I'm just watching a bad dream I never wake up from

I like Dark Winds better. Zahn McClarnon is the lead, the guy who played Officer Mathias in Longmire. Not a *ton* of satisfaction from the mystery arcs but some good stuff there IMO.

This guy has his finger on the pulse of an idea that my head's been circling now for years and, well, failed to identify. I keep thinking, "What's wrong with our culture that people are in such despair, that some people seem to think of family as so fungible or disposable?"

to wit: Left-wing talk radio is so rare that it's damn near a contradiction in terms. (And no, NPR doesn't count. Anyone who actually understands media bias and how to observe it consistently rates them... almost maddeningly dead-center.)

Seems like a rather cynical ploy: Threaten to collapse a Congressionally appropriated fund through giveaways, dare Dems to sue, then say "See? They don't want to help, just keep wasting, defrauding and abusing!"

That's the one! Seems kinda incel-ish, although maybe too self-aware of how sleazily the narrator acts? And yeah, "Jessie's Girl" is a bop. My teenage ass thought it was kind of an anthem, until I listened more closely to the middle eight and realized, "This guy's a dipshit."

Same "national security" scam he is playing with the ballroom. It's hard to know with this guy when something rises to a level of panic but the people envisining the US version of IRCG plainclothes thugs gunning down protesters from the roofs might need to log off for a bit

Seriously, of all the stupid shit Biden did, this is a weird one to focus on. And meanwhile Donny Boy has choked off Ukr's patriot interceptor supply, among many, MANY other things Biden (eventually) gave to Ukr that Trump withheld. It's not "black & white," but a hell of a dark shade of gray

r.i.p. Alan Greenspan, met Ayn Rand when he was 26 and went on to make the most incredible mess of the U.S. economy based largely on her insane theories www.theawl.com/2011/04/when...
If the Enron disaster had not already made the hollowness of this argument horribly apparent, the financial crisis four years later could leave no doubt. And so it was that in October 2008, the mother of all Objectivist reckonings came to pass: The Span had to defend his disastrous policies to Congress one Thursday afternoon and explain why the U.S. economy, for decades under his stewardship, had gone kablooey. Here is what he said to that mob of furious congressmen who made up the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

“I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such as that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms […]

“Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholders’ equity, myself included, are in a state of shocked disbelief.”

He was slumping the whole time. The guy was clearly exhausted throughout the event. Barely attentive, hoarsely muttering, face drooping. He looked like a reanimated corpse with a makeup job

white house socials team swooping in to his defense is hilarious. His (plainly closed) eyes were open, you mouth-breathing dumbasses! His one eye that wasn't almost swollen shut, on his drooping face, from which he hoarsely dribbled out a slurred and halting mishmash of disconnected phrases
