The vacation special

so if we had a liberal outlet that took the nypost/fox approach to news you would have a field day with the "trump crime spree" narrative -- something that official dems mostly ignore, the msm downplays, and actually gets eyeballs *with the truth*

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

Here are the 11 potential expansion locations in blue, which could arrive as early as May.

Successful debut for the Minneapolis traffic safety camera pilot. Speeding down by half at a handful of intersections that had cameras installed. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/Fil...

boy that's a war crime

Hey that’s me

This has been part of the trans-kids moral panic for years, gay adults going "If I grew up now, they'd convince me I'm trans." If your movement had real evidence, you wouldn't be pointing to alternative-universe hypotheticals! Child psychologists know the difference between gay kids and trans kids

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

And of course we get the obligatory whining about how trans people are mean. Gee I wonder why they think you don't like them, Ben!

But I thought SF banned landlords from using AI software to illegally collude and set higher prices therefore ending the housing affordability crisis ???

The Pentagon is rapidly burning through its stocks of precision weapons at a rate that puts the U.S. military potentially “days away” from having to prioritize which targets to intercept, according to three people familiar with the matter.-WSJ

For most of the history of cars, turning right on red was illegal due to its obvious danger, since drivers looking to their left for oncoming vehicles can't see pedestrians in the crosswalk on their right. It should be again.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

"They died so we could be free" is a stupid trope that gets it exactly backwards. They died because we are free and because 77 million of us did not take the sacred bargain of our citizenship seriously. This isn't a game show--our votes have life or death consequences.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Just remember this whole thing, and I mean *all of it* is because Trump couldn’t handle how much Obama made fun of him at that WHC dinner in 2011

They're calling it SuperBenghazi.

A clip from the moment Hillary Clinton found out Lauren Boebert took an unauthorized photo of her deposition: 'I'm done!'

bibi is just descriptively correct and the next dem needs to just sever all ties with israel. defense, trade, all of it. even thinking on utterly cynical grounds: israeli political leadership and overall politics is overtly opposed to the american left-of-center project

The Secretary of Defense calling rules of engagement stupid should be an immediately impeachable, if not criminal, offense.

I repost the infamous Caitoz ‘promise me’ post a lot but this from Jeet Heer is equally Louvre worthy imo

It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

"The exact same war, with worse consequences. Maybe Obama was not so much a breath of fresh air as he was a prolonged wheeze between two racking coughs." newrepublic.com/article/2051...

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

This turns 23 next month theonion.com/this-war-wil...

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

Disgusting.

The ultra rich are peculiarly obsessed with solving the problem of that one scene from Batman where Bane puts his hand on Ben Mendlesohn's shoulder. Until a couple years ago their solutions were like "BATTLE ROYALE-style explosive collars" but killbots suddenly seem tantalizingly practical

An important thing to realize is that our oligarch class's vision of autonomous killbots isn't really using them as soldiers, but them as slave drivers and prison guards.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

American planning in a nutshell: building apartments in a wealthy neighborhood? You need special permission and must rent 20% of them at a loss to poor people. Combining 10 apartments into a mansion for one extremely rich family? By-right process, no subsidized housing requirement, and a tax break.

yeah these guys were drug dealers

Trams on grass: Bilbao edition. Chris is delighted to be back in beautiful Basque Country to speak at the ‘Metropolis of the Future’ International Seminar on behalf of the @dutchcycling.nl Embassy. Expect plenty of dispatches over the next few days; exploring the region on two feet and two wheels.

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

I cannot think of a funnier or more appropriate summary of the state of the news industry in 2026 than “the Onion has more subscribers than the Washington Post” please help make it happen

from figurative blood libel to *literal* blood libel

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

there's so much elite media denial that it was the exact same group of people promoting vaccine denial as were promoting the trans panic. reading tweets like this or singal's ny times op-ed, you'd think they were two separate and opposed groups.

its one of the two dumbest things the democrats do as a party. its tied directly into this fantasy west wing view they have of things where a democratic appearance on fox blue pills a diehard fox viewer and suddenly they see the light. so fucking dumb.

Whoa - this is quite an accusation. Are you saying you and your friends don't put on matching outfits to watch the State of the Union address at the local diner?
