I will have to go look for #TreeInATruckAtXmas
I remain intrigued by the strange trend of Christmas trees, carried in (often red) trucks, in the design of decorations, gewgaws, cards, wrapping paper, etc.

Here I re-create in Bluesky my lengthy December 2019 thread, hashtag #TreeInATruckAtXmas.

Scavino trying to look like J Edgar Hoover
Stephen Miller looking like he's about to flick a cigarette into the trail of oil leading to the building where all the innocents are trapped.

And Dan Scavino looking like ... well.

This is not a joke any more
My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.

The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

$77 billion on something I had to Google to remind me of it was. I never want to hear people complain about how wasteful the government is when they are building infrastructure
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the "Metaverse" has lost his company more than $77 billion.

Then we just have to securitize differences of opinion and everyone gets rich!
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

I wonder when ‘AI-Free’ will become a selling point?

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

Trump administration: how can we divert attention from the abysmal economic numbers?
Answer:
“The reason for the move is listed as a “lesser security transfer” (code 308), which is completely inappropriate for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences. ‘This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before.’”

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.
