At first I thought this read, “Security BY Jesus” which I assumed was a company owned by a guy named Jesus. But it actually reads “Security IN Jesus” which seems like something else entirely. Apparently He has a phone number.

The latest MP episode mentions briefly that infomercials began because Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine - that required equal time for opposing viewpoints (imperfectly but still) - and also dictated commercials couldn't be longer than two minutes and man we're still dealing with the fallout.

Amanda Marcotte on the hard truth that it's not just "low-information" voters but voters who get all their "information" from lie-filled memes and friends and family (who get their information from lie-filled memes). www.salon.com/2024/11/08/a...

I’m no political strategist but what about a social media campaign along the lines of, “This guy. You wanna see him pay, right? At least so he shuts the fuck up, right? There’s only one way that happens. Vote accordingly.”

I’m spending a week in Sicily and besides being temperate, charming and beautiful, it’s an interesting study in a location that’s been colonized by everybody and just hunkered down and found ways to develop and promote the elements of other cultures that spoke to them. Colonialism bad but .. olives?

As a gay man three years older than Walz, I really love this about him. These clubs were unthinkable when we were in school and would have meant a lot to me (even if I wouldn’t have had the courage or latitude to join).
