I'm sure I'd feel worse about things if I weren't under such heavy sedation.

Read "Global Warming: What's In It For You?" at the link.

@jeffspross It deserves a place as one of the greatest so-bad-its-good movies of all time:

- Great cast (esp. Freeman and Rickman)
- Also, terrible cast (Costner's accent, Slater, the henchmen)
- Action sequence of some kind at least every 5 minutes
- Funny both intentionally and not

He's a dick, and this would only be a start, but it's good to see.

That parts of his district were on fire last night may have something to do with it.

This week, I am introducing the Ending Qualified Immunity Act to eliminate qualified immunity and restore Americans’ ability to obtain relief when police officers violate their constitutionally secured rights.

I try to resist focusing on his latest buffoonery, especially when so, so much serious shit is going down. But . . . this is fucking hilarious.

German soccer has more sense and less rona than most police departments.

Pro tip: This is how to write an accurate headline.

"And when you at war, you need a fucking enemy. And pretty soon, damn near everybody on every corner is your fucking enemy. And soon the neighborhood that you're supposed to be policing, that's just occupied territory."

In some states, Covid hospitalizations are rising. Select states here where Covid admissions have increased in the recent week.

From Prof. @danikathleen, here is the context for evaluating how poorly the mainstream press is covering last night's nationwide police riot.

Let's see how various outlets are, hmm?

[Charlie Sweatpants @CSweatpants]

It's amazing that journalistic outfits can lead with these kinds of headlines when all of this exists, but they do.

You see terms like "show of force" and "maintaining governance" and think, hey, maybe The Nation's got itself in a twist over nothing, another paranoid DoD plan, like if we ever have to liberate Newfoundland or seize some old guano islands.

Then again . . .

Situations like this are a Bat-Signal for assholes: rich anarchists, winger nutjobs, millenarians of various kinds, and undercover narcs.

While I’m certainly okay with protests and looting, I’m also aware that there are white agitators at these protests doing a lot of the worst property damage. They’ll go home and won’t be the ones targeted or derided as thugs “destroying their own communities”

American banking is a thoroughbred breeding program for world class assholes with Trumpian immunity to shame and accountability.

Meanwhile, Richard Burr lost his committee gavel and is still in hot water.

Selective prosecution of *Republican* senators is a hell of a power move.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Unreal. Bill Barr’s DOJ has dropped its insider trading investigations into Kelly Loeffler and other Senators. No charges will be filed. https://t.co/IqziOx4LiM

[Scott Lemieux @LemieuxLGM]

Your periodic reminder that Donald Trump's first confirmed Attorney General was considered too racist to be a federal judge by a Republican Senate, and his second one is somehow even worse

[Charlie Sweatpants @CSweatpants]

Christ, what an asshole.

GWB would have done a better job *pretending to care about the deaths incurred* and pretty much no other aspect of this. Did you sleep through Hurricane Katrina?
