I wrote about billionaires. I didn’t mention how there are no ethical billionaires and I neglected to include a recipe for preparing them with carrots and onions and a nice gravy.

But I did cover just how wildly wealthy a very small number of Americans are, how raising their income tax would barely affect them, and why we should do it immediately.

@mathowie they should graciously accept an increased income tax lest we start needing to talk total wealth taxes.

It's been a minute since I've done a music question, so here goes:

Who is an artist/band that you're annoyed you like?

@RickiTarr I don't tell anyone how much I dig old Buck Owens and Louvin Brothers stuff. Would lose a lot of street cred.

I hate to sound old but is it just me or was broadcast TV back in the 80's and 90's a lot better than what we have now quality wise?

@gamblingblues@mastodon.online avatar

@BlackAzizAnansi you say that, but feel free to go through any 80s or 90s video here and see if you still agree: https://youtube.com/@RwDt09?si=3Te5VdEbzQKe1pgJ

Channel has just the opening credits for TV shows premiering in each year. Pure nostalgia goodness.

A That's The Worst Question!

What is the worst moment from one of your favorite TV shows?

CW Spoilers if this is a pretty recent show!

gamblingblues,
@gamblingblues@mastodon.online avatar

@RickiTarr @waitworry depends on what defines "worst," but I'd say the last couple minute montage at the end of Futurama's "Jurassic Bark" episode was dirty pool by the writers.

Welcome to another day in the American media hellscape where the former president spent his weekend posting anti Semitic memes and when you point out how hard it is to get a decently paying full time job reporting the truth instead of both sides bullshit, you get hate mail including threats of rape and suggestions that you are a communist.

Don't get me wrong I am an American who loves her country but too many of its people are beyond exhausting.

@Brandi_Buchman much love your way to keep on keeping on. Go get a popsicle today, sit on the grass somewhere and give yourself a few minutes to just enjoy a bit of peace. That's my wish for you.

Twitter expats - What are your most wholesome memories from Twitter? Mine would probably be the time that Donald Glover's dad liked my tweet which said "The only Donald that we acknowledge is Donald Glover" a few months before he passed.

@BlackAzizAnansi the night Obama announced we got bin Laden was Twitter at its finest. Speculation in the hours leading up to the announcement was so fun to follow.

@serpicojam just visited West Michigan and I remember forty years ago you could count on every town over there to have at least one Dutch bakery. Miss those fresh windmill cookies for sure. Rip Awreys.

I knew someday I'd get too old to recognize new celebrities but I did not expect to get too old to recognize what celebrities are famous for. every day I go "is that a new singer" and then a person born in 2007 goes "ew no they're a peeble streamer on doop" as I inch closer to the grave

We just want to quickly say how great we think Mastodon is. We experience an inclusive community culture here and believe that you are building a piece of utopia here.

We are aware that some creators have made different experiences and don't gain followers at all. We consider ourselves lucky to have been part of the first wave when Mastodon hit the media.

This place needs to be a counterpart to X and all the toxic corners that exist on the internet. Please preserve it and stay kind.

The federal grand jury hearing evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election just handed up an indictment of three individuals, widely expected to include a second indictment of Donald Trump in a separate case charging actions trying to overturn that election.

The special counsel will make a statement shortly. Currently a bit delayed and unclear by how much. But when it airs shortly, that statement will be live here: https://www.c-span.org/video/?529681-1/special-counsel-jack-smith-delivers-statement

@ronsboy67@mas.to avatar

A question for fans, @arsenalfc.social and anyone from @gunners who might see this:
The screenshot shows a paragraph from the Athletic's news item about a rape case involving a PL figure. It says this person was recently investigated about a rape complain then mentions another case from the 1990s. Surely that means the unnamed figure can't be the Arsenal player, since he was only born in the 90s?

gamblingblues,
@gamblingblues@mastodon.online avatar

@ronsboy67 @arsenalfc.social @gunners confident this is another case entirely. Likely not a current player, is my assumption

My buddy Stuart mailed me a of Mark Guiliana’s LP Mischief that he’d bought in at one of Mark’s shows.

It’s cool as hell.

But I no longer own a cassette deck!

Question: are the the kids playing these on cassette decks and in car stereos like we did?

@serpicojam they need to bench Hebert, I assume he's still the quarterback.
