I too spent some of my childhood in the American South, and also several years in my 40s. My distaste for the South is well informed, and it’s my only prejudice that doesn’t embarrass me.

There are good people and bad people everywhere, and smart people and stupid people everywhere, but there’s a noticeably higher percentage of bad, stupid people in the South.

Holy crapoli, the memories this triggers. Suffice to say I am soooooo glad to be retired.

I ain’t arguing.

I don’t want to kick the original author while they’re down, but PayPal is a known shit company, and has been almost from the start. It’s closely related to the leopards-ate-my-face phenomenon — if you’re willing to work for a shit company, expect shit.

Tracking people across the internet ought to be forbidden by law.

I’ve wondered, too. Is it driven by an obsessive hatred of Arabs and Muslims? The Christian Right’s fetish for armageddon? Oil? Kickbacks?

The road to today was littered with “Trump is nuts, but he’s not nuts enough to do that.”

I’d seen the headlines, but most — like TPM’s — haven’t included the name Brent Bozell. He’s quite reprehensible, even by Trump standards. Young folks might need an introduction.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook which is reason enough to make a move.

Hakeem Jeffries, is that you?

I’m sure it was meant as sarcasm, but it’s obviously true.

Fun fact: Pinkerton is tanned, rested, and ready to go.

Harshly said, but correct. A one-day change in spending is piffle. Anyone participating in this is participating in piffle. Make a serious, long-term change in your spending patterns and it might, arguably, add up to something, but this is … I don’t even know what this is, but I’m not doing it.

Israel will face justice for its crimes

When and where?

The fuck is G7 anyway, but the face of global capitalism?

Just doublechecking my premises, there’s this from Investopedia:

The Group of Seven is an intergovernmental organization made up of the world’s largest developed economies: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Government leaders of these countries meet periodically to address international economic and monetary issues, with each member taking over the presidency on a rotating basis…

Yeah, fuck 'em, but all is forgiven if G7 has the balls to expel America.

You know, there’s a lot going on in the world, and for me, it’s hard giving a damn about people who’ve decided JPMorganChase is the career they want.

Pretty sure I agree with the gist of this, and it’s welcome. My corner is small anyway, with not a lot of trolls and troublemakers, and I hope I’m already in line with this policy.

Well, unless I’m one of the mods who’ll “receive an immediate notice with a link to this new policy.”

Oh man, I miss Loompanics.
