I picked up almost as much from the library as I did from school—real history, not that polished nonsense we were fed!

The next James Bond should be Gary Oldman in his Jackson Lamb persona.
Actor Gary Oldman playing Jackson Lamb in the Slow Horses TV series. He is scruffy, unshaven, with lank, greasy hair.

The word "verbiage" comes from the French word for "to chatter," it means using too many fucking words. It's interesting that the same functionally illiterate people who use it to mean "words" or "text" are the exact same people impressed by generative AI, which does nothing but chatter incessantly

American conservative discourse on "socialism" since the 1950s has largely been shaped by well-educated, self-interested rich people desperately worried that socialism *will* work; who use hyperbolic, bad faith arguments to get less well-educated poor people to believe that socialism *can't* work.

Millionaires are officially done paying into Social Security for the rest of 2025 as of today.  If we want to ensure Social Security’s long term future, we must scrap the cap and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

How the Super Rich Are Killing Social Security | Robert Reich
Social Security taxes are rigged for the rich — and the program is in danger because of it. A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income. Meanwhile, a normal worker pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income. How does that make any sense?

TO DEM POLITICIANS: Your base is FURIOUS over your lack of FIGHT. Commit to filibustering everything. Wage lawsuits over everything. Flood the zone on every media outlet highlighting MAGA corruption, imperialism, oligarchy & extremism. Bipartisanship is dead & a coup is happening. Act like it.

I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.

America Is an Oligarchy. It Doesn’t Have to Be.
Just three men have more wealth than 160 million Americans. We're ruled by a rigged system designed to exploit the many for the benefit of the few.

It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.
