A fascinating article in Time Magazine talks about ways that cities are changing their economic systems. They focus on Amsterdam, but it turns out that there are cities all over the world that are doing this. This is related to the rise of “B Corporations“. Most corporations are “C Corporations” (although there are also “S […]
This post probably isn’t about what you think it might be about from the title. It is about the curious fact that countries and US states with conservative leaders are doing a better job of getting people vaccinated than countries with progressive leaders. This comes from an interesting article in (of all places) the NY […]
Randy Rainbow to the rescue. Two comments: Didn’t anyone ever teach her to wear a mask properly? When she says “Q is a patriot”, Randy should have pointed out that Q has already abandoned her. From the NY Times: But since Mr. Trump’s defeat, Q has gone dark. No posts from the account bearing Q’s […]
The Republican Party is destroying itself. Here are the results of a survey comparing the net favorability of several GOP congresspeople. That’s right, Marjorie Taylor Green is the new congresscritter who is racist, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic, believes in QAnon and that the presidential election was stolen, blames the wildfires in California on Jewish laser satellites, […]
Can somebody explain why I’m getting most of my information about the whole GameStop story from humorous comics? For example, the same thing is now being done to silver futures. And gold futures might be next. Let me be clear, I’m not saying that the manipulation of GameStop’s stock is a good thing. The only […]
This is a fascinating video listing 12 things (or accomplishments) that Trump supporters like about him. It also adds two additional things. Watch until the end to see how it all turns out. After you watch the video, here’s the link he talks about. But definitely watch the video first.
As an avowed pragmatist, I am always trying to figure out what works. Which is why I love Kate McKinnon asking “What Still Works?” in last night’s SNL cold open:
First, Trump had a very hard time finding lawyers to defend him in his impeachment trial. Now he is bleeding the few lawyers he was able to find. Five of his lawyers quit on Saturday night. And the Senate has a deadline of Tuesday for Trump’s lawyers to submit a memo laying out his defense, […]
I’m sure that everyone has heard about a bunch of people on Reddit turning the tables on large short selling investors. A reasonably good summary of it is an article on CNN Business titled “The real shock of the GameStop mania was that it didn’t happen sooner“. Or as Jon Stewart says — in his […]
Now it all makes sense! In “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” Linus from Peanuts worships the Great Pumpkin. More recently, members of QAnon worship a mythical orange leader named Donald J Trump. Both names have the same number of letters! That can’t be a coincidence! In case you don’t know what The Storm is, […]
Trump’s hold on the Republican Party is only getting worse. Is there any hope for the country?
Being quarantined during the pandemic is a horrible drag, but you know, there are some good things that have come out of it. Like having time to work on something with few distractions, doing more gardening, cooking or home repair, more walks, hikes, or bike rides, spending more time with a spouse or family member, […]
Bernie Sanders has been getting quite a bit of attention just for sitting in his chair during the inauguration, wearing his famous coat and a big pair of mittens. I’m not sure how many memes have been created from that, putting Bernie sitting somewhere else. But this is the one that made me laugh the […]
… the more they stay the same. If you thought that Trump’s defeat would give the GOP pause to wonder if maybe, just maybe, they are doing something wrong… Well, then you are wrong. Isn’t there some saying about “fool me twice?”
I absolutely loved the inauguration. Amanda Gorman especially stole my heart. Yo-Yo Ma melted my soul. Can you identify everyone in this comic?
