This ties into my criticism of Crypto. I understand make-believe. I sell make-believe for a living. Cryptocurrencies are make-believe money. If I’m going to buy make-believe, I’d rather buy a used John D MacDonald paperback. It has more real world value! It’s better fiction.
SHINING GIRLS (Apple+): This is exactly what streaming was made for. Scary and involving, well acted and sumptuously made, it's a novel for the eyes and the mind.
@BillKristol You might want to read Jennifer Haigh's thoughtful new novel, "Mercy Street." It's about what it's like to work in a women's health clinic constantly surrounded by protesters whom you, strangely, didn't mention in this tweet.
Exxon Mobil and Shell report record profits while consumers worldwide choose between food for their tables or gas to go to their jobs. USA Today reports their profits were billions of dollars.
This is wrong.
Senator Rick Scott released an Ultra-MAGA Agenda.
It could raise taxes on 75 million American families.
Under this new plan, while big corporations and billionaires would pay nothing more, working-class folks are going to pay a hell of a lot more.
Remember that Susan Collins voted for Party Boy Kavanaugh. She says she believed him when he told her Roe was settled law. If true, her credulity makes her unfit for her position and she should resign.
I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental. Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned.
We will be ready when any ruling is issued.
At the federal level, we will need more pro-choice senators and a pro-choice majority in the House to adopt legislation that codifies Roe, which I will work to pass and sign into law.
I have no Elon Musk conspiracy theories about this, but I seem to have somehow offended the Twitter algorithm. My tweets are making half the impressions they used to, and it's rare that I get more than a couple of likes or replies.
Time to start shitposting!
Robert Goddard writes amazing novels of mystery/suspense (not available in America--boo!). His new one is magical and the title is simply the best: THIS IS THE NIGHT THEY COME FOR YOU. How ominous is that? 😀
