And what's really great is that now, when they think they can discredit Trump by saying so, they admit they had no expectation that their mandates would have any positive effect. (Evidently Birx admits in her book that they made up the 6-ft rule just to have something to suggest.)
I'm expecting soon that someone will casually admit that they deployed COVID patients to nursing homes just to kill the old people who might be conservatives.

I have a TV, but I use it as a computer monitor; the PC sits beside it and I have a wireless mouse/keyboard setup. I've actually thought about getting an antenna; supposedly there are local channels that just show old movies ("The Mystery Channel", "The Western Channel", etc.) that sound sort of fun. But I'd never try to watch the "news" there any more.

The next tweet says this:

California’s AB 1052 does NOT mean the government will seize your Bitcoin. It applies unclaimed property rules to inactive exchange accounts, requiring assets be held (not sold) by the state. Your Bitcoin stays Bitcoin and can be reclaimed anytime.

Do a Google Image search for Betsy Schneider The Tub. That's evidently the picture that Jamie Lee Curtis had in her house. She posted and subsequently deleted a photo of it on display. Creepy shit.

There's a photographer that celebrities like to buy photos from who takes pictures of kids in pervy situations. I want to say Jamie Lee Curtis got tagged for having a big photo of a kid packed in a suitcase or something in her living room.

For a minute I thought she was screaming Ginsberg:

"a lost battalion of platonic conversationalists jumping down the stoops off fire escapes off windowsills off Empire State out of the moon, yacketayakking screaming vomiting whispering facts and memories and anecdotes and eyeball kicks and shocks of hospitals and jails and wars, whole intellects disgorged in total recall for seven days and nights with brilliant eyes, meat for the Synagogue cast on the pavement, who vanished into nowhere Zen New Jersey leaving a trail of ambiguous picture postcards of Atlantic City Hall"

What was crazy about that was that they'd claim that his dementia was fake, then they'd proudly release photos of Biden clutching note cards with little maps to get him offstage and pictures/names of reporters along with the questions they'd ask and the answers he was supposed to give. Who needed fakes when their propaganda was bad enough?

Community notes opines that it's fake, with elements indicating AI generation. Whether true or not, I am trying very hard to remember that I can trust nothing I see or hear implicitly now; literally anything can appear to be real but is not.

I get the opposite, usually: high numbers at home and closer to "normal" at the Doc's. Occasionally I'll go days with "normal" numbers w/o medication, but when it's high it's scary high.

P.J. O'Rourke said (of the communist-defeating 80s election in Nicaragua) "People don't stand in line for hours at the ass end of nowhere to vote for the status quo." So we'll see I guess.

Someone on X posted that it wasn't as bad as all that, that the case had merely been sent back down to a lower court for further modification.

Edit:

It's not as bad as you say. The Supreme Court sent the case back to the District Court with instructions to formulate a more specific order and with attention to the timing of payments. While the judge is working on that, the government is not obliged to pay anything. When the judge issues a new order, the government will appeal and this time the appellate courts will have more grist for the judicial mill.

No no no, they gas you, kidnap you to a mysterious village, assign you a number and start asking you why you resigned.

“I think my tip average from Republicans—at least ones that I or a coworker has recognized—is close to 30 percent. With Dems, I’m surprised if it’s over 20,” he says. At events he’s worked that are hosted by Republicans, the guests ask for no-fuss drinks like bourbon, vodka-sodas, or wine. At the Democratic events, he’s seen many more substitutions and special requests."
