Question: what mid-to-high-level corrupt official/mobster actually takes a freakin envelope and/or sack of money as a bribe in the '20s, let alone from an undercover cop?

I do enjoy a McMuffin or McDonald's French fry from time to time, but "Gold Sauce" feels about as tacky as the paint on the Oval Office walls in 2025.

Last year, hardly any bees to be found in our garden, the fruit trees, or even in the field of wildflowers behind us. This year, you can't walk the property without disturbing a few. Might sound awful to some, but I'd argue it's awfully good to see them again.

Stolen from the Reddit front page yesterday. Karl Popper's "The Open Society and its Enemies" might feel some boring academic work, but its ideas are at the core of nearly every democratic, liberal nation-state on Earth, and Popper, who wrote it in the wake of WWII, knew its enemies all too well.

I've been told I should post non-political stuff once in a while, so fine. We went to The Wildwoods late August, and as usual, it was wonderful to see family and take in The Shore a bit. Beach, boardwalk, birding, fishing, lots of great food and beer, plus the little one had a blast (as seen here).

POV: you're leaving your rich neighbor's all-show-no-substance dinner party, but their petulant 6-year-old has to show you every toy he has in his third play room.

Yes, but you see, we can't tell the masked, badge-less agents that violently violate due process and habeas corpus apart from the masked, badge-less alt-right agitators/militias that violently violate due process and habeas corpus.
Whey yes, I'm familiar with Venn diagrams.
Oh. Yes, the overlap.

Nothing says "Russian asset" like asserting that Ukraine/Obama started this war, or that there can be no peace if Ukraine joins NATO. Our "president" can, once again, fuck right the fuck off. #slavaukraini 🇺🇦

Happy Canada Day to family and friends north of The Wall. If the harvest was bountiful this year, please send poutine (extra gravy/curds). Also: universal health care and a multi-party political system. Oh, and a head of state sans sociopathy, dementia, felonies, and rape liability. #onguardforthee

Dude that wrote this has the same problem I have when I try to do mango-infused POTUS parodies: it's too damned coherent. Sure, an attempt was made to mimic style and the grade 3 reading level, but...complete sentences? Correct spelling? AND: they used conditional caps. IT SHOULD ALL BE IN CAPS. smh

As a friend observed: "Also, the rape."
I'll also add: Making millions on crypto scams, on our time, using the Emoluments Clause as an adult diaper.

Bruh, grow a pair and a fucking backbone and call a spade a damned spade. Even the NYT did that this time. Enablers to tyranny. Christ.

The Jewish state approves a "Final Solution" to the "Palestinian Problem", while a nation that held the Reich accountable now rejects the Rule of Law and consolidates Executive power. It's like we're living the Mirror Universe, except there doesn't seem to be a Spock redemption arc on the horizon.

160 years ago today, an army that fought for possibly the worst cause in American history - to keep an entire race of human beings in chains - perished from the Earth. Happy "Confederacy Get Fucked Day" to the free people of this nation, and to those who continue to fight against the remnant.

Way to whitewash the headline NBC. I imagine their 1939 version reading something like, "Hitler's Reich Chancellery has asked the Wehrmacht to develop options for the Western half of Poland, officials say"

Vice president Vance should be made to feel uncomfortable wherever he goes. Like the trans folks he likes to deride. Or like any American traveling abroad now, thanks to his alpha male-affirming behavior in the Oval Office.
