Republican billionaire donors are funding legalized public corruption of the Supreme Court.
@edgeoforever @rbreich That sounds more like fascism to me than conservatism. Because the GOP has co-opted the word "conservative", people think that what they're selling is conservatism. It ain't.
@orci Yes. I go through 20 to 40 pounds of feed per week. Hungry little bastages.
The SEO arms race has left #Google and the web drowning in garbage text, with customers and businesses flailing to find each other - https://www.theverge.com/23753963/google-seo-shopify-small-business-ai
A Montana man who fired an AK-style rifle at the home of a lesbian woman and said he wanted to “get rid of” gay people in his small town has been sentenced to 18 years in prison. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-wanted-kill-gay-people-opened-fire-montana-town-sentenced-18-years-rcna89408
@rbreich Republicans have a different view of what law and order mean.
@HCBunny Come to think of it, I was born like that.

@joncounts Plastic ones became available 50 years ago and they're still just as crummy as they were then.
The fact that wooden ones are still readily available tells you all you need to know.
This is the exposé I wrote for The Guardian that killed off “Reverend” Pat Robertson’s billion-dollar financial scams parading under the banner of The Christian Coalition.
Note: The juiciest parts I got from Robertson himself, recorded on a miniature tape recorder hidden inside a fake cigarette lighter. No one asked why I had a lighter — but no cigarettes. The story won The Guardian a nomination for Britain’s Business Story of the Year.

@Teri_Kanefield How did she off-handedly know there are 33 bathrooms? Seems odd.
@confluency Exactly. Search has become a disaster because the net is flooded with "information" published by SEO experts.
Most of the time now, when I read an "informative" article about some topic or item, about a quarter of the way through I realize it was written by some guy in India who has no expertise in the field, but assembled information from other sources. Those articles often go on for pages and pages, saying the same things over and over using different wordings. Often there are ten different presentations of the same material.
Check the next seemingly unrelated site and it has the same text as the previous site, just arranged in a different order, or is an exact duplicate including the grammatical errors and incorrect usages of terminology.
The first page of search turns up nothing but this "content mill" gibberish. I hope serious students aren't using this crap to learn from.
@HCBunny Bahahaha.
@TruthSandwich Indeed. It's impossible to predict a twisted mind like his. If he planned to make off with secrets and sell them, yes, making secured copies should have been the very first thing done, immediately. Safeguarding everything also in order to retain the value of their secrecy.
But it wouldn't surprise me if they were just left in boxes piled in his bathroom. I don't understand how his mind works or if it works at all.
Trophies? Isn't being a former President of the United States enough??? An ex-president doesn't need trophies.
