The “great” thing about England is that when these articles come out and you google the person who wrote them it’s not something boring like “their dad is a trust fund manager” it’s “their dad is a baron, their grandfather edited the newspaper this appears in, and their family founded the private Bank of England”

*all true of this writer

Sandra Day O'Connor just died, following Henry Kissinger to hell.

To her:

• A 50-year to life sentence without parole for petty shoplifting was not cruel and unusual punishment.

• The use of school vouchers for religious schools did not violate the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.

• The Gun-Free School Zones Act was unconstitutional.

• Ruled to cease challenges to the results of the 2000 presidential election, in practice achieving a judicial coup for her right-wing party.

Today I received an irresistible offer.

A publisher claims to have staff writers to write a book for me, and because I am an unknown author, they will also market the book I did not write for me. All I have to do is loan them my name and suggest a topic.

I smell #ChatGPT.

I'm sorry, I cannot take seriously any article that describes Vivek Ramaswamy as a "businessman" instead of the far more accurate "pharmaceutical fraudster".

Keizuke Serizawa (May 13, 1895 – April 5, 1984) was a Japanese textile artist whose work was a beautiful blend of traditional and modern.

He also made illustrations of Don Quijote de la Mancha as a ronin, including the famous scene of Don Quijote tilting at mills—in this case a water mill.

Bury me when I die

With luck

Today I cancelled all my subscriptions and deleted my #substack account with extreme prejudice.

I have been a paid supporter of Heather Cox Richardson and @parkermolloy in the past, and was considering becoming a paid subscriber of @jaykuo, but for the #Nazi stuff in that platform.

I will consider supporting authors whose opinions I value again when they are in a platform that does not equate #fascism with free speech.

@skykiss

In 2016, Cambridge Analytica sold voter information and public sentiment analysis to the Russians.

That allowed the GOP to microtarget those areas with disinformation.

Troll farms run by the Russian Internet Agency inundated users with lies & suppressed turnout.

It enabled Trump to win the electoral college by 70,000 votes in 3 swing states.

That's all it took for 167 million American women to lose their civil rights.

70,000 votes flipped using Facebook data
