Does anybody doubt that at some point Moe, Larry, and Curly all sat around and seriously considered making the livestream of Nidal Hasan's execution a pay-per-view event to generate more revenue to line their pockets. 🫤

Are we really going to shed tears for a self-professed "ultra-ultra-ultra conservative" who championed Trump as "a winner" and called himself his "biggest fan." Not to mention claiming that there's been no oppression of black Americans in the last 100 years. 😑

There's also a great new 2025 documentary on Orwell by Raoul Peck called "Orwell: 2+2=5" that does a good job of contextualizing 1984 and Animal Farm in terms of the current swing towards authoritarianism.

This new photo by Evelyn Hockstein is amazing. She managed to capture both the physical (yikes!) and mental deterioration (a mix of madness, rage and disorientation). I wish I could buy a share in the rights to "We Are The Champions" and "Party in the USA." I suspect their airtime will spike soon!

Founders Allen and VandeHei are two of the biggest Trump admin mouthpieces, yet we constantly give them an uncritical free pass! Did we forget they're the same guys who wrote this gem last year? 🙄

I was scanning a "trends in global payment" study from McKinsey & Company today which estimates that "cash transactions now represent just 5% of the value of consumer payments" in the U.S. Got me thinking how devastating the impact of this shift must be on buskers, the unhoused and so many others!

I assume this weekend is just the start of what will be a steadily increasing flow of federal pardons for fraudsters, tax cheats and sex traffickers willing to line Trump's pockets. I just hope blue state prosecutors will start filing state charges (e.g., CA indicting P-Diddy when he gets pardoned).

Except for their position to NOT supply weapons or troops to Ukraine, Péter Magyar's Tisza Party looks quite similar to the Democratic Party. Yet Tisza is considered a "center-right" party. In the U.S., we have absolutely ZERO conception of what a true left or even a center-left party looks like.

The 1943 Tehran Conference - oh, the irony - is where FDR and Churchill first hopped into bed with Stalin (i.e., "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"). Embracing MAGA supporters who are now turning on Trump for disrespecting their imaginary friend has a similar bitter taste. 🤮
