Per Bob Krause:
"Did you know? Musk gets to take a $14B tax loss for driving his own company, #TwitterX, into the ground. It was a purposeful act that weaponized Twitter to ingratiate himself to Trump in return for more wealth an influence. Kind of like a house remodel."

"The practice of holding more people in jail comes as the number of arrests for petty theft has doubled in recent years. In 2024, 27,000 people were charged with petit larceny compared to 13,000 in 2021."

There are two big problems with..H5N1 2.3.4.4b. Firstly, it is classified as “highly pathogenic” meaning it makes the animals it infects very sick. Most die. More significant, perhaps, is that the virus..is.. learning to infect more & more species, including mammals.”

I'm feeling rather lethargic today. It's the kind of mood that has me desiring some preything to cuddle up with as I laze about on the sofa

And when I doze off, they're more than welcome to slip between my slack jaws and worm their way down my gullet, giving me a nice belly to curl up around

To reiterate: what Thune and others are saying is the Budget Committee has the power to invent cost estimates on the spot, under §312 of the Congressional Budget Act.

That will need to be adjudicated by the Senate Parliamentarian.

Abusing that would also be the death knell of budget enforcement.

Some thoughts on Alain Guiraudie's MISERICORDIA, which is currently out in (a handful of) UK cinemas, and which I've been thinking about a lot since I saw it yesterday. I think it is probably a masterpiece, and Guiraudie one of the great filmmakers - but it is a perversely slight & obstinate film.

A chance encounter, sparks took flight—
I knew then, she was mine that night.
Or so it seemed... a fleeting high,
'Til dawn arrived, and truth belied.

The "abundance" movement is a provocation of the progressive left designed to foment a centrist technocracy fixated on pro-capital/Big Tech deregulation.

Societal benefits (to climate, people, ecosystems) are presumed, weakly IMO, to trickle down from that approach.

R.I.P Rob McChesney. He was a trenchant critic who saw corporate & commercial media as corrosive to democracy. I admired how his analysis & polemics were grounded in an intimate understanding of the history, structure & power--the political economy--of media. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/robert-mcchesney-obituary/
