I learned how to read on a TRS-80 Model 1

Are we just creating new Bond villains IRL now?

"Today, Davey Hearn pled not guilty — because he is not guilty," Norm Eisen, one of his attorneys, said outside DC Superior Court. "If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk — and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution."

Welp

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

for real tho

Are any of the USMNT players from Maine and available to sub in after tonight?

Playing Pearl Jam's "Alive" in the stadium as USMNT does a spot-on Mitch McConnell impersonation is quite a choice

In which USMNT discovers ETTD

Quite the choice by Fox Sports to follow the Balogun discussion with "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" as the music cue to break

All of these can be true at the same time: 1) The suspension reversal was corrupt 2) No FIFA rules were violated (Art 27) 3) Art 27 is ridiculous 4) This is not nearly FIFA's most corrupt action 5) FIFA's history of corruption doesn't justify this corruption 6) The red card by VAR was BS

are the box cutters in the room with us now

Happy Birthday, America. This is not the 250th birthday party you deserve, even if it's the 250th birthday party 77 million of you voted for two years ago. Today I'm celebrating the possibility of something better. The republic may be hanging on by a thread, but it's still here.

McConnell's legacy is already written in stone. This should be the first line of any obituary that tries to provide an accurate assessment of his life.

I had to go find this one as the speech was happening because it was so unhinged

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is a national embarrassment.

The Aristocrats, but it's a car crash

Gute nacht!

Say no if they offer you lip filler, Doug. Only you can prevent Mar-a-Lago Face.

TFW you dip into the boss's bronzer before your TV hits

NY Post on a mission to make moderate Dems seem way cooler than they actually are

This is the climax that Doug Burgum wanted. At least they had to drain the pool anyway.

Yo voté! (Only once, tho. My better half also voted.)

I'll take it britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...

A "minor amendment" to allow arsenic contamination from a uranium mine.

Typhoid!

What a perfect reflection indeed. Happy 250, America.

When people talk about the Constitution collapsing, this is exhibit A. Horrific violations of the First Amendment. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The Trump administration operates at the intersection of malice and incompetence. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum embodies that more than any other cabinet member. Botching a paint job then arresting scapegoats to cover up his failures should be more than enough to cost Burgum his job.

many thanks to @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social for featuring our @publiccitizen.bsky.social @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social research into Trump's shameful hostile takeover of the 250th anniversary. Much appreciated! www.ms.now/the-briefing...

We regret to inform you the duck is racist

I dunno man sounds a lot like socialism

I DON'T KNOW WHO COULD IT BE THE MIND BOGGLES AT THE POSSIBILITIES

Who's up for nachos

Of all the false equivalencies and double standards in journalism right now, this one is by far the most dangerous to the country

Using criminal charges to scapegoat innocent people for the regime’s mistakes is about as authoritarian as it gets. www.reuters.com/world/us/peo...

What in the Dickens??

National guard: "There's chemicals in the water! Don't want you to get chemical burns." Interior Dept: “There are no harmful side effects to marine life or to the environment.”

This article notes that the project would consume 11 million gallons of water a year in a closed loop system. That's a tell -- any time you see Western water being measured in gallons instead of acre-feet, you're taking about orders of magnitude less water than could move the needle on overall use.

Vaccines: They work.

Truth in advertising!

On a scale of 'Shrek' to 'Hi-C Ecto Cooler', how green is the reflecting pool right now?

A literal shitshow at the reflecting pool

In no particular order

Leopards, faces, and all that

At least Curaçao scored a goal before losing this badly

Curacao!

Beyond parody

Just here for the Pastafarian bagel collective
