Thoughts on CoPilot's analysis of the 60 Minutes interview with MTG.
* True, we've said that for years
* Probably True, not unexpected, but FAFO
* Someone was mean to the whiny, senile toddler, so someone else should apologize
* Good. But the GOP isn't good at math, so division might be too hard
* True, we've said that for years
* Probably True, not unexpected, but FAFO

The fallacy of "trickle down" economics.
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Things said or written that drive me nuts.
Soccer: "quality"
Any American Sport: "physicality"
Screenplays: "Can I ask you a question?"
If "quality" was a trigger for a drinking game, everyone would be drunk by the end of the first half.
What words make you cringe?

Watching the Bengals-Bills game. All across the country mothers of these players are shouting at the screen, "Put your coat on! Where are your gloves? Why aren't you wearing that sweater I bought for you? Tell your coach I said to let you wear your hat!"

I'm outlining a new screenplay for the D.C. Universe. In this story, Batman has narcolepsy. I'm thinking of calling it The Dark Knighty-night.
Discuss.

I still believe it would have been cheaper and better for all of us if we just gave him $500b to renounce his citizenship and leave for ever with the threat of prison if he returns. He would have taken it.

Dear Dem millionaires and billionaires,
You can move the needle. Take your financial resources to red states and feed the people who are losing their SNAP funding. Show them who actually cares about them as people. Oh, and do it in the blue states too. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

#Gaza It was never about peace. It was always about Trump's delusion that he deserves a Nobel medal. He is openly anti-muslim. Some of his first OEs in 2017: Muslim bans. It was always performance. Con artists can't broker peace. They can only broker advantage for themselves.

This may seem trivial with all that's going on in the country, but I need to say this.
@mls.bsky.social When a team busted their butts to get home-field advantage in the playoffs, don't make their first playoff game on a friggin' Tuesday. You want more fans in the stands? Weekends. It's not hard.

I'm an atheist and theology hobbyist. But I've read the books and I like this one.
Micah 6:8. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
"Conservative Christians" probably don't know this one.
