these things take time to percolate up through the system but who the fuck in their right minds is going to want to do business in a state that is paying out bounties to narc on your employees? and who is going to want to work in that environment?
and if I’m an employer why am I not immediately suspicious everyone is looking for a way to narc me out as an aider & abettor? im going to willingly do business in a state where EVERYONE has a financial interest in busting me for imagined crimes? it’s completely fucking insane.
used to be a clear understanding that vexatious litigation is a major impediment to a state’s economy - this is why the GOP platform for years was DEREGULATE ALL TEH THINGZ. ah good perfect a zero regulatory libertarian paradise NOW TO TURN EVERY EMPLOYEE INTO AMBULANCE CHASER
imagine deciding you want to set up in a state where “I saw dick and jane fucking in the supply room, and then I heard dick say you told him to take a company car to drive jane out of state, I’m turning you in for the cash, and if you fire me it’s retaliatory” is a real thing
this law is hell. pure unadulterated socioeconomic hell. texas turned their state into an uninhabitable litigation wasteland overnight.

every one of these jokes is a masterclass in writing and delivery. you can hear them thirty times and they’re never less funny.
if you want some perspective on exactly how good this material/delivery combo is, try to imagine jimmy fallon doing the same lines without groaning
that mid-to-late 90’s snl class shaped so much of my sense of humor growing up & my outlook in general. I cannot imagine who I would be without them. just a remarkable collection of different talents. norm was my favorite & I catch myself doing a form of his deadpan daily

here is the problem: if he feels compelled enough to strip the CINC out of the chain so he can’t nuke portland or something, he needs to feel equally compelled to park his ass before congress an hour later to share that information quite publicly. this can’t come out on his terms
I agree with cutting a very clearly deranged trump out of the loop. but when BOB WOODWARD is the way this info goes public, NINE MONTHS LATER, you’ve created a tidy little cover-up that is ripe for repeat performance
general milley is strongly suggesting that had bob woodward or some other character not chanced by looking for juicy nuggets, the american people were never to be told that whoops he just usurped the chain of command & went on serving & never felt compelled to mention this?

this freeze frame of a disheveled michael tracey ranting on the sidewalk holding some sort of james bond antenna suitcase as a garbage truck drives by is my only friend in the world
have spent ten fruitless minutes googling “antenna briefcase” and “suitcase karaoke” trying to decipher this mystery
my best guess is he cut a hole in a briefcase and shoved an old boom box with a whip antenna in there

because if a tenth of them die, they still have 90% left to sell junk cures and covid contrarianism to. but if 90% of them get the vaccine, they don’t need to buy any more own-the-libs covid solutions
it’s extremely icky to consider but if the biden admin wanted to end vaccine hesitancy, they’d cut a bunch of off-the-record deals with right wing media to buy hundreds of thousands of fake subscriptions to shops like wex & the federalist in exchange for a pro-vax editorial slant
I am about 95% sure this is the loophole GOPers have been exploiting for years to funnel money from PACs directly into RW media without leaving a trace: just buy fake subscriptions

this is the ivermectin story - not ivermectin, but how it’s just a plug-and-play monetized industry that is driven by forces vastly larger than a bunch of dopes with facebook poisoning eating horse paste. until this becomes the narrative there will be dozens more ivermectin sagas
the financial interests driving the anti-vaxx movement are doing so from a perspective that says people taking a vaccine that eliminates the need to take various miracle cures is depriving them of a marketing opportunity
that the covid vaccines are so remarkably effective at their job at a price point of *free* is a terrifying threat to the right wing miracle cure economy

justin fields learning valuable lessons from andy dalton on how to turn a 5 yard sack into a 15 yard sack
very important follow-up lesson on fluttering a 4th & 15 sideline route two yards short of the sticks, it’s good to see what a pick six ball looks like in realtime
we have to ruin our talented rookie quarterback psychologically by forcing him to watch a guy who rates at sub-backup levels so we don’t ruin him psychologically by letting him play
