I’m a little confused as to the purchase of Twitter by Musk. Is it a done deal? Is he now the legitimate owner? I thought there were a few more hurdles to jump through, such as the transfer of money or the approval of regulators and the like. It doesn’t seem like Musk is running Twitter yet, like hands on changing…

Is that apostrophe in the headline driving anyone else crazy, or just me? The butchering of grammar and punctuation at G/O Media sites continues apace.

I fully expect red states will soon begin passing legislation making it a crime to wear a mask in public.

Are you new around here?

I suspect this might be part of the reason he is trying to buy it. The right can’t build a successful platform for their RWNJs to spout their bullshit to people who don’t want to hear it. So in the face of failure, just buy one that someone else successfully built. This is the conservative way to do everything.

She will always be Envy Adams to me.

Ya, maybe. But the SCOTUS shadow docket ruling against the Clean Water Act, without an opinion, makes me think those conservatives are set to invalidate half a century’s worth of environmental and health protection law without even justifying it. When I saw that the CWA was a part of this situation, my pessimism…

Call me a pessimist, but I fully expect SpaceX, the state of Texas and whoever owns the land (assuming not SpaceX) to sue and eventually win at the Supreme Court.

which is why amateur filmmakers with smaller budgets will shoot on 8mm or 16mm film instead of 35mm, but the savings come at the cost of a reduced resolution and results that don’t quite look as professional.

I’ve heard quite few say that Musk is trying to get the kid tracking his flights booted from the platform. So why not buy the service to do it himself? That totally tracks with how a narcissistic, man-child billionaire would spend his money.

I mean, I get it, it sucks that gas prices are high and how that effects every segment of the economy. But, ‘cmon, we built this house knowing full, fucking well that we are relying on a form of energy that is volatile in price and availability due to pretty much anything that could happen (e.g. war, terrorism, oil…

Maybe it is just because the circles I run in has a lot of talk about unionizing, but it seems that, nationwide, unionizing is on the rise in a significant way. This is great and it is long past time that corporate America realize that they need to treat workers with respect and that their union smear campaigns are…

Um, going to that link, this is listed at $179, not $229

Love that bit of context. Very appropriate. Cruz is definitely a Frank Burns.

It was Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) on Twitter: “I will say this again having worked with Ted Cruz in 2000 campaign: when people asked me why do folks take such an instant dislike to cruz, my answer was it saves time.”

A stable energy supply with stable prices are a national security issue. Nationalize energy production now.

Note that both studios said “humanitarian crisis in Ukraine” not “unprovoked war by Russia.” Words matter and they chose theirs carefully.

The difference there is that 99.9% of their constituents don’t have a fuckin’ clue about any of those nominees, or that they even existed. It is a whole different ballgame when it comes to the Supreme Court.

The human ability to ignore what is coming is quite a feat. The reasons this is being “ignored” are complex and varied, but it comes down to the fact that the 1% aren’t going to give up one damned cent to ensure a viable future. On top of that, we’ve entrenched an insanely massive and inflexible economic system (as…

Walker County, where Parrish is located, voted 86% for Trump in 2020. That was up from 83% in 2016. I would say it is quite appropriate for a load of shit to fester there.
