Trump's wealth shrinks by $4 billion as his media company struggles (Aimee Picchi/CBS News)

"In the modern Republican Party, it’s kind of a huge thing when you decide that you’re not OK with terrorism against the US Capitol or coups against the United States to overturn elections, the results of which hurt Donald Trump’s feelings. Once you say no to those things, it’s a slippery slope to acting with integrity in other parts of life."

~ Evan Hurst on Liz Cheney's decision to vote for Harris

JOKE OF THE DAY

Teasing Putin says Russia backs Kamala Harris, cites her 'infectious' laugh

Does Putin REALLY believe Americans are that stupid to believe that garbage.....or is Putin that stupid?

Sounds sort of clever to me. Vlad ‘backs’ Harris, hoping the good people of US will not vote for her because Vlad backs her. Not sure the tactic will work but hey, any port in a storm.

good call

Kinda slow on the uptake though and unlikely to be followed so long as mr dead fish eyes is in charge of the biggest player



In case you missed it, and because it's fig season here in Pennsylvania, here's my post on wasps inside dried figs from Turkey. #figs #ficus #wasps #fruit #pollination #syconium #tmi #insects #entomology #TraderJoes colinpurrington.com/2023/01/so…

Leif Samuelsson reshared this.

in reply to Colin Purrington

I've ordered Spanish figs for the first time, arriving on Monday. Now I don't know if I want to eat them. I love fresh figs, but not Turkey so much. Time to get a microscope?

Ruth Ben-Ghiat on why Trump's constant attacks on the US military and his disrespectful political stunt at Arlington National Cemetery matter:

"Such attacks must be seen in context of his attachment to America's enemies, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping chief among them."

in reply to William Lindsey

"If you are aligned for ideological, financial or other reasons with autocrats whose goal is to take down America as a superpower, then you will see the immensely powerful and professional U.S. military as a big obstacle.

Everything Trump wants to do with and to the U.S. military may be seen as minimizing the global reach and influence of our armed forces abroad:"

in reply to William Lindsey

"withdraw from NATO, reorient some military resources to domestic repression, and pursue 'non-intervention' —a path that would make the imperialist conquests of Russia in Eurasia and China in the Pacific far easier.

This is the most sinister part of Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery. So many of his performances are meant for foreign eyes."

Are you signed up for emergency alerts? If not, you probably should be.

Here’s how to do it: themarkup.org/the-breakdown/20…

in reply to The Markup

I had mine set to severe and extreme alerts only. But I got one last night about a missing person, no threats to me or my community, complete with a bit[.]ly link indistinguishable from spam/phishing. I believe Trump sent the last one I received before that. No matter how well meaning, every single alert I've ever received has been hot garbage. No thanks.


Nikon’s bringing tiny camera replicas to Japanese vending machines.

The company has teamed up with Bandai Namco to create detailed miniature versions of two classic film cameras, the Nikon F and Nikon SP, and two modern digital cameras, the Nikon Z FC and Nikon Z9.

All of the replicas in the Nikon Miniature Collection are non-functional, but they do have removable lenses. Unfortunately, they’re currently only available from gashapon machines in Japan.

A young, apparently lifeless girl lies on a hospital bed at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, her pink roller skate still strapped to her foot.

An Israeli air strike had hit a building directly in front of the space where Tala and her friends regularly played.

"She insisted on going down to play with her friends. She kept nagging, saying that she would not be late," Tala’s father, Hussam, told Middle East Eye.

(1) François Ruffin on X: Michel Barnier va-t-il revenir sur la retraite à 64 ans ? Rétablir l'ISF ? Non, bien sûr que non : Macron l'a choisi à ces conditions. Donc nous le censurerons.


Élu depuis 1973, il cumule 51 ans de mandat. Politicien professionnel, casé et recasé au gré du vent, commissaire européen rémunéré pour ouvrir à la concurrence et délocaliser...
C'est tout, sauf le changement.
C'est la certitude que rien ne changera.

Weird broke him. Forget being adjudicated as a rapist or a fraud. Nothing has messed Trump up since he lost in 2020 like being called weird.

New in PN: JD Vance personifies the joylessness of MAGA

My nephew visited last weekend for #Chicago’s #BikeTheDrive and almost his entire music library was 20-30+ years old.

Metallica, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, The Smiths. Though he wasn’t aware of Pearl Jam, so minus 200 points there.

I just heard Rusted Root unironically on a TikTok video.

What (musical) timeline is this, cuz it’s amazing (musically). #music

Remember the mystique the 1960s had when you were a kid? Well...
