Quite the interesting take on J6:
"...reviewing the entire process, looking at the granular timeline and then overlaying the bigger picture of the constitutional and parliamentary process itself. What follows below is a brilliant analysis of the federal government motive to create a J6 crisis that permitted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to trigger an emergency session and avoid the 2020 election certification challenges."

Wells Fargo banker friend commented that they are absolutely mobbed with customers coming in and emptying out their accounts. One customer was up in arms because he couldn't get denominations larger than $100s.

REVEALED: Only ONE member of failed SVB's board had a career in investment banking - and the rest were Obama, Clinton mega-donors who 'grieved' when Trump won including one who went to Shinto shrine 'to pray'
- Tom King, 63, was the only member of the Silicon Valley Bank board who had experience in investment banking
- The others were major Obama and Clinton mega-donors, including one who cried when Trump won in 2016
- The board is now being investigated for its failure to act ahead of the bank's collapse, as some argue it was too focused on being woke

The whole cancellation of Dilbert thing has thrown my daily lunchtime routine out of whack. Dilbert.com used to be a "12:30p every weekday" visit for me. The whole website is now completely gone. It redirects to https://linktr.ee/scottadams, which in turn links to a subscription site where you can pay to watch Adam's daily vlog and access "Dilbert Reborn."
So I'm kind of sad that's now a thing of the past.
Amusingly, Cyanide & Happiness did a week of "Dillbert" comics, by "Scot Addams."
Ah, well...
I feel bad for Adams, in a way. He fucked around and found out.
On the plus side, he's a millionaire several times over, so it's not like this is going to hurt him financially.
In other words, he can afford to actually exercise free speech. Most of us do not have that luxury.
We live in a world in free speech, like favor in the court system and access to congress, is only truly accessible by the very wealthy.
