I see that the movie,"Nuremberg" opens this weekend. What are the chances of MAGAs currently starving children around the world, blowing innocent fishermen out of the water, beating and torturing POC,etc, WILL SEE ANY CONNECTION to what they are doing?

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

If there is a hell, I wonder if some people get an express bus straight there? No St. Peter interview, bam, straight to hell, working full time on a ball room for some big shot expected soon. I can only hope. Not because of any news today of course.

I am in some state of shock I can't describe, but how is it possible that the USA tripartite system with all the checks and balances, working for over 200 years, fell apart like a house of cards THE FIRST TIME it was seriously attacked, and from WITHIN the Country (albeit with outside help)???

Yikes! Is there a large pump and dump under way in the AI market? Just watched a news story about 'circular financing' among AI Corps and how in hell is that kosher?

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act.
Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

It is difficult to understand how ordinary Americans are turning in co-workers, friends, strangers, to ICE. It takes a special kind of bastard to do it. In an earlier time they would have ratted out Anne Frank to the Nazis, because, after all, the law said they must. I do hope there is a hell.

I have been watching the excellent Ken Burns series on Prohibition. Canada supplied a lot of booze for thirsty Americans, and I was thinking we may have to do the same with vaccines. Never in my wildest dreams...

In case anyone was wondering if Putin still owned Trump, wonder no more. I suspect that the minute he was alone with the orange felon, he showed him a few videos and pictures, just to remind him who's daddy.

Son: Are we better off now?
Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time.
Son: What's that?
Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.
