Once again, and despite court orders & the federal law, Todd Blanche is trying to delay production in the Epstein Files; specifically, he doesn’t want to have to review & produce the foreign-language documents.
My latest filing exposes Blanche for his legal hackery.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it.
It was effectively banned as it never aired again.
I wonder why.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media.
Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

How do we make teaching a sustainable career? We need:
🎒Education budget tied to the defense budget
🎒Teacher minimum wage
🎒Strong teacher unions
🎒Investment in the paraprofessionals that a kid needs to be their best learner and so teachers can focus on teaching

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.
Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

Thank You, Buffalo Bills for standing up in support of Canada 🇨🇦. With them including the Canadian National Anthem shows that most of us, Americans support & love our neighbors, north of the border; even though we have an asshole criminal man-child running this country & wants to take over Canada.
Here's the Barenaked Ladies singing Canada's national anthem at the Buffalo bills game in their new stadium. 🇨🇦🍁 Queue violent ketchup versus the walls episode in the White House.

The family of a 37-year-old woman who died while pregnant filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and others, alleging state law prevented her from getting a potentially life-saving abortion.
Family of Texas woman who died after being denied an abortion sues Paxton, medical providers
“The basic principle here is you cannot take away someone’s life, as a state, and not be held liable for doing so,” a lawyer for the family said.
