Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

In a corridor aboard the Enterprise (Strange New Worlds), we see Cadet Uhura holding a PADD and doing some kind of dance or jig with her left knee raised in the air. To the right is "Weird Al" Yankovic who has kicked his left leg straight up in the air...to the point that it looks inhuman.

This film is a treasure. A great on ramp to John Waters movies.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Trump’s DOJ claims it’s cracking down on fraud.

Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned 70+ allies, donors, and insiders convicted of fraud.

So what exactly is this “war on fraud”?

Defense Secretary Hegseth intervened to stop promotions of Black and female officers Four Army officers were on track to become one-star generals, NPR confirms. Defense secretary Pete Hegseth's involvement in the promotion process is highly unusual.

The Nazi SOW.

(funny how Secretary Of War acronym spells Female Pig?).

The racist who was deemed unfit for a posting to Washington DC due to his white supremacist tattoos is now blocking promotions of Black & Female soldiers who risked their lives to serve.

Today's GOP

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power.

They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals.

Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

I approve this message.

More corruption in plain sight.

Tonight's rewatch was FRIENDLY PERSUASION (1956). One of Wyler's lesser films, which means it still has more lovely moments than most other movies you'll ever see. It perhaps needs a bit more story heft in its serious second half, but Cooper, McGuire, and Perkins are heavyweight actors, so it works.

I have absolutely no doubt that come the midterms the GOP in Texas is going to do every single thing it can to suppress votes, including causing as much confusion as possible on Election Day. The GOP cannot afford to lose the midterms in Texas so be prepared for all kinds of shenanigans.

I love early voting in my area. It avoids the utter bullshit of them sending us all over town to separate locations to vote.
But you know what? Instead of a voting DAY, we should be having a voting WEEK so lines aren't forcing this situation in the first place.

Glock pistol used in deadly shooting at Old Dominion University was illegally sold to shooter, a convicted felon under probation, by a man federal ATF agents knew was selling guns illegally. He previously received a "warning letter" & had to write an apology.

It's time to enforce our gun laws

so the prosecutor essentially argued swastikas are pro-trump.
