I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

TITLE: LIFE IN A VACUUM INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY ROCKY, a black mutt with white paws and muzzle, gnaws on a TENNIS BALL on a RUG at the foot of a SOFA. Dappled sunlight filters through an open window illuminating SPECKS OF DUST floating in the air. A VACUUM stands in the corner.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

It slaps, as the kids say. Pigeons of Paradise - an animated feature. A lean 94 pages. Structurally sound. So excited about this one.

For like 20 years Wall Street’s tried to punish Costco for ‘overpaying’ employees & refusing to raise prices just to gouge customers, despite healthy profits. They’re like the one company that’s proof if you succeed at capitalism somewhat fairly it’s still not enough for these fucking vampires.

Wall Street is pushing Costco for higher profits at the expense of customers.
In yesterday's earnings call, Costco's management faced pressure around its decision to absorb some grocery inflation instead of raising prices.
"Why make that decision?" a Citigroup analyst asked.
