This is America’s 250th birthday gift.

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

@strxwmxn I think the medium itself is fine even if it generally doesn't appeal to me. Shuttering the asylums and giving every crazy a podcast is untenable, however.

Millionaire retirees are gaming Medicaid to access subsidies that are supposed to be reserved for the poor. Just another aspect of TBLC. Via @RominaBoccia

"It’s a great irony of my life that at my public high school, we read Ehrlich while never learning about Borlaug."
Mackinac Center@MackinacCenter

.@PaulREhrlich , author of The Population Bomb, built a reputation on dire predictions of mass starvation driven by population growth. Those predictions didn’t come true because he overlooked "the ultimate resource:" human ingenuity. As the world’s population grew, so did its food supply, thanks largely to innovators like Norman Borlaug. Through new crop varieties and agricultural breakthroughs, Borlaug helped countries such as Mexico, India, and Pakistan move from grain shortages to abundance. mackinac.org/blog/2024/the-…

I'm listening to Plutarch & he starts the life of Pericles with a basically unrelated ramble about how certain women buy 'puppies and young monkeys' instead of having children. Truly nothing is new under the sun

@RichardMorrison Sometimes I just go to my basement and read a book on the treadmill for twenty minutes immediately after lunch.

[re The Population Bomb] In 2010, environmental activist James J. Lee showed up at Discovery Channel HQ in Silver Spring, MD and took 3 people hostage, demanding that the network help "stop the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies!” spectator.org/the-discovery-…
