Trump's AI videos blowing stuff up and the inane "kinetic" jargon aims to numb us to the reality that our government is murdering and maiming human beings from the Caribbean to Nigeria and beyond You won't be shocked to learn many aren't "bad people" My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

He could do one thing today and another thing tomorrow without being defined by such activities. Thus far, only AI has lived up to this dream, as it's employed to make art and bomb countries without ever being an artist or a pilot.

the second ripple: next season's food prices when fertilizer costs take center stage

Think of an oil shock like a stone tossed in a pond. First splash: gasoline. Then the ripples: airfares, delivery costs, packaging, groceries, construction materials.⁣ ⁣ The ripples are real. Just give them a moment to spread.

Raskin: "This is about funding, or pre-funding, Donald Trump's private militia"

This security guard died protecting children at the Islamic Center of San Diego. If you can help support his family, it would go a long way. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Everyone keeps saying it's $1.8 billion so I missed the fact that it is actually $1.776 until I heard someone say it out loud, and I want to leave the fucking timeline where even the most blatant corruption you've ever seen is also a meme pun parody of patriotism just because they wanna rub it in.

Our city spends millions on surveillance, and we are told it will keep us safe. The police knew what car these people were in, one of their mothers called it in and reported that they were dangerous, and the ALPRs that spy on us every day did nothing to keep our communities safe.

Why the hell did they even try to use AI for this???

Breaking NOTUS: Trump pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune to fire the Senate parliamentarian after she ruled Republicans could not include funding for the ballroom in a budget bill, two sources familiar with the request told NOTUS.

We live in a mobster era

I would consider giving MacKenzie Scott a hall pass

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

The Supreme Court said Biden couldn't forgive student debt

This reporter has found NINE rioters who molested children. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/the-jan-6t...

I like the old word for people who did shit like this. Mobster

BREAKING: Trump administration announces $8 billion fund to compensate child molesters named in the Epstein files called “Raperations.”

Trump didn't settle a lawsuit. He dropped the lawsuit so there's no lawsuit to settle. He's just stealing this money. The lawsuit was just for show so he could say he settled a lawsuit.

even the @apnews.com can't bring themselves to just say it.

the only reason Eric Schmidt isn't booed even more is that many people are conserving their boos for Marc Andreessen

this is horrific

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

An attack on Black America is an attack on all of America. Remember: if they come for us, they’ll come for you next. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/u...

i keep asking them when i get to genocide evangelical christians for wanting to kill me for being trans yet i never get an answer.

This tweet, for a Ross Barkan story that copied my lede and reporting, now has more than 10x the views of the original. Ross hasn't apologized or acknowledged it; maybe he's just waiting for me to shut up. Without any explanation, I'm left to wonder how many times he's done this

checking in for a brief moment on the Rededicate 250 blasphemy fest and yep, it's beyond parody

They're making it super difficult for the writers of The Boys to stay ahead of what's really happening in the world.

“Kyle Diamantas is a lawyer, not a doctor, who will oversee products making up a quarter of the U.S. economy.”

For you to understand how much the world has changed, in the 1970s as a second grader we were REQUIRED to watch the TV show adaptation of ROOTS. REQUIRED. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

The GAESA people are closer to mobsters rather than ideologically motivated communists. And so they are likely to be the group the Trump administration will work with if the current regime collapses. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

“it’s time we change the equation” is pretty dang good tbh

also you should straight up be ashamed to lend your name and face too “poor parents with infants have it too good”

there is TMI and there is Waymo Information

the true America's Mayor

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

even Katie Pavlich is pressing Jim Jordan on how Trump is wrecking the country (note how Jordan immediately pivots to "whatabout Joe Biden")
