crazy Dune any day. We've lost a true genius. I'm crushed.
