    I'd be more impressed if it printed $20 bills on voice command.

    I just set up my new HP Tango printer, connected it to Alexa, and discovered it prints Dilbert comics on voice command. Nice! ⁦⁩

    Every year our aunt in Maine sends us little handmade chocolate lobsters. This year they are soap. Guess how I found out? 🦞 🧼 👄

    No, you idiot, even if it was cold last week, it's NOT going to be a white Christmas in South Florida this year.

    What's that? The sound of dying pigs screaming in Hell? No, just the Dolphins on TV.

    No, that would be "Reds."

    Dear God. BLAME IT ON RIO is free on Amazon Prime. Shouldn't it be in jail? It is the most morally repugnant movie ever made.

    The TV series “My Mother the Car” imagined a mother reincarnated as a car. It was the dumbest thing ever written. But we don’t need it in our day to show what stupidity is. We have Milbank.

    The TV series “The Man in the High Castle” imagines a world in which Nazis won World War II. But we don’t need an alternative-history show to imagine a Soviet victory in the Cold War. We have Trump.

    If you think Donald Trump trusts the news media, you're beyond my help.

    1. Trump is only tweeting at his base, not the American people. 2. Trump doesn't mistrust the media. He seeks to sabotage the reporting of facts as fake news. But nice try.

    The bosses doing the blacklisting in the 1940s and 1950s were acting out of fear of boycotts of communist actors. The boycott of Carlson's advertisers is aimed at getting him fired. Both entailed leveraging corporate economic interests to silence political speech. (1)

    Replying to @glenngarvin
    A boycott is nothing like a blacklist. Every person is not a boss. Not everyone has wealth and power. NFL team owners refusing to hire Colin Kaepernick is not exactly like Tucker Carlson losing some advertisers.

    People demanding that corporations withdraw advertising until a targeted person is kicked off the air is indeed EXACTLY like keeping a list of a list of people not to hire.

    Yes, people choosing not to buy something is exactly like bosses keeping a list of people not to hire.

    How is boycotting advertisers to get them to force Tucker Carlson off the air different than the blacklist of lefty actors in the 1940s?
