I feel pretty confident in saying Trump's plan for the America 250 fair was "I'm gonna be able to embezzle SO much money"

To the editors that follow me: I may not be the journalist you want, but I can be the one you need

Related, and I bring this up often but you should be wary of any space with "Be Civil" as the Ur-rule. Bigots can politely argue that genocide is good, you can't politely tell them to fuck off and die.

Reminder to Colorado journalists: if you’re interviewing a winning candidate who usually claims that elections are rigged, ask them why this election was rigged in their favor.

Someone should ask Pete Hegseth if he thinks germs are real since he is responsible for this man’s preventable death

Many are acceptably citing Roman tradition, and Marino Falieri, but America has done this before. John Tyler joined the Confederacy after his Presidency and we never honored his traitorous ass. No memorials in Washington, DC, very few outside. No one remembers this PoS and we are better for it.

Mel Brooks's Blazing Saddles (1974) is a phenomenal film that fits into a much larger tradition of cultural works that challenge Hollywood and vaudevillian whitewashing of the American West This week I reviewed it in conversation with Deadwood (2004-2006; 2019) and Springsteen's album Western Stars

This might be the best advice I've seen in a long time. youtube.com/shorts/vZhzq...

congrats america, some faceless government official will now be inspecting your childs genitals if they want to play sports with their friends

By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court has ruled that Sam Alito can stay on the court indefinitely, issuing rulings when a vote for something that violates the clear, written text of the Constitution is required.

LET THE GIRLS PLAY. ALL OF THEM.

I hope that congress person who missed 4 months of work for depression treatment and still got paid extends that same thinking to regular Americans who also miss work for health reasons.

I think several things can be true: - Depression can be debilitating - It is important to talk about - It's not a get-out-of-life free card - His constituents deserve representation - People affected are still part of society and, if impaired, need to make arrangements beyond disappearing

I often get people saying they love my cat sofas but their cat wouldn’t use one. People know their own cats obviously so I’m not disagreeing. But I’ve always assumed that if a cat likes to sit in boxes, that they would like a cosy comfy “box” ie a cat sofa. What do you think?

So when I got my leg amputated, I lived on a second floor building with only staircases. The alternative was being locked in a nursing home against my will. Right before COVID lockdowns began. It's a minor miracle the place I live now is accessible.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

"I got months of paid leave and the best care in the world, and that's what it took to help me. Most people can't do this. Most people can't even approach it. I am radicalized. MEDICARE FOR ALL. MEDICARE FOR ALL. GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME, MEDICARE F

Been waiting for this story. ICE deports people to Venezuela three times a week, there are likely many more recent deportees with valid asylum claims in the rubble. Hope that GlobalX crew loses some sleep knowing they flew a planeload of shackled men & women, plus seven children, to their deaths.

Cody Gakpo scores just days after losing an unborn child 😭

The truth is you just cannot 100% control what people do. That's insane. Especially not kids. If they want kids to be safe online then fund PBS games websites and pop tropical and stuff. I was not doing anything weird online when I was a kid because we had kid spaces. Put back digital safety class.

BREAKING: Donald Trump tacked up a truly stupid looking gold eagle thing on the White House. No word yet on where it’s from, what it cost, who paid for it, or what they expect in return. Alternatively, it may just be a picture he thought was nice & shared like a grandparent on Facebook. More to come

Trump Golf resorts must get their green fees down immediately. Start targeting around $25 for 18 holes. If Trump resorts don't do this, big problems lie ahead!

My daughter brought back a little leaf hat for Cocoa 😂

On @democracynow.org, Princeton Prof Eddie Glaude gave the only plausible interpretation of S Miller's putrid post-SCOTUS TPS ruling news conference: "This is a White Nationalist agenda. Stephen Miller and all of these folks are just rabid racists and we need to call them what they are." 💯

when it zoomed out I gasped

I've gone ahead and posted my comment on the OMB rule as an example of a hyper-focused comment that looks at one portion of the OMB rule. Here, I've tackled a part of the Rule I know a lot about (international research and national security) and cross-walked with a project I've worked on a lot.

Why Flavor Flav is betting on #SHEWeekend and why brands should too,!! I alwayz wanted to be in Forbes,,, this is a real treat and honor. www.forbes.com/sites/dougme...

Don't think people are aware of just how done U.S. science is right now. Trumpists have just shot it in the head, but will leave the budgets in place for them to pocket in various scam projects.

That’s the end of the line. Trump is a rapist.

Happy with this one.

Australia: "Thousands of patients caught COVID in NSW hospitals last year and hundreds died, new data shows" Published: 14 October 2024 "At least 6,007 patients caught COVID in NSW public hospitals in 2023 and 297 died — about 115 infections and 6 deaths per week, on average."

if a person is sentenced to 100 years in prison for being anti fascist in america then america is a fascist country

“Over prior years, we didn’t pay as much attention as we should have to the experience of our most knowledgeable engineers that have been with us through many product cycles.” Evergreen.

From the outside it seems like a lot of executives don't understand how to validate a new tech before incorporating it.

For fifty years, fans, critics, and scholars have debated the meaning of the Eagles’ acclaimed 1976 recording “Hotel California.” Our new paper uses advanced AI analysis to finally reveal the hidden truth: it’s about what if there was a spooky hotel

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Something I try to keep in mind is that if it seems like doing one simple thing would solve a group of people's problems, the odds that you are a visionary prophet sent from on high to save them are pretty low and the odds they already thought of that are quite high

Happy 100TH BIRTHDAY to the king Mel Brooks, who wore a fake extra finger to his handprint ceremony🥳🎂🥳

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Can we like maybe win the war against the fascists before starting a war with other Democrats?

Yes. Please please please force kids to do something. After all, being forced to do something by an authority figure without the ability to question the utility of the act is the best way to get kids to love that thing forever.

Please permit this permit to cross your timeline. Innit Muppetish?? #permit #barjack #muppetish #coralcitycamera

Americans don't have ubiquitous AC. They have heat wave related deaths all the time. Don't listen to their bullshit.

Cops have the 22nd most dangerous job — but kill 3 to 6+ people a day… And 5 other facts to know about police in the US thisisawkword.com/ten-demands

They'd rather kill people in the middle of the ocean than reduce the demand for drugs because Trump and his admin like killing people.

In 1906, Alois Alzheimer identified the plaques and tangles that define Alzheimer’s disease following his autopsy of Auguste Deter. A landmark discovery that changed how we understand cognitive decline. #MedicalHistory
