I was watching a level of lying on CNN yesterday that was so breathtaking, I still struggle to understand it. I’m trying not to jump to anger because anger doesn’t help me. (Plus, ‘jumping to anger’ is pretty much Chockamo’s job description, and he does it so much better.) It was an impossible mix of disingenuous lying and misogyny. I wrote a couple of notes […]
Some things are hard not to notice. Like Trump telling Mexico to drop dead. After Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, Mexico offered significant aid to America. They provided huge support after Hurricane Katrina, with meals, portable water treatment facilities, and the like, and they made a similar offer now to Texas. They did this despite Trump’s insults because denying aid to hurting people would be insane. […]
Pity the poor Donald. Poor, poor baby. I routinely wince through Trump’s Twitter feed because it’s helpful in…. No, I guess it’s not really ‘helpful’. OK, so I read his thumb-ings because that’s how he shows what he believes…. No, no, not that either. He doesn’t believe anything beyond his own greatness (which he doesn’t really believe, either). That and all those scary brown people […]
There are any number of theories about Hurricane Irma, and Harvey before it. The amount of unadulterated crazy on display is… educational. But I think they’re all missing the point. Apparently, big storms don’t just happen. That would be too random. But they aren’t being made worse by climate change, either. That would be too non-random; too unbelievable. Human activity is too small to change […]
Charlottesville events are dropping off the news cycle. And we all got played. The Alt-Right came out as heros, and the antifacists set themselves up to be vilified.
The Equifax breach is more damaging than you think. Worse, if you’re reading this, you’re probably affected, too.
With the appointment of a political hack to the EPA, Republicans are corrupting science. They’re deciding who gets government grants based on politics, not science.
Jesus, you fuckwit! The Articles of Impeachment were a list of crimes! They weren’t a goddamn recipe book! I was re-reading Congress’s Articles of Impeachment against Nixon. Chilling stuff. But it’s like Trump struggled to fit each Nixonian element into his busy schedule. Here’s Article 1, the first and presumably most important part: In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, […]
