I don't understand the Jones reference. Does it mean that Boomers are the original Joneses with whom the others are trying to keep up? That would make sense, wisdom wise, might in other aspects of life
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones Not that Wikipedia is authoritative, but I haven't heard of it before either. They give a couple of reasons for splitting this group off from the Boomers - the first half of the Boomers born 1946-1955 - the reason that resonates with me is that the older Boomers were eligible to be drafted and go fight in Vietnam, while the younger group, this so-called Generation Jones, was not old enough for that.
Tuesday won’t be as crowded (Eastern Market still sells on those days) but still. Funny enough I was going to be down there but I’m staying home I guess. Huntington (I still call it Cobo) will be just far enough. If your wife is staying within walking distance of Huntington she’ll be fine.
We see reports of this coming from every direction. They’re taking on a critical mass. A wave of misinformation, faked images and reports and the great majority either originate with or are amplified by the Trump campaign. https://t.co/hjXNcDisCu— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) October 5, 2024 Has the cadence of a Nigerian prince scam email. Totally legit.— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) October 4, 2024 It’s at the point where it’s just automatic now…egregious lies pour out of MAGA on every new issue or controversy. It’s at the point I’d be surprised if they didn’t completely make up fantastical crap.
Barr inadvertently reveals that Trump called for executions on multiple occasions during his presidency. Barr mentioned that he didn't take these calls seriously, as Trump could be talked out of it before any executions were “carried out”.

Interesting that when the right-wing crew refer to "X's Katrina" they are casually accepting that their boy GWB made a complete cock-up of [one of] the disasters that happened on his watch.— Tim Byrne (@TByrne75) October 5, 2024

Ashlee Vance is a journo with Bloomberg This is not the Secretary hammering out disaster relief with the richest man in the world. It is the Secretary correcting the uninformed, paranoid gibberish emanating from the richest man in the world to the detriment of the rescue effort. #badjournalism https://t.co/FZlvxbmqiy— @billbindc (@BillBindc) October 5, 2024

Woe be unto any Jewish politician who gets in MAGA’s crosshairs The antisemitic swarm attacking the mayor of Asheville, N.C., Esther Manheimer, is really something, and really repulsive. Once upon a time responsible Christian, conservative, and Republican leaders in the state—maybe even nationally—would have denounced it.— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) October 5, 2024

If there is a Democratic Party victory this election, they will ban voter ID requirements nationwide, enabling massive voter fraud.Banning voter ID is their stated goal – they are not hiding it!After that, your vote won’t matter, so this is therefore the last real election.… https://t.co/5XlUOAvqoV— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 5, 2024
To my fellow Jewish Americans:If you are wondering what "she is" that this widely retweeted MAGA account was highlighting - she is Jewish. If you support Trump, these are the people you are getting into bed with. You are siding with the ugliest anti-Semites in our country. pic.twitter.com/THnBs15AaO— Amy Siskind 🏳️🌈 (@Amy_Siskind) October 4, 2024

This will be in the news for 24-36 hours He was fired because he went on a podcast—while active duty & using his rank & title—to accuse fellow airmen of being marxists.The DOJ tends to frown upon a commander accusing his own enlisted of being marxists.He wasn’t fired “because DEI”. He was fired for being an asshole. https://t.co/phNelkPWL2— Kendall Brown (@kendallybrown) October 5, 2024 This man was a GOP witness in a congressional hearing. At the time, he claimed he was fired “because of Marxism & CRT”, which were the rightwing cause du jour.Now all they talk about is DEI, and wouldn’t you know it, suddenly he was fired because of DEI! https://t.co/wvHJUi9kWI pic.twitter.com/Zz7MLA2qzI— Kendall Brown (@kendallybrown) October 5, 2024
