Sticks and stones may break their bones, but names will still probably never hurt them.

I don't understand this, nor do I understand why the entire Dem caucus isn't standing in the way of these officers.

I'm conflicted but I don't see very good leadership if all they're asking us to do is give them money or vote. Money is not speech. It's not action either. It's not leadership. Who is giving who marching orders?

An Enemy of the People seems pretty damn prescient for a 140 year old play. Scientist discovers pollution has poisoned and sickened town, because the authorities including his relatives have been negligent and greedy, and nobody believes him, nobody wants to believe him, and everyone is turned against him by (checks notes) his greedy relatives and other authorities, including the press. Sound familiar? Greed vs. Truth. Populism in the worst ways.
I think I'm going to have to read me some Ibsen.

OK, end of work. I've already picked out my three movies for the night, so brace yourself. In no particular order:
An Enemy of the People (1978), directed by George Schaefer, adapted from a Henrik Ibsen play. It stars Steve McQueen, Charles Durning and Bibi Andersson. So I guess it's serious material.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Enemy_of_the_People_(1978_film)
My Lucky Stars (1985), directed by Sammo Hung, starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Sibelle Hu, Richard Ng, Charlie Chin, Eric Tsang, and Stanley Fung. It's a Hong Kong action comedy you guys.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lucky_Stars
Wanderlust (2012), directed by David Wain, starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, with a fantastic supporting comedic cast. But of course it's a comedy.

I wonder if you play copyrighted music close to their microphones 24/7 they'll be violating copyright if they save it?

Mirrorshades, the Cyberpunk anthology, is a primer on what that movement offered.
I've read quite a lot of Cyberpunk and it's all great. But my favorite Cyberpunk novel is City Come a Walkin', by John Shirley.

We're coming close to the time when if there isn't enough farms and other sources of local produce to survive in a place, that those people will want to move somewhere there is. And if there aren't any such places, we'll all be screwed. Climate refugees aren't currently a favored status anywhere on the planet. But there are already tens of millions of them. Soon to be us.

1. Pop culture is corporate culture.
2. Pop tastes are niche and ironic.
3. You don't need any of it, unless you're trying to make it with someone inappropriately young, or trying to relate to your coworkers at some corporate job, or other people who can't see past the commercials. You can languish in the back of the club enjoying things that have moved into the public domain or are spontaneous and real.

I heard about this years ago. Just like I heard about Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks before his 1968 election.
Traitorous behavior. Administrations could have been jailed for it, both times.
I'd argue what happened in 2000's election in Florida almost rises to the same level of election malfeasance.
Election interference is a Republican brand. Democratic caving in to or helping to hide same is their brand. Or maybe that's the "deep state". I don't know. But the worst deeds were done by the GOP, every time.

If he's going to do this he needs to designate the NRA and all of the other right wing think tanks as terrorist groups, and strip them of tax exempt status. Not to mention the oil companies.

Same thing's going to happen here under Trump, or worse.

There's a huge head made of bricks in my city park that I envision having a huge rock body buried underneath, that comes up and wades through the city destroying banks etc. But Godzilla's a fun one for me.

Stop calling it "the liberal media" or "the mainstream media." It's the Corporate Media, and it skews to the right. And now that it's been captured by oligarchs, there isn't enough of an ecosystem to tell them apart.
Support local, independent investigative journalists. And nothing else. NO TV NEWS.

Welcome to what happens when you don't prosecute or remove evildoers when you have a legitimate chance.
And here I'm talking about rich people.

Someone said it happened on X.com, I don't believe it.
