https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-trump-staffer-aj-delgado-now-says-her-boss-jason-miller-raped-her Jason Miller, one of Donald Trump’s longest-serving and closest political aides, is one again in the broiler.

The long and salacious saga of his extramarital affair with former Trump political aide A.J. Delgado took a sudden dark turn on Wednesday, when she sued her ex-boss in an explosive lawsuit that now describes his predatory relationship as rape. #JasonMillerRapist

I honestly believe comedians like Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic, John Leguizamo et al are doing a vastly better job of informing the public about important issues than our hopelessly compromised fourth estate.

I am urging you to check out my Low Quality Facts merch. Not because Redbubble is having a bunch of Black Friday sales, but so I can show my family a screenshot of the receipt during Thanksgiving dinner and say "Who's wasting their life now, nerds?"

When I returned to Canada I was sad to find that #Toronto grocery chains generally do not provide the option of recyclable (paper) bags. 😱

Now the city wants to charge us *more* for those awful reusable (still plastic) bags, presumably to encourage us to bring our own 👍

EXCEPT: shut-ins who order-in groceries (like me) are collecting heaps of these damned things 😡

Do you want PAPER BAGS too?

Technological revolutions has brought humans to the moon and sent robots to Mars.

It may sound like sci-fi, but one day, I believe, we will even overcome the challenge of creating webpages that are not ruined by popups.

@PaulAKachur @AlliFlowers Same. I'm not a fan of Biden by a long shot. But I'll do what I've got to do to get to still have any say in the matter next time. One bad candidate is not enough to justify sacrificing our entire democratic system over.

Fox News just did the thing that Elon Musk accused Media Matters of doing.

If we are following the Hitler/Trump Timeline, I really hope the January 6th Coup wasn't just The Beer Hall Putsch.

I hope I am, as well!

“This year's flu season is again starting early; the current flu activity levels are about four to six weeks ahead of when we usually see them. And with activity already at highs in many states, there's a good chance that we'll again see extremely high levels in some places—moving from red to the dreaded deep purple on CDC's scale, which we saw last year.”

Map is 11 days old. Wear those masks. Get those flu shots. Travel with tests.

Early Thanksgiving thought: I'm very thankful for all of you here; it seems all the thoughtful, kind, and considerate folks I knew on that other site (and many new friends) are here; for whatever reason, the attention-seekers, people-only-on-social-media-for-ego, and hate has not crossed yet into the Fediverse (or has successfully been defederated!), and for that, I am thankful. #thankyou
