Unbelievable

A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Low water levels in the Danube mean little or no hydroelectric power from the dams and locks. Normally you’d see the flow of water through these openings.

Regulate them, and make the pay traffic fines.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.

Holy COW. Text analysis of comments on the OMB rule: overwhelming opposition, overwhelmingly not form letters. (But 9 in 10 comments supporting the rule ARE form responses, LOL) Whatever happens next, folks have stepped up.

An America where working people can make ends meet, live comfortably, afford healthcare, and have aspirational lives. But billionaires can’t become trillionaires. That’s the nightmarish dystopia Democratic Socialists envision.

This, from Pelley's interview today, is such a good articulation of a problem I've had with so many of these MAGA people. The insulting hubris to take a job with no qualifications or experience. It sticks in my craw.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Unfortunately, the Islanders lost the hockey game, but we had a blast taking Bailey to the Islanders game on Saturday.

The Islanders are looking like they’ll miss the playoffs, and Trump may drag us into a nuclear war. Here’s a video of my grandson to cheer us up a bit.

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.

The war & AIPAC are nightmares, but so is Joe Kent, one of the most openly fascist figures in Trump’s regime, a comrade of Proud Boys and Fuentes, a man who says Black Lives Matter was a child trafficking ring, a guy who complains that Hitler is misunderstood. Don’t take the bait.

Shame on Senator Tuberville: Keep New York City out of your bigoted mouth. This Jewish New Yorker is proud that we elected our first Muslim mayor. (2/2)

Just watched “All That Jazz” again, what an amazing film. And the Criterion Blue Ray is a beautiful transfer.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
