Dave "Just the Facts" Amiott

All these guys SO desperate to say they created intelligent life with AI when raising a child is literally right there.

Remember, if they make this law, most places online literally cannot afford to do ID verification themselves and will have to outsource it, and the dominant business in that field currently is the one that is connected to Epstien-business-partner-owned fascist-surveillance-corporation Palantir.

my theory of the Harris campaign, which makes exactly nobody happy:

1. she was put in an incredibly deep and arguably insurmountable hole by Biden

2. she made significant errors, largely in not separating herself from him enough

3. her results were still in the upper range of plausible outcomes

Kristen Chenoweth is delightful, but that only goes so far.

The field is set: Meet the candidates officially running for California governor Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter and Tom Steyer are among 8 Democrats and 2 Republicans vying for California governor in the June 2 open primary.

A brief comment on show business taxonomy:

"Saturday Night Live" has Guest Hosts.

"The Muppet Show" had Guest Stars. Kermit was always the host.

Except, you know, when the show got taken over by pigs or something...

An ultrasound appeared in the Epstein files.
File: EFTA01166410

People started asking questions.
Now the document shows “No Images Produced.”

What happened to the image?
Whose child was it?

The thing is, FOUR dollars for a gallon of gasoline was outrageous, but I was just kind of used to it.

As I imagine a lot of people were.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

If Dems had their own Fox News and other cogs of a propaganda machine, Andrew Paul Johnson would become a household name a la Willie Horton.

Luckily, we have the energetic young Progressive names Chris Ahuja running to replace Brad Sherman in CA32.

He's passionate, motivated, and not a corporate stooge.

Star Wars action figures of Dedra Meero from "Andor" on both 3.75" and 6" scale, in package.

I don't have many 6" Star Wars action figures.

The ones I do have tend to be characters that I also have 3.75" versions.

Found another Marvel Legends Kaine, so I have 1 to open and 1 to keep sealed.

I like it.

Here's a comparison with my custom version from long ago.

This continues to be a good week for collectibles in the San Fernando Valley.

This Transformers "playset" was $20.

Hey, remember when the Cuyahoga River caught fire and Cleveland became a punchline for decades?

What if we did that for the whole state of Ohio?

Our government using dipshit AI to accidentally blow up a school full of little girls is so horrible I don't think we can actually process it. We've maxed out on horrible. All of this just makes everyone worse. No punchline.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

A Michael Nesmith performance I hadn’t seen before, from a David Frost appearance in October 1971…

I feel sad that the level of discourse in this country by and about professional military personnel has become so degraded (or, probably more likely, so muzzled by threats) that Hegseth's "No stupid rules of engagement" did not immediately arouse a ferocious response.

At a certain point, we have to come to grips with the fact that the contemporary Republican voter is functionally no different from the Germans who voted for Hitler 100 years ago.

As a reminder, this is the GOP a**hole that is running to represent TX-23, including Uvalde - the community that was traumatized by a mass shooter that killed 19 children, 2 adults and wounded 18 others.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

this post deserves to be presented to you by having an index card moved down word by word with photos taken of your face after every new reveal

LeBron James and I are the same age and with him it’s like “When will he retire?” and for everyone else who graduated high school our year it’s like: “We will never be able to retire.”

Look, it is not Markwayne Mullin's fault that his parents named him Markwayne.

It IS his fault that he never decided to tell people "You can just call me 'Mark'.", preferring instead to cast himself as a Good Ol' Boy (if not outright redneck/hayseed/hick).

He does not deserve any credibility.

Richard III, mostly because of the excellent production by the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express that I saw in college with a female Richard.

You know, I had forgotten Wonder Years because I was focused on traditional sitcoms (3-camera, shot in a studio, laugh track).

Wonder Years and Police Squad are the outliers.

And I don't mean to suggest that PERFECT STRANGERS isn't *enjoyable*, of course...
