Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

Really excellent data driven deep dive on DC’s failure to enforce traffic laws. Do I wonder if lack of police enforcement isnt really about the racial justice concerns but because attempted traffic stops themselves often lead to deadly behavior capitalcommonsense.substack.com/p/dc-has-a-t...

Happy There Will Come Soft Rains Day to all who celebrate. (Especially those in Allendale, California.) short-stories.co/@raybradbury...
A screenshot of the beginning of a short story. The title “There Will Come Soft Rains” is at the top, and then the author’s name (Ray Bradbury) then it says it’s a five minute read with a PG-13 rating. 

The first view paragraphs of text then read…

In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o’clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o’clock! As if it were afraid that nobody would.

Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!

In the kitchen the breakfast stove ejected eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunnyside up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk.

“Today is August 4, 2026, the city of Allendale, California.”

We are roughly a month from entering year 2 of 700,000 Americans living under an illegal military occupation. In that time, their city landmarks have been decimated. Troops monitor their daily lives. And now, a few days of borderline noise torture followed by brutal air pollution. End it now.

i thought that you were better than this, @governorwalz.mn.gov. Occupying cities with Feds doesn't get any more defensible outside of Minnesota. And it's not like 700K DC residents had a voice in whether or not to invade Minnesota with DHS forces, but YOU are now complicit in DC's occupation.

@wmata.com how are you training MTPD officers to figure out who paid their bus fare? Just had one try to pull me off the bus because he said I didn't pay, when I clearly did.

#SaveThePost, Jeff Bezos.
This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement:

The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world.

If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does.

If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency. Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

When the headlines are "little difference between the candidates", why would people turn out to vote in the primary? How will my life be different with Hashmi as LtGov vs Rouse? This is not a sign that people aren't engaged and won't turn out. Just that this vote, big picture, didn't mean much.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
