There’s a reason It’s a wonderful life still has wide appeal.
You see, this is a subtle reference to how we’re living in a capitalistic hellscape where people can’t afford basic things.
That a quote from 1946 still hits so deep to this day because people still can’t make enough to save 5000$.

If the NFL is watching how Bluesky responds to Ian Rapoport to gauge the general interest of football here, Ian just brought out a flamethrower to juke the stats and can't thank him enough for posts like this
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

For her serious ethical lapses, Nuzzi was rewarded with an editor role at Vanity Fair.
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

It's fashionable now to trot out Nixon being ahead of his time on Russia, China, etc - for good & ill I helped start it - but nobody talks about the last chapter of In the Arena, which is pretty much a no-holds-barred attack on elderly politicians who won't get off the stage & go demented in public.

Today is the real birthday of TWILIGHT ZONE: OTD in 1958 CBS aired "The Time Element" on DESILU PLAYHOUSE. Rod Serling's script had William Bendix transported 17 years & warning of Pearl Harbor. Ratings/mail convinced CBS a weekly series of the weird had great promise: TZ debuted one year later.

The economy is so bad that Trumpist judges are turning to AI to draft their unhinged screeds
Question about the dissent by (the far-right) Justice Ziegler: Does this quote actually appear in Moore v. Harper? Did Moore say that state courts' role in congressional redistricting is "exceedingly limited"? I don't think it did! vhdshf2oms2wcnsvk7sdv3so.blob.core.windows.net/thearp-media...

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."
