no it’s antifa

I mean, it’s not like the book has been around for decades, they might have had an idea back in 2017 what scenes they wanted, and could have just shot a bunch of them.

Worth noting: both the monorail and the Boring Company thing are great examples of a Gadgetbahn, a phenomenon not entirely unique to America (but mostly), in which we desperately try to build what amounts to a subway, except, like, not a subway. What we get instead is almost inevitably worse in multiple ways. Here’s a…

y’all, I know this isn’t the place, but Lizzo dropped another video and it is a delight:

WTF, you’re not even going to mention that Jeffrey Epstein’s NYC mansion — the front door of which police were recently seen crowbarring open, and which contained a safe full of CDs with names on them — was provided to him by Leslie Wexler, the CEO of Vickie’s parent company? That L Brands (said parent company) has a…

Mars is the test-bed. Venus is the prize.

“The uploader has not made this video available in your country.”

Maybe as part of this effort to combat lies and dissembling from That Asshole and his bootlicking fascist toadies, we can stop using “climate change,” a term pushed into GOP talking points during the Bush Administration by bullshit-feeder extraordinaire Frank Luntz.

I’m always a fan of repeating that old saying, that democracy is the theory that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Or just the idea that “your own” is necessarily locked into a zero-sum game with “those other people.” 

Oh man, I forgot how much I loved Jessica Williams.

And guess who else is served by this DEMS IN DISARRAY horseshit? I might have doubts about some of Pelosi’s positions, but she’s the most powerful Dem in the country right now, and I trust that she knows what she’s doing. The choice in 2020 is not going to be between her and Justice Dems. It’s going to be between her…

right? WTF is this horseshit? Oh, McGrath is a moderate Democrat? The horror! Since when is opposing the elimination of private insurance “kinda shitty”? A decade ago Medicare-for-all and no private insurance wasn’t even the median Democrat position, and now a moderate Dem with a military background running in fucking…

I went back and read the plot synopsis, and it was amazingly dopey. “They have to take anti-libido drugs, but they get caught up in romantic entanglements anyway! How will they manage to complete their mission with all these love triangles?? Who will she choose???”

Anybody remember that one-season sci-fi show Defying Gravity, in which a crew aboard an intersystem ship had to travel to various planets for reasons originally unexplained, but somehow dealing with crucial issues of survival on Earth? And how it had a wildly mis-cast Ron Livingston as its lead (which I suspect was…

You love to see it!

pfft. I had webforms that silently timed out and you lost all your information and had to start over from zero if you didn’t save your data. I had sites with time-limited session tokens that made you refresh the page manually to get a new one or you got an error page. My local library’s  search interface doesn’t let…

As John Schindler pointed out yesterday: a dude who was clever enough to build a multi-billion-dollar empire from nothing and manage to walk out of the first set of charges virtually unscathed was also smart enough to install cameras in his properties.

And that van full of ICE stormtroopers idling on the corner is just part of regular patrol operations, you betcha. 

Is this all some macabre metaphor for quantum symmetry?
