    These stories are so weird. People should get a pay *raise* to work from home because they’re not costing their company rent in office space.

    Would you take a pay cut to keep working from home?

    At this point, I think it's safe to say that Ike's farewell speech on the military industrial complex was taken less as a warning and more like an investment strategy for Wall Street and American corporations.

    According to Brown University's Cost of War project, the cost of interest alone on the Afghan war debt will reach $6.5 trillion by 2050–or $20,000 for each and every U.S. citizen.

    The last time the US did something like this—the Nassau Agreement between JFK and Macmillan essentially subordinating UK’s nukes under American control—de Gaulle pulled France out of NATO.

    Look at this. Police are spending taxpayer funds on things called “not reaching pouches” so cops will be less likely to murder people simply for opening up their glove compartment for their insurance cards & registration. A stunning admission of the inherent violence of policing.

    We recently purchased some Not-Reaching Pouches to help reduce deadly force encounters between law enforcement and citizens during traffic stops. The pouches store a driver’s license, and insurance card in plain sight in the vehicle on an air vent or other visible location.

    Be sure to ask him about the time he coached Reagan in the 1980 debates then went on his ABC News "commentary" slot to analyze the debates without revealing his partisan participation.

    Tonight on #127 I'm joined for the 1st time ever by , whose new book is "American Happiness And Discontents." We talk language, creativity, US umbrage, Dylan, baseball, Saudis, and I defend the lyrics of The Stones' "Satisfaction" to him. Not to be missed.

    3 protests in Toronto this week: 1) First responders against vaccines. No uniformed police. 2) Anti-vaxxers against hospitals. Small uniformed police presence, maintain their distance. 3) Housing activists against destruction of homeless encampments. Mounted police and arrests

    This would be the same Joe Biden who is giving speeches about the dire dangers of climate change – while opening up 70 million acres of offshore tracts in the Gulf for oil drilling.

    Anyone who's followed Biden's career over the years knows he's deceitful, belligerent, corrupt & stupid, but this really takes the cake. Giving yet another nation nuclear weapons while betraying US allies: it's morally depraved, morally insane.

    So glad to see a column by a rightwing apparatchik from the rightwing Spectator in the Guardian, praising BoJo's "bold" reshuffle of his gang of murderous, utterly corrupt idiots. Because rightwing views are so thin on the ground in UK media, right?

    This don't-shoot-me-pouch fills me with despair.

    finally a state that's pursuing meaningful accountability for and innovating bold solutions to how its armed agents keep on doing extrajudicial executions

    Via the Iraq war & the housing bubble, former Bush administration official Greg Mankiw & his buddies cost America maybe $20 trillion. I wonder if that's part of this op-ed of his about what American can "afford."

    "A Covid-19 patient was encouraged to leave Letterkenny General Hospital by an activist, who filmed the interaction...In the video, the activist said he was 'rescuing' the man, and falsely claimed treatment in the hospital would 'kill' the patient."

    Boris Johnson and at least 3 of his Ministers breached their own national security guidance by using private emails and phones for Government business. We've filed for judicial review.💥

    I think this means “rich people kill you for money.”

    New: A number of conservative House Democrats seeking to water down prescription drug price regulation and tax hikes on the rich come from solid Democratic seats, undermining the idea that they are merely doing what is needed to win reelection.
