Years from now, your kids and grandkids will reply, "yeah, yeah we get it - you remember precisely when late-night comedy TV died and everything went online, and the big TV networks eventually went extinct. Now can I turn the internet chip in my brain back on?"

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write ungrievousness which they have prescribed; To turn aside the needy from the judgement, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and they may rob the fatherless!

A wonderful story. Still, I can't imagine something like this happening under the US government that Trump/Musk envision: a government that doesn't care about the people that elected it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

Visiting Santa Monica, I met some California National Guard troops in a local store. They're helping local Law Enforcement Agencies to protect fire zone perimeters. They were from NorCal, like me, but had spent four weeks in Pacific Palisades. They didn't expect to be here so long.

When will Vivek Ramaswamy (and JD Vance for that matter) realize that a significant percentage of their GOP "base" are racist wrt south Asian Americans, no matter how smart or successful? In fact even more resentful, since they're not White?

Trump vilified tech giants. Now they’re giving him millions.
After years in which Trump called them enemies of the people, Silicon Valley executives are hoping $1 million gifts and Mar-a-Lago dinners will mend bridges with the president-elect.

Why the Greenland-Mexico-Canada kerfuffle? Here's your reason. Unelected private citizens are looking for ways to stifle government agencies, eliminate regulatory enforcement, and extract more cash from government coffers. And they want you to not care. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It's not that I don't like cranberries. It's just that compared to everything else on the table it's the easiest to leave off the plate. On most other days, I'll gladly eat them. Would I pass up a second helping of stuffing for cranberries? No way. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
