Today's Low Quality Ad is for the Tribit Bluetooth Shower Speaker. True audiophiles know the shower is the optimal place to listen to music. Sound reflects off the water droplets to create a more atmospheric effect, and the vocals are purified by the hot steam. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQJR6RT...

This is why The Beatles recorded all of their albums in the shower. You can't beat that sound quality.

It’s a really sad day at my job. Consider donating, please. Help give my esteemed colleagues some security while they navigate this precarious journalism job market.

Trump spent gazillions of taxpayer dollars on this endeavor, only to end up fighting for a return to the status quo. So dumb.

Russell Vought’s Office of Management and Budget has labeled some aid money “unallocated” to control how it can be spent.

Congress is getting ready to remove the requirement that shell companies register their real owners. The bill "will restore America’s status as the leading offshore haven"

The war in Iran began with a dream of violence. The question now is whether that tyrannical emotional state, the utopia of violence, that brought us the war will be applied inside the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/utopias-of...

By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court reverses a decision in favor of Pedro Hernandez, a mentally impaired man who was pressured into an allegedly false confession of murder through these👇unconstitutional tactics. The supermajority says he did not face a deprivation of "clearly established" rights.

I say this as someone who cowrote a trump book in 2020… Spencer Ackerman’s Reign of Terror is imho still the definitive book on Trumpism and definitely the best one on what caused it

Family of teen killed in Pali Highway crash speaks out #HNN #HINEWS #HawaiiNews

Caught some of this and it was absolutely wild to see.

“We learned that these voters evaluate Trump not as a model of their values, but as a defender of them. ‘I don’t like him as a person,‘ Cindy, a 50-something nurse in South Carolina, told us. ‘But I like him as a president.’”

Did anyone else see Backrooms and think, shit you could rent this place out to like 100 different bands for practice space

Sometimes History Has An Echo, Trumpster........

"My commitment to Hawaiʻi and to the people I have had the privilege to serve will remain unchanged." More here: https://www.khon2.com/local-news/michelle-kidani-retires-hawaii/ 

Sounds like a money laundering scam to me.

Trump, humiliated, says he will probably drain the reflecting pool. But right now he’s too busy draining US coffers

Dick Cheney as his VP definitely made things worse.

Trump is blaming “vandals” for allegedly cutting the lining and pouring “corrosive chemicals” into the water, all to avoid taking responsibility for paying an outrageous sum to a no-bid contractor who screwed up.

Shut down that entire evil industry.
