Why are ppl worth millions of dollars doing commercials? Seriously. You are not improving children. You are not building a hospital. You are not even filling a pothole. You are just figuring that the extra money could push you over the edge to buy an island.

I have been reading Hobbes. Oof he is rough. And he basically stipulates that a bag government is better than no government at all

Wed Hot Takes: 1. This administration gets dumber and more cruel every day 2. Money making money is not a stable economic model 3. Elections are important, but it will be important to maintain momentum after them 4. Banning books means the adults don't want to have serious in depth conversations

A Republican PAC spent nearly $25,000 running ads to help Sen. Susan Collins in Portland. Wrong Portland. They’re inept at everything. Portland, Oregon, that is. Not Portland, Maine. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon
An outside group mistakenly spent nearly $25,000 to boost Collins in Portland, Oregon, rather than Portland, Maine. The buyer admitted to the error and refunded the PAC.

I live next to a bar that has sidewalk seating, outside TVs, and garage door-type windows that open. They are constantly cheering and when I look nothing has really changed. I live in Milwaukee, but cheering for every hit seems excessive and no one loses their voice.

Mon Hot Takes 1. I love how the GOP is helping Talarico stay in the news 2. Mr Irrelevant no longer means the last person in the NFL draft; it refers to Trump. 3. Columbus was the worst kind of eurotrash. 4. Terror is the order of the day 5. A good cup of tea is always needed

The Assyrian kings did drink out of their enemies skulls. I would think that civilization has advanced since then, but some ppl want to go back to terror as the order of the day

Angry, but not desperate. Drinking fruit tea and looking forward to more Russian oil refineries burning. ​Haters better sit down. Not today, losers. ​To our friends: it's a good time to double down on your support for Ukraine, even if it mainly consists of countering Russian propaganda online.

Sat. Hot Takes: 1. India arrests Gen-Z leaders, taking another step to one party rule 2. Trump is learning that a bully does not always win 3. Saudi Arabia is another front in the Iran war 4. No Kings rally is October 17! Book your frog suit now :) 5. Oligarch petulance when challenged is hilarious

I am just going to scream into the void... the "work week" is an classist misconception of what work is. Who serves food on trays Who makes your drinks? Those people work. Just b/c elites who own most of the world decide what a work week is does not mean that is when work stops. It is demeaning.

ummm...some of our "work weeks" are actually the weekend. To help those so called "work week" ppl enjoy themselves. For all of us in the "service industry", please stop promoting this.

A teacher earning $60k pays 20 to 30% in federal income and payroll taxes. The 25 richest Americans paid a true rate of 3.4% from 2014 to 2018. The tax code is not failing. It is working exactly as designed, for those who designed it.

Friday Morn Hot Takes: 1. Trump does not get peace prize...which is not news but part of the Trump Derangement Syndrome hilarity that I need to mention 2. Europe is having an 1848 moment and will probably flame out 3. Heads of Countries are not necessarily leaders of nations 4. Eat the oligarchs
