Because FASCISTS OWN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA!!!
Ex-radio news director and host, erstwhile musician and writer, simply trying to stay afloat and make sense of the world's transmogrification into a fascist hellhole, seeking fellow members of humanity. Sarcasm is a love language, how fluent are you?

Regulatory capture on steroids cocaine, and meth.
"They were born to be criminals." Jesus. Trump is talking about Americans this way. And let's be clear - he's talking about Black and brown people in Blue cities.
"We're gonna do science in a place that's utterly rejected it!" Brilliant idea...
100% accurate.
A long, and quite enlightening, read on the behind-the-scenes machinations to steal the 2020 presidential election.

Damn...
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
Good thing digital drool is easy to clean up.
Proving yet again that education isn't necessary to protect the interests of the wealthy, only the drive to blindly follow orders.
The only ones who do are those who also believe he was railroaded in court for doxxing election workers in Georgia over fake claims of election fraud.
Imbeciles inevitably remove their masks.
All three in one in some cases.
Have never tried Jersey corn, but I urge you to try Olathe sweet corn, which is absolutely sublime.
Its’s been 1 year, 6 months, and 6 days. Please don’t forget Aaron Bushnell Thank you @thiaballerina.bsky.social for ensuring Aaron’s remembered
Well, Guiliani finally has a valid excuse for avoiding court.
Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident. I hope he gets the same expert medical care that he would wish for a disabled transgender immigrant.
Nah, it’s not concerning at all that the President of the United States is decomposing in front of our very eyes and the butcher boy puppet of the tech oligarchs who are already carrying out a coup is sharpening his knives. Totally great, not at all concerning state of affairs.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
The Party of Family Values!
This guy just won the John Prine Songwriter Fellowship, and this proves he's absolutely worth it. Bravo!!!
Just want to thank you for all the cool videos you post, which are excellent palate cleansers to offset the tsunamis of bad news on the political front. You're awesome, never doubt it.
from today’s post, on the cheap thoughts and useless prayers being fobbed off on us by the usual Republican fuckwits, in the wake of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting — thanks for reading it, link is here: bit.ly/4n0luuw
Tesla has identical ethics to its owner.
The glasses helped Ms. "Everybody dies" read the writing on the wall.
The masks are completely off, exposing the naked contempt beneath.
Absolutely despicable. If this country was truly about freedom, there would be people surrounding the complex and hunting the guards.
A whole four listings? Wow, you certainly showed me. 🙄 Now show how many low income housing residents will be able to get loans for $6K, or have that much available to pay. Being realistic isn't anger, it's pragmatism. But by all means, continue being willfully obtuse.
It does, actually. The ACA was touted as a way for millions to finally access insurance, and even with those great tax programs, many people still couldn't afford the premiums. Mandating EV purchases is just more of the same.
Put another way, what if you can't find a Bolt for $6K? What then?
But the option isn't available for all-$6K is a stunningly good deal that few will ever be able to find. This is reminiscent of the debate over the ACA, which was sold as a way for people to afford insurance, yet has turned out to be far too expensive for the targeted demographic to afford.
Excellent, I'm glad for you. Are you also living in low income housing? If not, then you're doing an apples/oranges comparison. Zamafir admitted that $6K doesn't represent the average price of a used EV, which brings it back to the point of how many low income residents can actually afford an EV.
The disconnect of people touting the benefits of EVs to poor people that poor people can rarely afford to buy is distressingly reminiscent of the people selling the ACA to the same group. If people can't afford to buy in in the first place, where's the actual benefit?
People everywhere: people will also never get EVs until they're able to afford them.
No, we're having a conversation that you don't want to have, which is entirely different. Making benefits accessible to as many people as possible isn't perfection, it's pragmatism.
Agreed, but once again, if $6K isn't the average, which you've already admitted it isn't, then touting benefits that few people in affordable housing will ever be able to achieve seems myopically optimistic.
Of course it's transformative, but what good is it when only a minuscule fraction of those people are able to transform?
Fair point, but are those prices representative of the average?
I don't dispute the benefits of the maintenance costs of EVs, and I wasn't aware that they could be acquired at those price points, so thank you for that information. The problem for most people in affordable housing is getting the $ together to buy them in the first place, even at those prices.
Okay, are they also going to force employers and social service agencies to raise wages/benefits to the point that people are able to buy EVs? Otherwise, it will just disproportionately impact poor people and defeat the purpose.
When you say "EVs are required by the state", does that mean people are now mandated to own them, or that infrastructure to support them must be built? I can understand the latter, but the point that most people living in affordable housing likely can't afford EVs seems salient.
Did either of them ask the glaringly obvious question of how many limited income residents she thinks own/drive EVs?
yes, what RFK is doing is *taking advantage of you* when he gloms onto a good idea someone else has (like some kids are overmedicated, the food system is unhealthy etc.) to push his eugenics agenda. Dems who meet him halfway are SUCKERS
anyone hoping that the midterms are the answer is delusional
Well, so much for "Those who want vaccines will still be able to get them."
As Schwarzenegger said to the Predator, "Do eet! DOO EEEET!!!"
Been there, done that, got several T shirts...
Jessica Watkins is a trans woman who was an Oath Keeper militia member convicted for her actions in the January 6 insurrection. Trans people can be led to commit violence by the same dumb, insidious bullshit that leads cis people to commit violence. So maybe calm the fuck down about the MN shooter.
Sadly, two things can simultaneously be true. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
They learned the lessons of MK-ULTRA all too well, it seems.
That is incredible. Kudos, sir-I salute you!
Funny how the big bruise has been on his hand for months but no mark was on his ear days after the PA thingy.
My beef isn't with the concept of machine learning but with the fact it's been entrusted to a cabal of profit-obsessed goblins who have collectively failed every ethics class they ever took and are now piloting our collective future with the moral restraint of a raccoon in a unlocked dumpster.
First, they came for John Bolton. And I did speak out. Because even though I’m not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American horrified by a petty tyrant using our DOJ for revenge.
People are put off Woody Allen by his appearance in Moscow? Wow - it was the pedophelia that put me off him decades ago.
That would just help future fugitives hide.
*thick Mumbai accent* "So what you are saying, sir, is that the wheels are frozen and will not descend, yes?" Pilot: "For the fifth time, YES!!!" "Very well, sir, please to be holding while I escalate this to a Tier III manager..."
Not even ludicrous amounts of money can entice bigots to apply now, not even in Texas. Fantastic!
If you're shot while praying, logic (something completely divorced from prayer, I know) dictates that more prayers will do exactly two things: jack and shit.

