“Buckingham Palace is full of ornate decor but its most useful treasure is its magnificently woven carpet. It’s perfect to sweep royal scandals under. The latest one involves serious allegations the Duchess of Sussex intimidated and belittled her staffers. When the claims were first reported, the palace announced it was conducting an enquiry, but now it’s said it won’t release the findings. That’s left many wondering what was uncovered. Could it be that the facts really reveal instead of being the bully, Meghan is actually the one who’s been bullied?”
This would hardly be the first time a snotty, self absorbed U.S. actor screwed things up for a lot of other people.
“Donald Trump believes he has the solution to homelessness, and it involves constructing massive tent camps on the outskirts of cities, then bringing in doctors, psychologists and other professionals to help the recently relocated unhoused individuals adapt to their new circumstances. The tents could all be constructed in a single day, Trump enthused. Yes, it’s a terrible idea on a number of levels, but at the very least Trump is talking about the homelessness problem – something Joe Biden and most Democrats are NOT doing.
Jimmy discusses the ways various communities, from Houston to Mississippi to the nation of Finland, have dealt successfully with this problem with a program called “Housing First.”
Just goes to show how fucked up the USA is…
…Gee…maybe they can find a whole bunch of Harry Potter tents for the homeless…
…”Magic can make life in a tent luxurious!”…Yeah…Sure…
Politicians refuse to do what needs to be done.
It’s insane that the silence of most politicians, is making the words of Trump seem progressive in comparison…They’re just gifting him this free and easy ride.
Despite everything going on right now…those assholes just might find a way to toss victory out of their own pocket, and hand a re-election to Trump.
Never underestimate the corrupt apathy and incompetence of the democrats.

Star Trek Picard is about to debut it’s second season, after a couple years’ worth of COVID delays. So, maybe you forgot a lot of what happened in season 1.
Or maybe you’re a Star Trek novice, and you’re not sure where to begin in this nearly 60 year old cinematic universe. Or maybe you’re just like me, you love Star Trek, and you think it’ll be fun to relive the history and then nitpick in the comments with quotes from memory alpha.
Star Trek takes place in a Utopia 3 to 4 hundred years in the future, when humanity has finally sorted itself out and we’re exploring space. It’s a series about exploration, discovery, and believing in the best of humanity. This recap will try to cover the basics of all the main shows, while focusing on what you’ll need to know for Picard season 2.
So, eons ago, before humanity existed, a very powerful race of artificial intelligent beings moved 8 suns near one another, and left a message at the center. The message is intended for other artificial life forms, and basically said:
Hello, we are other super intelligent life forms from the distant past. If you ever want to, like, kill organic life forms or stuff, you should summon us. That would be cool.”
Let’s fast forward to the 1990s, when the timeline splits off from our own timeline. Genetic manipulation created a race of super-beings called the Augments, who rose up to conquer huge chunks of earth, kicking off the eugenics wars. Millions of people died, and humanity entered a new Dark age as one of these Augments, Khan Noonian Singh, conquered over a fourth of the planet. But humans fought back, overthrew Khan, and he fled earth with a bunch of his fellow supermen.
After this, wealth inequality choked the government, and the US forced people into slums called Sanctuary districts. In 2024 a riot broke out in San Francisco, dozens of people were killed, and this made people start focusing on actually improving the world instead of sweeping their poor people under the rug.
But, a couple years later that didn’t matter much, because world war 3 kicked off and lasted nearly 30 years, reducing huge chunks of the planet to radioactive waste.
Afterwards America was fractured into smaller firms, led by tyrants like colonel green. And then in the post atomic horror that followed, many societies were reduced to barbaric tribes that held witch trials
But then, from a small refugee camp came a rock n roll loving scientist named Zephram Cochran who invented warp travel, which allows you to travel faster than light.
IN the year 2063 his first flight caught the attention of some aliens who were passing by. They were called Vulcans, and they are a race that has expelled all emotion and operates slowly on logic. Except for like, once every seven years during the pon farr and then they fuck like people.
Thousands of years before the Vulcans had a civil war, where they split off from another group who became the secretive, emotional Romulan empire.
But back on earth, things are great. First contact with an alien race unites humanity, and people finally put aside weath, money, racism, and influencers to build a perfect society. Cochrane becomes a hero, and he gives a speech that’s a mission statement for space expiration.
Over the next 90 years, the Vulcans are very slow to share their technology with earth, until we get our shit together. Finally–in the year 2151–we created our first deep space ship, the Enterprise–with a Vulcan advisor on board. And there is a weird sexually tense massage gel scene in the first episode.”

“Former Senator Al Franken (D) discusses the January 6 hearings and the outtakes video from Trump’s speech the day after the violent riot at the Capitol.”
“From the “Better Late Than Never” file we can now report that The Washington Post has begun expressing skepticism about the narrative coming out of the Pentagon about the Ukraine War. In a recent article The Post suggested that information coming out of the administration about Ukraine may not be 100% accurate, and alludes to recent history and all the lies that came out of successive presidential administrations about the Afghanistan conflict.
Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why the Post is just now allowing in a little light about Pentagon and White House misinformation over the Ukraine War.”
