Legal experts: John Eastman "literally just confessed to the crime" in Fox News interview | Salon.com https://www.salon.com/2023/09/01/legal-experts-john-eastman-literally-just-confessed-to-the-crime-in-fox-news-interview/

So did the Daily Show just quietly shut down?

Many years from now, assuming humanity survives, people are going to look back and say, “So Russians would just assassinate people by throwing them out of high-story windows and no one thought it was weird?”

What we really need the young people to do is figure out new and better ways to organize labor, especially white collar jobs.

I don’t want to see a meme of Trump in jail. It’s not amusing or poignant. It’s dumb. I want to see him actually go to jail. Even more so, I want to see all those who enabled him go to jail. That’s what I want to see.

If I can’t have that I don’t want to talk about it.

“There are many things I cannot do, but I still find myself in awe of the people who can. I do not get bitter about my inability to sing, play guitar, or solve complex mathematical equations. Why do people who can’t throw a ball get so upset with people who can?”

It won’t last, but I’m so appreciative of the weather gods for making it 55°F, sunny and low humidity here on Sept 1st with a high of 72°. Similar all weekend. Glorious.

“The thing people underrate with suicide—it’s a bit of, “You know, I don’t have to take this shit.”

I live in headphones. "Life" seems to be more exhausting. Not seems, is. And I'm retired with next to no responsibilities. 🤷‍♂️

nostr:npub15074264qfye8gc2u9s3fdn2cq23x90mx372fluj8ff48hj22zrzqh7e4gg I’m becoming unaccustomed to society, or at least just less willing to put up with it. I forget who said it but, “Hell is other people.”

nostr:npub15074264qfye8gc2u9s3fdn2cq23x90mx372fluj8ff48hj22zrzqh7e4gg It’s not THAT loud by when people are talking over each other I want to run screaming into the woods. Or put on headphones.

I can’t get over how little tolerance I have for noise and chatter anymore. We had three adults over, two little girls, and a puppy. 3.5 hours.

I’m fried. Fried!

Okay. I have pizza dough rising and people coming over. Time to switch over to my pizza chef persona.

Catch ya later.

As long as we’re in a housing crisis, I think there should be steep penalties for owning more than one home. I have no empathy for landlords. Make your money doing something rather than just taking from others.

AirBnb should be put out of business to begin with.

What’s with the people who have a username that is simply a string of 32 alphanumeric characters and no avatar? Is that supposed to be cute, or is that just some new sort of bot?

I get more and more annoyed by anonymous handles. Man up and tell us who you are.

Jeez, there is NOBODY I care about hearing from at this year’s The Atlantic Festival. That’s unusual. Pass.
