I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.
The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

To the couple at tonight’s University of Indiana screening of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE who were both seeing it for the first time and who were on a date — I love both of you and hope you go the distance.
hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?
Interesting. New contracting memorandum from Secy of Defense says military contracts shld stop including language that bars contractors from running segregated facilities.

This is performative nonsense of “hardcore” tech nincompoops. They could put people in nearby hotels or Airbnbs for a lot less. It’s all cosplaying intense workaholism for the cheap seats and all for PR. Sleeping bags at work is simply dumb www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
I'm not Christian, but if I had never learned anything about it over the years, today I would assume that all Jesus talked about is whose genitals people touched with their own. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

For all the TRUMP = STRONG propaganda this is *exactly* what his “leadership” was like in Covid. Constant zigging and zagging, self-contradictory, incapable of commitment, wanting to have it both ways. It was a disaster!
This is what weak, flailing leadership looks like. His inability to make meaningful change in areas like this explains the desperate, authoritarian bluster of his largely illegal Executive Orders. This is the sort of leader who opposing politicians should definitely NOT cater to.
I try not to criticize anybody who broadcasts live -- there's a reason I don't do it -- but of course there never was any such thing as an "EV Mandate."
Rep. Lisa McClain on CNN next to a ticker showing the stock market tanking for the third day this week: "It is going to take some unconventional methods to get us out of the mess we've been in the past four years with the EV mandates, with unfair trade. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone."
NEW from : Trump pushes back against judicial injunctions by directing executive depts and agencies to ask judges to require plaintiffs to post bonds for the value of potential damages caused by wrongful injunctions

NEW: WH memos takes aim at the "frivolous suits" that have "obtained sweeping injunctions far beyond the scope of relief contemplated by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, functionally inserting themselves into the executive policy making process and therefore undermining the democratic process"
Tariffs tomorrow and tariffs yesterday, but never tariffs today.
Years ago my wife got me a t-shirt with this delightful sequence from "Curious George Takes a Job". I wore that t-shirt out.

You know what's definitely not part of the American Dream? All of us paying higher taxes on food and other necessities so billionaires like Secretary Bessent can get a bigger tax handout.

We will be releasing some more tickets to my special taping in Chicago very soon. Likely today or tomorrow. I will post as soon as they go online. There will be a significant number; couple of hundred at the very least. The taping is on March 15th btw.
If you cut out some of the monkey stock footage, the 3 current White Lotus S3 episodes could be edited into the opening 10 mins of a pretty decent 1-hour drama.
