    The made up kind.

    State of play: Walz doesn’t own a single stock, according to financial disclosures and confirmed by a spokesperson. Same goes for his wife Gwen, per tax filings.

    • His disclosures, both from his final year in Congress and his time as Minnesota governor, also show no mutual funds, bonds, private equities, or other securities.

    • No book deals or speaking fees or crypto or racehorse interests.

    • Not even real estate. The couple sold their Mankato, Minnesota, home after moving into the governor’s mansion, for below the $315k asking price).

    Zoom in: Their only investment assets appear to be via state pensions, including teacher pensions.

    That idiot is just making things up. They clearly don’t know anything at all about Tim Walz. Who, as far as finances goes, appears to have more in common with middle class families than any VP candidate in a century.

    This is awesome of him to do. And as an aside, Robert J. Sawyer’s Neaderthal Parallax trilogy is one of my favorite sci-fi trilogies ever. It’s about a team of Canadian physicists who accidentally open a portal to an earth in a parallel universe where Neanderthals became the dominant species on the planet. The series explores how their modern society may have evolved and how their technological and social development may have differed from our own. I highly recommend it for fans of hard sci-fi and alternative history.



















  • Spare us the sanctimonious lecturing. I don’t give a single shit about the pearl clutching coming from conservatives after they spent the last two years thinking it was utterly hilarious that a lunatic with a hammer savagely attacked Paul Pelosi… Including Donald “look at my YUGE bandage” Trump. They can dish it out but they can’t take it, fuck this apologia nonsense. A comedian made a tasteless joke about Trump at a concert in Australia. Boo hoo.

    As far as I’m concerned the only one whose reputation has taken a hit here is JB. Immediately throwing Kyle Gass under the bus, cancelling their tour, and announcing “all creative plans are on hold” over that seems like a massive overreaction. I still think he’s an incredibly talented dude and he seems like an otherwise good person but it has made me think quite a bit less of him.

    Edit: And now this jackass is doubling down and insisting anyone that disagrees with their stupid point simply didn’t understand it. Blocked.
