It sickens me that there is a nonzero chance we'll hand the keys to the US government to the Democrats in the coming election, then Shumer will reach across the aisle in a spirit of bipartisanship while Harris talks about how she's friends with the remaining Republicans and has tea parties and such.

American workers are taking home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

Roger Ebert loved to quote this conversation between Sam Arkoff and Rex Reed:
REED: Sam! I just saw “The Winged Serpent!” What a surprise! All that dreck—and right in the middle of it, a great Method performance by Michael Moriarty!


ARKOFF: The dreck was my idea.

While sources online differ on whether Dryden was 21 or 12, this appears to be a scan of the original reporting so 12 is likely a typo that got propagated online. Anyway, I wonder if the Velvet Underground, or John Cale, were aware of this incident.
Image of a news article with text reading as follows:

British Girl Saved From Delivering Herself To Beatles

Sunderland, England, June 15 (Reuters)—Beatles fan Carol Dryden, 21, nearly suffocated when she tried to send herself to the mop-haired quartet in a wooden crate.

She wrapped herself inside the box marked, "Presents for the Bratles," and had a friend pay $8.40 freight charges for the 280-mile rail journey to London.

Ten minutes later a porter saw the box move and the plot was discovered. Carol had forgotten to put airholes in the tea chest—and would have died within half an hour.

It's been 55 years since Milton Friedman - cursed be his name - published his *NYT* editorial, "The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits," inventing "shareholder supremacy" out of whole cloth, declaring it a universal, inarguable truth: www.nytimes.com/1970/09/13/a... 1/
A fake cover for CEO magazine. The central figure is a ZOLTAR fortune-telling animatronic, seated before various divination tools. The headline over him is FIDUCIARY DUTY. In the top right corner, there's a slug reading 'UNIVERSAL EXCUSE: A bright line test that's also *totally* unfalsifiable.' To Zoltar's left is another slug reading, 'FRIEDMAN SAID IT: I believe it. That's good enough for me.'

The only way to watch the UFC fight at the White House (even for live streaming mockery purposes) is to have Paramount plus, which is owned by MAGA billionaires the Ellisons, who destroyed CBS News and soon CNN. Their corruption is all so out in the open and obvious.

If you're right-wing, you want a small group to have institutional power over everybody else. If you're left-wing, you don't want that. There's a lot of negotiation within those, but that's the principle.
