Wow, just finished it. Very apt. Incredible piece.

First they came for the gypsum and I did not speak out…

At least one writer is (sort of) owning up to it

I guarantee Trump has paid for abortions. Dude was riding bareback through the classiest floozies the seventies and eighties had to offer. There's no way one or two didn't get pressured by him to "do the right thing" after he slipped one past the goalpost.

What's crazy is the old school GOP can now rule from the Legislature, wait for Trump to fly too close to the sun, and then return as "true conservatives" and start it all over again. They did it so well after Bush, they've got it down to an art form.

Shit man, I've seen him kill some tracks.

Wow those herbal supplements are ridiculous. Just the same Longjack and Horny Goat Weed you can get at any gas station ("super stinger stamina love pills!!!") at a 400x mark up. The other stuff just looks like a multivitamin with extra BCAAs… also at a huge markup.

I've got to imagine that shit has to be Bannon or someone thinking strategically. Like "I'll nominate the head of Exxon to be Secretary of State and everyone is just going to be talking about Ye coming to kiss the ring" but who the fuck knows. Maybe he's just there to set up a play date with Barron and North

If Obama had a tragic flaw it was expecting the best of people. Failure to publicize his successes, assuming that the right wing merely had a "different opinion" and wouldn't actively, say, kill their own citizens by refusing Medicaid expansions in order to sabotage the ACA, and then trying to do the right thing…

I can't imagine anything being more discrete than advertising your hacking services on a public comment board for the food vertical on a pop-culture website.

I have to wonder what his end game is at this point. FB has pretty much reached the "too big to fail" stage and amassed enough of a global market share to be untouchable. There have been numerous research papers based on proprietary FB data that indicate a profound ability to shape opinions and actions… and that's…

Most of these houses are incredibly cheaply constructed as well. Just drywall and framing for the most part, with little "bespoke" touches like granite counters. These homes won't last 50 years. Just a tremendous mislay of natural resources and economic output. I wonder if in the future the American McMansion…

I'm working through Nemesis Games now. Such a well done series and the pace they pound them out is very impresssive. They've done a great job of world building.

You'll be done by Commala!

What's there to say? Yes you could be reflexively snarky but she's a professional food blogger/lifestyle maven. This is literally her job and provides exposure, impressions, etc. You do you Laleh

I've been on a big Ballard kick after rereading High Rise. The man definitely holds up.

"Nothing is True and Everything is Possible: The Surreal Heart of Modern Russia" is a real mindfuck, especially now. You can see so many elements of the current disinformation campaign waged against the west in their nascent stage and see their conclusions. Grim stuff.

Thankfully justice was served through Ailes ending up with a $40 million severance package and the ear of the next president.

That pussy tape hurt him. A dozen of them leaked out could have been indefensible. Of course they could have ended up giving him a boost so who knows.

He's the one who supposedly has access to enough hours of egregious material from Apprentice outtakes to have sunk Trump a dozen times over. So fuck him twice.
