10 years ago I carved the jack-o-lantern that I or anyone has ever carved.
Weirdest "that's it" I've ever heard. I never would have imagined a few hundred people had enough wealth to cover an entire year's Federal budget alone.
If you expropriated the entire wealth of every billionaire in the United States, you would pay for all federal services for... one year.

That's it. You'd get a one-year federal tax holiday, and then everything has to be paid for by other taxes again.
Can't believe these people have eyes and ears and have seen GOP hardliners get the party they wanted by doing exactly this.
I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

I left Twitter when I realized my choices were to either innure myself to seeing promoted bluecheck replies like "hmm smells like Jew" under every news story or leave. Guess Ryan chose otherwise!
I don't begrudge writers including X in their shotgun approach to self-promotion, but favorably comparing an openly racist, anti-Semitic cesspool to Bluesky in terms of "sanity" is just begging to be dropped in the pay-no-mind junkheap.
It is so lucky for Democrats that this kind of discourse is no longer on Twitter where the national media and politicians would see it. Better for it to be sealed off in this asylum. This is genuinely just insane.
Robert Byrd seemed to genuinely repent for his past and spent decades atoning for it, to the point where the NAACP mourned his death as the loss of a civil rights champion. People can indeed change.

But there's no sign of a similar arc of sincere repentance and reckoning in Platner's case.

Thinking about how when the Facebook party died by letting in the elders, it was still mostly pics of family and recipes from your aunt instead of like, Infowars conspiracies.
OK I'll bite: what the hell is a droid
I actually did write a novel(ette) in about a month this spring. So I'm good!
I'm doing a morning writing room for anyone that wants to celebrate National Novel-Writing Month (though feel free to write anything you want).

8am ET/7am CT.

It's free! (Donations accepted.)

Pretty goofy the Cuomo bros are trying to claim Mamdani ran an "identity politics" campaign when Cuomo spent the whole time going "Bada bing it's-a me Mario Cuomo's son saying fuggetabout it to this Muslim who loves 9/11 because he's muslim. Now that's a spicy meatball from me, Mario Cuomo's son."
Entire US economy is built on Gabbo speculation markets so the news is just an endless stream of this shit.
He actually said he'd heard second-hand that Romney pays $0 in taxes by working the system, a perfectly greasy lie.

If he'd claimed he could prove a federal crime all the pressure would have been on Reid to do so.
harry reid straight up said "mitt romney cheats on his taxes and i can prove it," and he didn't cheat, and he couldn't prove it, and it was a story for almost a month, and the democrats somehow did not learn that they can just say "donald trump is a pedophile"
Is there a better gender-neutral alternative to brother/sister than sibling? Sibling sounds cold to me and I don't like the idea of they/them folks being stuck with it.
The chains were fun! Sports should exist outside the computer as much as possible.
I got a free Tijuana Flats taco for 10 strikeouts at a Ray's game but I had to first go to Kane's Furniture to get the voucher and then redeem within 4 days.
So many of these guys live in a perpetual frenzied search for the secret ingredient that will make them a Real Man, while fighting like mad against taking even a spoonful of humility, the medicine that does just that.
I still don't understand where the capitalists are showing restraint or are betraying the pursuit of profit. Running a company irresponsibly in pursuit of short-term gains or investing in advantageous political or labor outcomes isn't abandoning capitalism.
I always enjoy reading your work. Solid truth-telling without reservations.
Sometimes when reading to my kids I've felt the horror of realizing, too late, that I can't do the accent I'm trying for a character, and that I can't stop and figure it out so I just have to plow through. I would genuinely quit my job if they posted a video of me going through that.
This is Olivia Reingold trying to get back at John Oliver for the blistering takedown they did of the Free Press.

It’s actually worse than you’re thinking.
I don't say this glibly, but modern fascism is built on brain-damaged people who use domination of vulnerable strangers as a coping mechanism.
Current events are a lot less confusing if you remember both the media and Democrats have good reason to want Trump in every election regardless of the risk, and there's no reason an unconstitutional third term would buck that trend.
I'm slowly becoming a Simpsons screens account.
