Heavily paraphrasing www.newyorker.com/news/the-led... ... When asked if their neighbors could be snatched off the streets the answer is the same as 176 years ago.

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire. It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.

Maybe Judges should though... Given the countless articles like this in the past year www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How? How is this so high?

Allow me to give you yesterday's perfect headline, courtesy of FT:

Excellent frame by frame analysis by Brenna Perez: www.tiktok.com/@perezbrenna...

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Wer da nur für Integration zuständig war? #Plakolm glaubt anscheinend, es sei für sie von Vorteil, wenn sie sagt, wie schlecht ihre Parteikolleg*innen gearbeitet haben.

Holy crap chart from Gallup

I want Gaston backstory, but not from Disney. And in case there's any doubt: This is the only Gaston I care about, anyone should care about really.

Congratulations to @deutschewelle.dw.com for that recognition of their work.

A perfectly NORMAL picture of the world's GREATEST president (who is also the HEALTHIEST man alive) picking up his very REAL peace award.

There it is. The proof. I don't have taste.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Was CDU-Mitglied und Kommunalpolitiker RA Dieter Breymann hier über seinen Parteichef Friedrich Merz sagt und von ihm verlangt, hätte ich mir von CDU-Bundestagsabgeordneten gewünscht aber von den Bücklingen und Ja-Sagern auch nicht erwartet

This is great... But it seems the definition of packed is very different in the US

5/5 doctors agree that reposting friendly bluesky artists makes you live a gazillion years

"withdraw the investment offer, introduce reciprocal tariffs, and, the nuclear option, cancel Switzerland's order for US F35 fighter planes." Clearly Trump did not appreciate these offers, so Switzerland should withdraw them. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In grim "there's always a tweet" news.

the democrats should give this person a megaphone.

The old structures that held space for disagreement, context, and mutual respect have broken down. What we get instead is an algorithmic free-for-all where extremes rise, nuance gets flattened, and everyone is performing for their side.

Step 1. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country Step 2. When markets crash, pause those tariffs and say they're just leverage for deals Step 3. Promise deals Step 4. Fail to make deals Step 5. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country ...and yes, I find it hard to keep my cool, sometimes.

Not having to do this is kind of the fundamental basis for the entirety of human civilization

I'm also worried that all the unnecessary hype is going to make some CEOs think they can replace developers with AI to build secure and production ready software

The most worrying aspect is that it's actually possible that Trump believes what he writes here. That could make him drive the US economy off a cliff. If he just keeps waiting for the "boom" to start... #Trump #Economy #tariffs #recession #inflation
