The business partnership between the National Basketball Association and the Emirati royals funding this genocide is a bad business. Gambling scandals aren’t enough, Adam Silver? Is there no business partnership beyond the pale?

Airplane landings being my least favorite thing, I wish to thank the pilot who touched us down last week so softly it was as if the asphalt was a just-slightly denser ensemble of atoms than the air stuff that makes your coffee tremble at 35,000 feet.

Story says: “In its handling of food stamps, the Trump administration laid bare the philosophy of the president’s second term.”
Which is the same ‘philosophy” as in the 1st term: to lie, deceive, reneg, and do whatevertheHELLhewants. Until we stop him.

School cell phone bans, according to WNYC listener-teacher, “have made the lunchroom noisy again.” Though I heartily favor this in principle, school lunchrooms were social abattoirs for the awkward ones, in my memory. I hope someone’s watching out for those kids.

Tearing down the East Wing in broad daylight is Trump’s way of saying I can do anything I want, including pillaging and raping your country. It’s his way of saying, ‘do you feel humiliated and powerless yet?’ This won’t stop until he’s stopped.

This pretty much summarizes the make America great again strategy: we (the super rich) use your (everyone else’s) tax money to make more money for us. If our self-dealing transactions with public assets go bad, you eat the losses.

Not enough demographics here to back this up, but my gut says the Democrats are suffering from white flight. Like NYC in the 60s and 70s, the Democratic Party is dealing w/ infrastructure collapse, a bankruptcy of ideas and —same old same old — white backlash .
