“All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.”
–George Orwell

Grocery prices are about to soar – Paul Krugman.
I'm hoping there will be coherent articles on
Krugman: Trump Voters About to Be Shocked at How Badly He Scammed Them
(Here's the Krugman Interview.)
If you are considering any significant purchases involving foreign goods, I'd suggest you buy before January 21, 2025. Presidents can set tariffs — and higher tariffs are one consistent thread in Trump's "thinking" since he stepped up his visibility on politics.
Don Old Trump keeps referring to his "mandate," but now I get it. It's all his bro time with Elon–Man Date!
Has anyone noticed that the sky seems more blue and the clouds are brilliant white? If not you may need cataract surgery. What marvelous science. If you are in the age range, go for the premium lens. It's like turning on HD television.
Well that HDTV is going to go up in price and the sky being blue is science. But welcome back, tiny lil fascist.
Congratulations on improved vision, Pear.
While we no doubt do NOT see eye to eye, nor am I likely to see the evidence for rising crime, rising inflation, and a "landslide" for Trump, I'm delighted your restored sight brings you more vivid colors.
Ok, a bit different subject today.
The Coming AI Pause
We're about to hit a slow period in AI improvements
Resistance takes many forms.
Drag queens putting on bingo events at senior citizen centers is one form of cultural outreach. The "Drag Bingo" event yesterday at Eaton Senior Center drew 50 plus seniors, armed with bingo cards , competing for various tchotchkes for prizes, Ms. Iman, Boyish Charm, and others pranced, danced, sang, did karaoke, and called out the bingo numbers.
My conservative baptist-funded senior apartment complex residents ate it up. So even if they voted for Trump, as many did, and don't approve of inclusive education, and suspect that the country may be on the wrong track, they at least now know that drag queens are people, with all that implies about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
RFK, Jr. for DHHS head. Well, effective vaccine science was fun while it lasted. Looking forward to children's measles deaths and tooth decay.
From WaPo's Catherine Rampell on Bluesky:
FFS. Employable? Cognitively impaired has become not only a highly desirable personnel trait, it's now also a mandatory job prerequisite for Trump's cabinet.
(The MAGA defense to invoking the 25th amendment — "He's a stable genius! Who's gonna' seriously listen to that gaggle of crazies?")
good news … the feds only recommend — the states are the source of vaccination requirements.
Here in Colorado, Polis has already fought off stricter mandates for vaccines — one of the reasons he's enthusiastic about RFK to "shake up" HHS.
Only if they don't rescind the FDA authorizations. Might be time to get that tdap booster or RSV vaccine before the end of January.
This gives states license to become more lax. I worked in virology, immunology, and vaccine development and the sad fact is that American people are going to die if RFK gets appointed. Besides the anti-vaccine bullshit he shills, he doesn't believe in pasteurization and promotes raw milk. As for Polis, fuck him. His libertarian bullshit streak and presidential ambitions led him to do what he did yesterday. I'm done with him.
Make Polio Great Again!
Uri Geller for Chief of the Psychic Surgery Department! And finally, Voodoo Witch Doctors get the professional recognition they've deserved for decades!
At least with Polis' endorsement of RFK Jr as HHS secretary we can finally kill off all the nonsensical chatter of him as a 2028 contender. The only thing cheering on Polis now is polio.
He's lost my vote for any office, ever.
Well, I suppose Polis thinks curtailing vaccinations will be one way to start belt-tightening that Medicaid budget?
“Kids, poor folks, citizens with disabilities — In these challenging times I say, ask not what your State can do for you, but rather ask what your State can deny to you (to save our wealthiest of your betters some of their pocket change)!”
Well I guess he's fully out of the closet now as a libtardtarian and can stop pretending to be a democrat. Anyone taking bets on whether Maroln gives the press a tour of the governor's mansion wearing a wolf furry suit before Polis is out of office?
