i'm an "all motivations at once" kinda guy. not "they're malicious, not incompetent" or "they're incompetent, not malicious". instead: they are malicious AND incompetent, but also? they're lazy.
sure, they'll take kickbacks. but they don't want to work hard to get them either.

You know, that "Shaving Cream" song works better if you replace the entire chorus with just the word "shit".

"If you desire". Yeah, right.
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."

Did anyone else catch that the senate was about to pass a bill that would give anti-doxxing protections to every American and that was blocked so instead they passed a bill to give only themselves anti-doxxing protections???

First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then your horse gets stuck in a swamp and dies.
Then a luck dragon rescues you.
Then you give a name to an empress.
Then you get to ride the luck dragon and give the bullies a good scare.
Then you win.

Legal settlements should be funded by police retirement funds, not the public (the public did nothing wrong).
New York City has spent more than half a billion dollars in recent years settling lawsuits against the NYPD. A new report from the Comptroller's office finds excessive force complaints are concentrated in Black and Latine neighborhoods:

The institutional Democratic Party is basically a vehicle for rich donors to make sure that when public backlash to terrible Republican policies causes Republicans to lose, the opposition does as little damage to rich people’s interests as possible and cedes power back as quickly as possible

In honor of Giorgio Armani, here is an old tweet of mine.

Alf: Hey, think how much I just saved you on dry cleaning!

Until we have an actual, positive counter programming movement of equal scale, we're going to keep having these same fucking problems. Men with privilege but without positive purpose and direction are the most destructive force in modern society outside billionaires (who are also mostly those men)

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.
