My tax bracket has been raised!

I just got a residual for … wait for it… $7.16!

Thank you The Jetsons!

Dear nonprofits:

I want to donate to support your cause. But when you insist on getting my full street address, you deter my donation.

All you need is my credit card number (with expiration and security code) plus zip code.

If your payment processor insists on this, please change payment processors.

Uh oh... The lobbying push for KOSA (a bill which purports to protect kids but will instead censor LGBTQ info from the Internet) is ramping up.

If you belong to any of these orgs, please tell them to stop supporting this trash.

All was going well today . . . then my editor emailed and asked if I could turn in the manuscript for my next book six months earlier my deadline. That makes the book due in 4 weeks.

Me: "Sure! I can do that!"

Also me = 😳

I'm fine with privatizing the FDIC and letting banks buy it. Oh, but one little caveat: we remove limited liability for banks. Shareholders are now 100% personally responsible for bank losses.

Private banks can be trusted not to wreck the economy, right? So what's the problem?

I'm leaving my body to pseudoscience.

Earth is literally the worst planet I’ve ever lived on

So it wasn’t all that peaceful, then?

I love this one!

"A liar, fraud, money launderer, indicted, hanger on-er is expelled from Congress, while a liar, fraud, money launderer, indicted, hanger on-er is leading the GOP race for President. This conundrum is not a conundrum at all. In fact, it’s a feature of today’s GOP."

All of the people going after Biden, calling him "Genocide Joe" and threatening to not vote for him because of his handling of the Israel/Palestine conflict...
Please look up project 2025 and listen to all the stuff Trump has been openly saying he will do if re-elected because that's what you're signing up for.
I'm not saying you should or shouldn't do anything, you're going to vote however you want and you absolutely should because that's how democracy works...
just realize that a democracy only works when you actually have one.

People who need to be begged to vote for a Democrat when the alternative is White Supremacist fascism aren't "allies".

How is it that democracy ending and civilization ending aren't good enough reasons to vote for Joe Biden.🤔 🙄

Pardon me if I don’t cry for millionaire Florida retirees who vote against my every interest…and are now feeling our pain! 😡
