Success in the arts is the most democratic of ventures in society. An audience votes on competing works with money.

There it is. Scott Besent is a moron. Some taxes are inflationary (tariffs) and others are deflationary (income tax). This guy’s daddy must have got him into Yale.
Some argue that tariffs are a tax on the American people and will be inflationary. By that logic, cutting taxes should be deflationary. Let’s pass @POTUS’ ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL, lower the burden on working families and businesses, and drive economic growth.

One of the most insidious feedbacks of rising CO2 is that it will make us dumber, and less well equipped to stop it.

WTAF? Now Trump is blocking Australia sending our old Abrams tanks where we want! (Link) Time to stop buying any arms from America. Let’s buy the K1 Black Panther tank design from South Korea and build our own main battle tank - just like we turned their AS9/10 mobile howitzers.
M1A1 Abrams tanks, which Australia was supposed to deliver to Ukraine as part of a $245 million military aid package, have still not left Australia - ABC. This is due to the delay by the Trump administration, which has suspended military aid to Ukraine. In the case of

Illiterate climate deniers now citing a study that is actually titled “China and India lead in greening of the world through land-use management” as proof of the something else entirely. 🤣 Dumbasses.

The new novel I’m almost finished on was originally just called ‘Prison.doc’ (pic). Back then, filenames were only allowed to be 8 letters in length. It was October 1993. As far as I can tell, these 32 years may spell a new record for the most time an author has spent writing a

US Democrats did nothing about superPACs when they held office. Now they’re surprised billionaires can buy the government? Trump is as much their fault, and the fault of those who didn’t vote at all, as he is the fault of Republicans.

When US tariffs add 5% CPI, the rest of us are sub 2%, and the greenback is toilet paper, it will be hard not to laugh. Americans made a guy who bankrupted 5 casinos their President.
