Funny how transparency became optional.

Quick hit video of a dude asking people how much they spent on World Cup finals tix and then their occupation. CEO of KC Chiefs, owner of Welch’s, and an inconspicuous “consultant”. See if you can identify him.

Midnight Run turns 38. De Niro, Grodin, and one of the sharpest scripts of the ’80s. Martin Brest’s cult classic only gets better with time. 🎬 Revisit its legacy at Cinephilia & Beyond: cinephiliabeyond.org/midnight-run... #Filmsky 📽️

There are two possibilities here. Taylor Farms paid a shit ton of money to get the FDA to say this. Or DOGE decimated the FDA so significantly that they managed to fuck up a basic sample test. Neither one is great!

I don’t want to believe this because I the majority of the people still at the CDC are dedicated public health professionals — but it’s not a good look that this happens after Taylor Farms met with the White House and FDA. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/h...

1) This unfortunately will only further erode confidence in the CDC and public health 2) How many people dropped any precautions they were taking because they thought the source had been uncovered?

Seems important

Parents told the state Homestead Academy was unsafe, with kids left unsupervised in a wooded area where one student allegedly choked his peers. They described something more like a daycare than a school. “Please stop” funding the school, one parent pleaded.

A timeline cleanse with Jimothy the Raccoon in Seattle. He’s a uniquely shaped raccoon with a short-body spinal deformity but he doesn’t know that he’s different. Here’s his origin story. ❤️ #ProudBlue #Jimothy

So many have decided that the former host of Celebrity Apprentice is the permission they needed to finally be unapologetically bad people.

ICE killed two men on their way to work — Lorenzo Salgado in Houston, Johan Durán in Biddeford, Maine. Pope Leo XIV says the church cannot be silent on migrants. Houston's bishop got the memo. Portland's bishop managed two unsigned sentences that never mention ICE — and never posted them.

Absolutely NO LIES TOLD...

Natalie Portman: "You fought for the return of the hostages. You stood against the war of annihilation, and for the children of Gaza, you demanded safer streets, more fair wages. But unfortunately, protests and grassroots work is not enough, and that's why we're here tonight."

Hopefully republicans will pay the price in November.

Dr. Frankenstein, your monster is loose again.

It’s sure amazing how for the last 2 years now, every time someone reports that troops are being ambushed and killed because they didn’t have the resources needed to survive, or didn’t receive vital intelligence that could have saved lives; the Benghazi people are really fucking silent.

“They knew what they signed up for.”

Trump on US troops who were just killed: “We feel very badly, but … “

In what’s been a remarkable turnaround in the strangest of Red Sox seasons, they found a new way to win on Sunday: Scoring three runs without recording a hit. Their 13 wins in a row is the most in the majors this year and 2nd longest streak in Sox history www.nytimes.com/athletic/745...

There’s something so wrong with everyone in this administration. www.theverge.com/policy/96144...

BISON: “.. So the Iran war is back on, and it's like we're in March - except a TACO has already been tried and failed, and SPRs and commercial inventories are depleted.” www.bisoninsights.info

Imagine watching your neighbour's house burn down and, instead of helping, complaining about the smell of the smoke.

What they don't teach you about heatwaves: It's not just heat. It's: • Your crops dying • Your river drying (Rhine is low again, disrupting shipping) • Your lungs burning from wildfire smoke • Your power grid collapsing It's everything at once.

The real reason US smoke on the West drifts to Canada, and the Canadian smoke in Ontario drifts South. Its called the jetstream.

The Cure’s Robert Smith on Fifa's half time show during the 🇪🇸 v 🇦🇷 final in New Jersey: “Please just fuck off”.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is consulting his legal dept. on whether wanted-ICC war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu could be arrested if he visits the UN General Assembly in September: "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the Hague."

Rudy Giuliani’s FBI Informant, Alexander Smirnov Who Lied About the Bidens Was Covertly Released From Jail I just checked & Smirnov is still listed as a prisoner at FCI Terminal Island in Los Angeles — anticipated release date is February 5, 2029. But he’s not there.

I would like to remind everyone that Robert Mueller was 100% correct: Russia DID help Trump, repeatedly and illegally. His investigation produced 37 indictments, and seven guilty pleas or convictions. There is only one person committing widespread election fraud: Donald Trump.

Trump shaking hands with Sanchez prior to the FIFA Final

It isn’t the White House task force’s role to decide these matters. It’s FIFA’s rule. But I supposed FIFA has for the past 6 weeks become a branch of the federal government so …

But hey, I’m sure this time it will work for us!

Col. Douglas MacGregor (ret.) says we couldn't field more than 120,000 troops for at least a year without a draft. Our armed forces have been downsized dramatically making pipe dreams of ground invasions pure fantasy. What on earth is McCaffrey smoking?

McCaffrey.

Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).

Wow. Even Jesus got the urge from time to time to yank. DISCUSS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3WHp_bnLlI

Don’t forget the compensation #radicalleft

This worked out great. For Iran.

Brennan: "The family of the man in Houston thought he was being robbed because it was an unmarked vehicle." Homan: "They had emergency lights." Brennan: "You've seen that on video? Because we haven't." Homan: "I have not seen the videos…I do not know specifically if they activated those lights."
