Having grown up on a KY coal mine (no longer operational), I find this particularly amusing. (I have zero nostalgia for coal.)

This is the height of corruption. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

APPEALS OF JURY VERDICTS ARE VERY HARD TO WIN

Dems could benefit from a sustained, nationwide PR campaign

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

This is criminal www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

When's the next Lego drop

Can they all lose

Also just do not get the “hey we killed a bunch of people using pagers so in an expression of our fondness for you…here’s a pager”??

Internal AutoZone memo: “.. We’re facing the largest supply shortage of lubricating fluids in the modern history of America. Realistic, middle-of-the-road estimates are for our average available supply in this product category to drop by 40%.” (via Costa Oil) #$AZO

My father was Dan Rooney's flight instructor. I met him multiple times and had dinner with him in Wichita. He was an incredible human being who saw a problem, put his name on a solution, and lived by it years before "DEI" was a thing.

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.

You can't gerrymander a bad approval rating open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

This is disgusting

Somewhere the ghost of Jimmy Carter is grumbling about having to sell a damn peanut farm

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

The number of senior executive roles I'm seeing posted at CISA and DHS on LinkedIn desperately looking for people is seriously scary.

Not unusual.

Mrs Met as Bo Katan.

This frequently happens in China. During Trump’s first term, they tried to block the aide who carries the football from entering the room. During one of Obama’s terms, they scuffled over armed USSS agents and press movement.

They were absolutely known in advance. And every one of these should be investigated and prosecuted.

Threatening staffers should play well in the Senate

Would rather disagree with people here than see every reply asking Grok mindlessly if something is true

A sad story that continues getting more sad. klcjournal.com/former-coldw...

I am interested in *who* is leaking these intelligence estimates and *why*. I can guess that they are unhappy with how the war is being prosecuted.

The administration does appear to be doing a Sicario in Mexico. www.cnn.com/2026/05/12/p...

Democrats should ensure that voters hear this so much it haunts their dreams this fall.

New CMS rules rolled back several consumer protections for Medicare Advantage. Protections on the chopping block are a notice of unused benefits, limits on the use of superlatives in marketing, and clear separation between educational and marketing events. www.kff.org/medicare/cha...

The WSJ revealed for the first time yesterday that it and its reporters received grand jury subpoenas dated March 4 for records related to a Feb. 23 story, but the revelation raised as many questions as it answered.

Going through AI training and it is doing demos of safety features. Queries on how to rob a bank, AI gives a response. Turns safety feature on. Asks again. AI does the same thing. "Oops, that feature is in preview and clearly isn't working yet."

So, about the War Powers Resolution's 60-day clock and "hostilities" supposedly being terminated...

Continuing my mini nightly ritual of reading these fascinating transcripts... Here’s Michael Flynn telling a grand juror he’s banned from Twitter.

Captain Bone Spurs

Oh man, pour one out for the elites

Dude @tkeck44.bsky.social how do you deal with these ads down here

This is insane

ah, as one does

I'm sure this will go over well www.wsj.com/world/middle...

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

*stares in 20th Maine* Don’t make us come down there again

Last week was a fantastic week for my Hate Comes to Main Street website, starting with the personal story of a Franklin TN woman’s personal stand against hate. 1/ www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/hate-in-a-...

The midterms are coming

Keep thinking about this quote in Politico earlier this week: “He will not be missed by a single career person,” said an FDA staffer granted anonymity to discuss Makary’s tenure. “And we will only regret it when they manage to find someone worse.”

yes, you should think of AI as the equivalent of a freshly graduated research assistant; you can ask it to do things and it will attempt them to the best of its ability, but it is fallible and needs supervision by experienced people.

A firefight is.... Interesting

Americans put up with a lot of stupid political games. They historically haven't taken kindly to blatantly cooking the books. Just gotta vote.

They're totally cooking the books on this, aren't they?
