mccOccasionally I see a thing happening and I'm like "damn… I wonder what a journalist would have said about that, if they still existed"
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Today Trump "worked" at McDonald's and I got to thinking that the irony of Trump's McDonald's photo op is that:
•As a convicted felon he can't actually work at McD's as they don't hire felons

Dan GillmorLA Times owner seems to be in league with Trump, vetoing a Harris endorsement and then letting the campaign use standard-issue lies to smear the paper for something it didn't do.
The editorial page editor quit in protest and she deserves our respect.

Albert Cardona@straphanger Having lived in Zurich for a few years: when I moved for work reasons from Zurich to suburban Virginia, USA, I was depressed for a few months. I could never make sense of what a colleague called "carbon-based socializing".
