The hidden dangers of Musk’s votesafe.org

But Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, is funding an aggressive advertising campaign encouraging people in key states to check their registration status at a different website, votesafe.org. That website is run by America PAC, Musk’s super PAC.

This feels like something that shouldn't be allowed, but then I thought back to when I used Vote Save America and they don't direct me to the state site either, but rather use BallotReady. BallotReady sure does appear to be more reputable, but who knows what they do with the data they receive...

South Park Shares a Cheeky, Trump-Inspired Name Change Ahead of Season 29

“Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of ‘South Park’ to ‘South America,’” Parker and Stone said in a statement. “We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount — a Skydance Capitulation.”

South America is some Grade-A marketing, which is no surprise from these guys. I know they’ve always pushed boundaries, but I absolutely love that they’ve ratcheted things up over the last few years.

New York’s rich lash out at ‘shameful’ Mamdani plan to tax second homes

“Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful,” he said. “I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants. If we’re not there, there are going to be less people being paid.”

Ken Griffin is such an idiot and I'm so glad he left my beautiful home town of Chicago. If you're not there driving up costs of real estate, then regular people can start to afford a home and a storefront to employ other people so all parties can make a reasonable living—rather than the minimum wage this asshole's restaurants—or whatever other businesses he owns—probably pay. You don't need to make billions in profit to be a "successful business person." Instead you can pay your employees a fair wage so they can live a comfortable life while still making a nice chunk of change for yourself at the same time.

A Review of Director Ka$h Patel’s FBI Bourbon

It’s certainly a rare bourbon, the kind of bottle you only get by calling in lots of favors (or having something really damning on your supplier). But is the Director Ka$h Patel Kash Patel FBI Director edition Woodford Reserve bourbon destined to sit alongside a King of Kentucky 17-year? A Heaven Hill 22? Or a POTUS 47? We’ll have to wait and see. You’ll know because we’ll tell you. It’s doing a great job. It’s a critical part of your liquor cabinet. Even though you might not see it back there, hiding behind taller bottles, it’s suited for regular, if not excessive, drinking.

I love that the President who doesn't drink seems to have a thing for bringing on wimpy, whiny, alcoholic men who were bullied too much in kindergarten into his administration. Do these fools do anything all day besides attempting to convince people they shouldn't be fired?

Global affairs journalist David Rothkopf wrote today in The Daily Beast: “Not since Vietnam have we seen a more systematic effort by an administration to lie about the nature, costs, consequences, and results of a war than we have seen from the White House on Iran.”

They've painted themselves into a losing corner and won't admit it so they continue to do everything they can to deflect and deny reality, extending things out further and further. And to think, if only Trump hadn't pulled out of the original Iran deal, we'd never be here. But that would just be too easy and too sane, now, wouldn't it.
