I know a few Canadians in BC concerned about the number of Americans they see moving here. "There goes the neighborhood" vibes, but given Americans' apparent tolerance for violence and fascism, I don't blame them.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

"Bop Girl Goes Calypso" belongs in the badfilm hall of fame, in my opinion, but for some reason it's often overlooked. Bobby Troup has a machine that proves calypso will overtake rock 'n' roll. His girlfriend is a eugenicist who wants to breed superbabies. Recommended cinematic dogshit. #FilmSky

My memories of Dolly Parton go way back, to when I would watch the Porter Wagoner show with my grandparents. "And they're only found in boxes of Breeze." Later she was my first best example of a woman who refused to be belittled by people who treated her as a punchline. RIP, Dolly.

There is absolutely no downside to government officials for straight-up lying to the NYT, even when the NYT has VIDEO PROVING THAT THEY ARE LYING. They just quote you anyway. That's NOT JOURNALISM, @madaleinerubin.bsky.social. That is BULLSHIT. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/u...
The Department of Homeland Security said in an unsigned statement late Tuesday that the agents had been trying to detain undocumented migrants who had committed crimes when they were approached by Ms. Molina, whom the agency called an “anti-ICE agitator.”

The D.H.S. said she had driven circles around the officers and tried to harm them with her vehicle to help the migrants get away. The agents were afraid, the department said, when they stopped Ms. Molina in the shopping center.

The agency did not provide any videos of the encounter or events leading up to it. Ms. Molina, whose videos do not capture events outside the shopping center, was not detained and has not been criminally charged.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!
