#morningjoe the “undecideds” who need to know more about Harris make me want to throw up. Don’t they know enough about the other guy to understand what a tragic mistake he would be?

Listen to the Democratic convention on #cnn and then listen to it on #msnbc. You’ll notice that the audio is blatantly muted on cnn. Shame on you #cnn

Another great quote today about the great Willie Mays, from Reggie Jackson: “Put it this way about Willie. With Babe Ruth, you only wanted to see him do one thing. It was different with Willie. You wanted to see him do everything.”

Isaac Asimov - 44 years ago. Never gets old, it seems. “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” aphelis.net/wp-content/uploa…

I’m loving Biden tonight. Hardly the old, doddering guy they like to portray him as. Check out the competition. He can’t even put a sentence together. And Biden is funny. Funny, whether you like it or not, is a sign of intelligence. #StateOfTheUnion

🎭Happy Birthday, Marian Seldes, who demands you think of the theater as your religion, and there will be no tolerating any damn atheists.

Debunking 4 myths about inflation: 1) Inflation is not being driven by wage increases. 2) Corporate profits are one of the main drivers. 3) Aid to people during the pandemic did not overheat the economy. 4) Inflation is not the result of President Biden’s policies.

Why isn’t this featured more in the inflation conversation?
Oil companies have already posted $127 billion in profit this year versus $42 billion over the same period last year. Folks, inflation isn’t being driven by workers asking for better wages or government spending. It’s being driven by corporate greed.