What was it MAGA always used to say? Oh yes: "Facts don't care about your feelings." Seems highly applicable here.
@drstaceypatton.bsky.social is straight savage when it comes to Cracker Barrel's food. One of her best lines: "Order the chicken and dumplings if you want to know what Elmer's Glue would taste like if it had separation anxiety." 😄😅😂🤣
Best comment I've seen today: "Cracker Barrel honors its heritage by surrendering."
Truly one of the dumbest and craziest MAGAts in Arizona, and that's saying something. Wadsack truly lives up to every iota of her name's potential. 😅😂🤣
Or, as Patton Oswalt so succinctly put it, "Science: We're all about coulda, not shoulda!"
Donald Trump = Don Quixote
Every accusation a confession.
How does anybody manage to talk with that much spray tanner on their lips?
Leon Muskrat's usual business and legal acumen is on full display here.
Yes, but has he walked in DC lately?
When dictatorship is less objectionable to you than diversity, you're truly dead inside. #MAGA
How long before RFK, Jr. bans it in the US?
We shouldn’t trust a thing that lying sex trafficker says, all so she can get an easier sentence or even a pardon.
The cross in the image answers your question.
No gangster worthy of the title would ever profess to be scared to go to the movies. Snoop Dogg has publicly neutered himself.
Fire with fire, like for like, eye for eye. Taking the high road has taken us over the fascist cliff, and it's long past time to change tactics.
Chatbots are a scourge, and an open threat to the human population.
I was with her until she said Maxwell would be the best source for the files. That's like saying a sewer is the best source for clean water.
If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
Done.

So here comes the trolley, barreling its way to the fork in the tracks. Yes, and here's the switch, and the people on the tracks; five of them in the trolley's current path, one on the alternate track. And then there's you, standing at the only switch. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...
Make Sure Everyone Knows 😊💙 HOLY S**T look at this: Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott just quietly disclosed stock trades a year late – worth $26 MILLION – on companies HE LEGISLATED. 😳 This is corrupt to its core, and he's hoping no one will notice. You know what to do.
Bodily autonomy includes trans rights. Etch this onto your souls. We are each born into a body and other people trying to legislate what you do with it is WRONG. If you can't control your own meat and bones, there is no freedom.
I trust steak tartare from a food truck with no refrigerator in August more than Ghislaine Maxwell
Good. Send them all home in body bags, it's the only thing they understand.
Not just an accolade, but a badge of honor.
lol resistlibs finally putting 2 and 2 together lmao. they’re not “pouring into their ranks”…. They’ve literally always been there. they’re just emboldened to do as they please without consequences now.
