Freelance photojournalist Jim Vondruska, who was born and raised on the west side of Chicago, has been doing brilliant work throughout the DHS blitz of the city. 🫡 @reuters.com @pictures.reuters.com

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Hey now, I heard that *hundreds* of the (checks notes) thirty-four thousand NYPD officers were leaving.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

Tax the rich. Tax the rich. Tax the rich.

we decided to give the computers that run society the weakness from the 1966 television show "star trek" where you can argue with them in plain english to defeat them

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

A paper “The Economic Impact of Brexit” by Stanford University in the USA is not being picked up by the mainstream UK media. It shows the damage has been underestimated. www.thenationalnews.com/business/eco...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Apparently smuggled AI models are the new stolen microchips in TV espionage plots.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

I hereby apologize to Eyes Wide Shut for thinking it was hyperbolic

I know it's always been the same fucking guys but it's ALL THE SAME FUCKING GUYS

It’s a strange situation when we’ve established the POTUS is a criminal, we’re just trying to find a crime his party wouldn’t be okay with.

New toxic data just dropped.

* Corporate executives are killing jobs. AI is their scapegoat.

Y'all, I'm beginning to suspect that Trump knew about some of his best friend's sex trafficking victims that he was banging.

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act. The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not. They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today. They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.

Ig look, Michaels has the Melania Holiday Despair Collection.

A togglable "I'm an adult with kids and a job" feature that assumes you only get to play once a week, and dumps a summary of what you were last doing/your current objectives in a corner tooltip on loading a save.

And most definitely, Schumer, resign now.

Imagine being so roasted on xitter that you decide to take out ads not to refute the diss, but to *fake* as if it's wrong.

Am I wrong or is the Washington Post editorial board implying they agree with the overturning of Roe?

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently. In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?” And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

really hope people start to understand that Medicare for all wouldn't have been subject to things like states refusing to expand medicaid or the elimination of premium tax credits, while also implementing price controls in healthcare. ACA's complexity is its vulnerability

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

#OnThisDay Nov 10, 2025 just past midnight: About 20 miles south of Isle Royale, Edmund Fitzgerald and Arthur M. Anderson begin to encounter the storm. By 1:00 am waves are 10ft high and winds howl between 50-60mph.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

gotomeeting: also crap.

One of two things is true: 1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader. OR 2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

I got /34/ "need to cancel your flight" phishing emails in my inbox this morning.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
