Target Tempers Expectations After Best Sales Gain in Years
Target Corp.’s turnaround gained traction last quarter, but the retailer worried investors after striking a more cautious tone about the coming months.

I was reminded yesterday of an incredible quote from my favorite author: Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground. GNU Terry.

I never watched because I cannot stand the sound of his voice or the sight of his little butthole mouth, but is he having a full crash out at a press conference?

“As long as the right people get rich, who cares what they do” as a defense for pedophiles from the head of the justice department means they really have zero fear of consequences

Call their bluff. Let them end the filibuster and pass all of the awful legislation they want to and Americans will really get mad. Or let them suffer under filibuster until they come to the table and negotiate.

If and when we ever get back to a government lead by the people and not buy oligarchs, I hope there is a swift and meaningful rush to shore up our institutions to resist attacks from the inside. The “let’s take the temperature down“ narrative of leftists and Democrats just allowed them to be cooked.

ABC is run by cowards. His audience was not demanding this. But the right wing was. If FOX can allow calls for euthanizing homeless people without firing anyone, surely a comedian can point out hypocrisy without losing his job.

I'll say again: not a democracy. Robinson was raised by MAGAs and steeped in MAGA culture. He then entered the sinister alt-right digital ecosystem. He happens to be gay, but the presumption that that means he's a leftist is virulently homophobic. Kimmel gets this, and was suspended for saying it.

Celebrating making things more expensive for Americans while doing nothing to address, Rising costs in rent, food, healthcare, or other basic necessities is insane. You didn’t make American goods cheaper. You just reduced cheaper alternatives for Americans.

I don’t understand why releasing the files makes any material difference. There is literally no one who believes he is innocent. It doesn’t change a single thing that we’ve known about him for more than a decade. Why the theater?

I always thought it was stupid in movies when the villain would say their plans out loud to the hero. I guess it was more realistic than I thought.

Happy 4th. I just had to unsubscribe to the Social Security Administration’s email because I guess they send bull shit propaganda now as an official agency.

I’m far more worried about the religious Christian extremists already trying to enact religious law across the country than a progressive New York mayor enacting Sharia Law.

I get the sentiment but the “this bombing of Iran is unconstitutional” narrative isn’t a winner. Why would this be more illegal than U.S. bombing Yemen (which we’ve done plenty) or any other strikes? We haven’t declared war since WWII.

One side is frothing at the mouth to be violent. They’re so ready to play super hero that they’re willing to be a villain to do it. Violence is, apparently, the only language they speak.

So now, when Republicans continue losing elections, they will start screaming about interference from Elon. It won’t be true, but it will be something the media will run with because it’s “just plausible enough “to make for an entertaining new cycle.

Commuters are ‘barebacking’ in a return to office rebellion—and experts say it’s ‘the best defence against information overload’
First, there was “raw-dogging” on flights. Now, commuters are being called out for doing the same—staring awkwardly at passengers and going tech-free while they travel.
