    There&#39;s a reason why in the U.S., everything comes down to the economy. It&#39;s the stable foundation on which everyone can build. Without it, we&#39;re lost. Think of the American economy as a seawall that keeps out the tide for everyone. The party in charge keeps stealing stones out of that seawall so it can create a tall, massive artificial island for itself and its people. And the tide rushing in through the holes? Well, that&#39;s for the poors to worry about. Even though they built t...

    @MySideIsHumanity@mastodon.cloud What I&#39;m seeing right now is a lot of white collar workers asking, &quot;But, uh, how... how are we supposed to make a living?&quot; and the response being straight from The Emperor&#39;s New Groove: &quot;Don&#39;t know don&#39;t care, how&#39;s that?&quot; No, I don&#39;t think white collar workers are any more special than the factory workers and the fishermen and the other people who were economically screwed before them. But it is interesting to see how...

    I wasn&#39;t sure what we could eat for dinner, so I went spelunking in the fridge, freezer &amp; pantry. Found 4 big tortillas, some bean dip, 1/8 lb. frozen bacon, wedge of cabbage, a bit of jack cheese, some chipotle mayo I made last week, and a can of beans. That&#39;ll do it. Cooked bacon. Grated cheese. Sliced cabbage thin. Drained &amp; rinsed beans. Tossed beans &amp; bean dip in the pan to heat. Toasted tortillas, filled &#39;em with bean mixture, cheese, cabbage &amp; bacon, laced al...

    The late PJ O&#39;Rourke once famously wrote, &quot;Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.&quot; I think he had it wrong. Teenage boys are considerably more responsible than this.

    As a child, I was taught early and often that life was unfair. As I got older, I began to notice that life *was* unfair -- and usually unfairly skewed to the benefit of a specific group. And that the members of that group were mostly the ones who took the time to point out to everyone else that life was unfair. Hmm.

    They told me that if I voted for Kamala Harris, I would get a war with Iran. Well, they were kind of right. I voted for Kamala Harris. And we got a war with Iran.

    You might know that English-language books published in the UK don&#39;t always get the same title when they&#39;re published in the US. (&quot;Harry Potter and the Sorcerer&#39;s Stone&quot; comes to mind.) But did you know that the opposite is also true? Ray Bradbury&#39;s anthology novel about Mars, &quot;The Martian Chronicles,&quot; was published in the UK under the title &quot;The Silver Locusts.&quot; And it makes me wonder: when &quot;Fahrenheit 451&quot; was first published in London,...

    No, Trump didn&#39;t have some sort of grand plan for #Iran. He never plans ahead. That&#39;s half the reason why he wears diapers. The other half is that for his entire life he&#39;s made erratic movements and expected other people to clean up his shit.

    Chekhov believed that in drama, foreshadowing had to be followed up on. He used to say that if you placed a gun on the mantlepiece in Act 1, it had to be fired by the final act. I&#39;m concerned that the Chekhov&#39;s gun scenario we now face is this: if a senile old pedo who knows his horrific past WILL catch up to him is given access to the nuclear codes, he will use them by the final act. Perhaps as his final act. If there&#39;s anyone sane left in his Cabinet, take the nuke codes away fro...

    Today I&#39;ve been thinking a lot about the life and death of Ken McElroy (look him up) and about how if justice cannot be obtained by application of the law, it will eventually arrive by other means. Something well worth considering for people who believe the law is for others to follow and for them to flout.

    It&#39;s a pleasant day, really. Warm but not too warm, bit of a breeze, no rain. But there&#39;s a scent to the air - ozone? petrichor? something - unfamiliar. You&#39;re probably just dehydrated. They&#39;re out of your kiwi-strawberry water at the Kwik Mart. You grab a peach water instead. At lunch you stop by the walk-up burger joint where the menu hasn&#39;t changed an iota since the 1950s. Burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes. You notice the shake flavors are chocolate, vanilla... and p...
