Do you see that track of brown leading up to Charlie? That is where Charlie puts the brakes on when chasing squirrels … the hole under the fence is right there. I laid sod out to fill it in about three weeks ago. What was I thinking?

For our British, Australian, and New Zealand friends, SOD in America is grass that is cut in rectangles or rolls to lay out. I know, it has quite a different meaning where you live.

@ProPublica

ProPublica has the receipts. In the form of county tax records AND a deed. Harlan Crow, real estate tycoon, spent 133,000 on two empty lots and Thomas' mom's house in 2014. Gee...

And, for everyone sweatily typing out how this isn't illegal..."A federal disclosure law passed after Watergate requires justices and other officials to disclose the details of most real estate sales over $1,000. Thomas never disclosed his sale of the Savannah properties. That appears to be a violation of the law, four ethics law experts told ProPublica."

Notice how when Republicans do crazy shit like "expel members of the Tennessee legislature for protesting school shootings" there's no hand wringing in the media about how this will change norms and open the GOP up to retaliation from the Dems the same way there is with Trump being prosecuted.

I always see parents talking big in comments sections of news stories that are about injustices to other kids. “Nobody better do that to my child!”

Yet, here we are as a country where the number 1 cause of death for children is gun violence, and I still see so many parents who are “not political” or quietly voting Republican.

All big talkers until the country’s kids, including theirs, actually need their protection. All hypocrites and cowards.

Happy Neil Banging Out The Tunes Day to those who celebrate!

This probably would have been better for #ThrowbackThursday but it's typical for me to be a day late. If you lived in #Atlanta in the 90's or 00's the #Roxy marquee may be in your memories?

If I could make $700 I can make this move without too many worries. I have items for sale in my shop. I have until the 31st and then I'll be homeless. Here is the link to my shop

Love. As much as you can, as many as you can, as often as you can.

Sorry Nancy Pelosi, you’re wrong

Whatever legacy Dianne Feinstein had is now severely tarnished

From the hug-heard-round-the-world with Lindsey Graham, to her refusal to promote the younger generation and pass the torch

Dianne Feinstein needed to resign …YEARS ago

What’s your take? I would like to hear it.

@mmasnick I’m calling for a total and complete shutdown of tech executives roaming free in San Francisco until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

@mmasnick I think we all know the correct policy here is an aggressive police response to the threat of violent tech crime: they need strict curfews, stop and frisk, and probably a tech focused police task force. This has to be full on broken windows policing. If you see a group of tech execs congregating anywhere they could potentially commit a crime—street corners, bars, convention centers, conference rooms—then you need to call the cops to come and break that up. We need to take this seriously, lest our cities be taken over by a wave of tech on tech crime.

@mmasnick so I guess the problem is that the city is not jailing enough tech execs
