NEW: Today is Daddy Yankee's 50th birthday, and in honor of the occasion the reggaetón legend sat down to chat about his career, what he's learned, and what he's looking forward to as he begins a new decade with a "blank canvas" in front of him. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

i truly hate how much we are living in a bad script

At the same time, ordinary people are expected to watch children being snatched off the street and not so much as kick the rear fender of a rental car.

According to Tacoma, WA area Redditors, this was the work of ILWU Local 91 in Oakland, CA

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Not could. Have. Fred Hampton.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

@philnobilejr.bsky.social Hello! Don't know if you remember me from Twitter and CHUD days. Sorry for messaging you this way, I just can't find another option. Is there any chance you can DM me your email? Would love to share something with you I think you'd be interested in.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

The most junior copy editor at the nation’s worst college paper could find a way to squeeze “which killed an estimated 40 people” somewhere into these top 6 grafs of the NYTimes story. It was a conscious decision to bury it in the bottom half.

New euphemism for "bottomless corruption and naked abuses of power" just dropped

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

This was so wonderful and emotional and everyone should check it out, even if they aren’t into Taylor Swift’s music at all, because it’s just an awesome look at the bond between parents and children.

Grandma, start a book club

Today is the day a very special man was born, sent to us many years ago to tell fantastic tales and bring messages of peace and understanding. Happy birthday Rod Serling!

If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

Billionaires, you say?

Would love an “objective” journalist to explain to me what the objective difference is between force and violence.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

NEW: A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to interview one of my favorite new artists! 54 Ultra is one of the freshest voices in the rising Latin soul wave, and we talked about how he got here, the authenticity of his style, eclectic musical inspirations, and more! www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

NEW: If "Cosa Nuestra" was another side of the coin to what "DTmF" offered, "Capítulo 0" raises the value of that currency even more. It’s an excellent expansion of the conversation that, to no one’s surprise, Rauw manages to make great music too. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
