We are taking today off to celebrate Juneteenth, everybody, but I write tabs yesterday. And I guess I will write some today too for tomorrow, so “day” “off.”
Don’t worry, I will be as lazy with these and those as I can. Lazy, brutish, and short.
Everybody subscribe to The White Pages to thank Garrett Bucks for watching and explicating DW Griffiths’ — yes, that DW Griffiths — hundred-year-old Intolerance, still as fresh as Bari Weiss today! (The White Pages)
This is a good paragraph from The Fucking News.
In addition to the actual fatalities caused by right-wing, libertarian, anarchist, death-worshiping laws, America has also suffered the staggering loss of millions of fictional lives claimed by the Great Fictional Crime Waves that consume the nation any time a Democratic president takes the oath of office. The fictional bloodshed caused by Antifa and Black Lives Matter went unanswered by then-Pres. Donald Trump for some reason possibly related to its non-existence, and has gotten exponentially pretendily worse under the Biden crime cartel.

The Economic Policy Institute regularly releases figures showing the genuinely outrageous amounts CEOs pull down; the last report found that at the 350 largest companies, CEOs made an average of 344 times more than the typical worker.

Seems like The Youth are catching up again after their awful pandemics. Graduation rates continue to increase in Michigan (Chalkbeat Detroit) and are beating pre-pandemic rates in Los Angeles (LAUSD). Meanwhile, I was dicking around at the Census site, and even though a full third of Detroiters are living in poverty (ouchhhh), only six percent of Detroit residents are without health care??? That’s a serious BIG FUCKING DEAL and THANKS OBAMA.

If you are shopping on Amazon anyway, using this link gives us a small commission on everything you buy until you check out (unless you close the tab first, obviously).
We are partnered with Martie, for two good purposes: keeping overstock out of landfills, and also saving hella money. We get a commission when you buy, and I wouldn’t have it here if I didn’t like it.
This is not a link to buy anything, it is a button, for give us money.
