I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Not making it up: Just boarded a Southwest flight and as I passed the cockpit, pilot and copilot were telling a flight attendant about being furries. Regrettably for the intellectual powerhouse that is the U.S. senator from Alabama, in the next breath they started laughing and called him an idiot.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

40 years ago tonight, ALF premiered on TV. Happy 40th Birthday, Alf. I hope all the cats in Melmac Heaven are hot n' spicy, just how you like 'em.
Panel 1: ET's Asogian starship landing on a strange planet

Panel 2: ET walks down the ramp, smiling, ready to get his botany on

Panel 3: ET sees a bunch of ALFs boiling a cat. This is Melmac

Panel 4: ET immediately walks back up ramp, his little buns showing

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) long maintained he wasn't impaired during a 2011 crash. But newly obtained toxicology reports reveal he had MDMA and Klonopin in his system. It's part of a 2,000-page trove of records we obtained about Miller, who is currently running for a third term.

Ken Paxton and Texas Republicans let a pedophile rapist basically walk free. Adam Hoffman did a plea bargain, spent a few weeks in jail, and walked out and doesn't have to register as a sex offender. Might be a huge scandal. Maybe worth some major headlines and stories.

New World screwworm is a fly whose larvae eat living tissue, causing severe wounds in livestock, wildlife, & occasionally humans. Its return to TX after elimination in the US since the 60s is concerning—but surely gutting public health infrastructure & the fed workforce had nothing to do with it 🙂

Flesh-eating screwworm returns to U.S. after 60 years, threatening cattle herd
The case of New World screwworm was confirmed in a 3-week-old calf in La Pryor, Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said.

The first line in this NY Times story is: “It is a confusing moment to be a voter in the South.” No, it’s not. It’s the clearest it’s been in a long time. Republicans are stealing the political power of Black voters through outrageous gerrymandering endorsed by a right-wing Supreme Court. 2/4🧵

It is a confusing moment to be a voter in the South.

Republican leaders across the region have redrawn congressional maps at breakneck speed in the month since the Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act, leading primaries to be postponed, a veteran House member to abandon his re-election bid and new candidates to charge into races ahead of the November midterms.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the
