I’m not saying the person on the right deserves the same fate as the person on the left, but maybe you are?

The ceasefire story is fascinating. Turns out that Trump seems to have pleaded with Zelensky on Putin’s behalf. The Ukrainians said that they agreed on the condition that prisoners are returned and the ceasefire covers only the parade area. kyivindependent.com/breaking-tru...

NEW: ChatGPT advised the FSU shooter that a mass shooting would get more attention from media if it involved several children, according to a new lawsuit against OpenAI www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

My mom passed several years ago. This is a picture of her in better times, when she came to visit me in LA. Happy Mothers Day!

Once Russia’s richest man, Mikhail Khodorkovsky says the lid is about to blow off the Kremlin. He just exposed the brutal power struggle happening right under Putin's nose. Read what he revealed: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/putin-is-l...

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

2/ We found at least 79 children hurt by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s deportation blitz. It’s likely a vast underestimate. Kids were at home, sitting in strollers or attending a daytime protest with their parents. Then, chemicals left them gasping for air.

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

I wrote an Instagram review of Thrash & then I read @briantallerico.bsky.social’s review & we sync up better than stories within the movie.

Last year, it only took five of us showing up and making public comment at a city council meeting to get the council to restore library funding that the mayor’s office had cut. Just a few people showing up can make a huge difference.

Some potential good news

I was listening to the last Cory Doctorow podcast and he referenced that Australia has so much solar they are offering 3h ours of free electricity electrek.co/2025/11/04/a... and Pakistan also has a great solar capacity www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Musk pledged two years ago to build a state-of-the-art water recycling plant in Memphis to guarantee that his xAI servers wouldn’t deplete the city’s groundwater" "Now that Musk’s first data center is up and running, construction on the recycling facility has come to an abrupt halt"

British MP Liam Byrne says Europe no longer believes the transatlantic relationship will return to what it once was, warning U.S. unpredictability is reshaping European security, diplomacy, and trust in Washington. #Europe #NATO #EU #UK @volteuropa.org @europarl.europa.eu

"Iran retains about 75 percent of its prewar inventories ... [and] the regime has been able to recover and reopen almost all of its underground storage facilities, repair some damaged missiles and even assemble some new missiles that were nearly complete when the war began."

US Agriculture Secretary Rollins: “The good news is that 4.5 million more people are now food insecure (most of them children) in the United States.” That is essentially the gist of her real quote. This is frighteningly the type of achievement the regime is constantly bragging about.

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

Perfect for military use then…

He does this every Friday

They told us to make the headlines conversational what can I say www.wired.com/story/using-...

(📢) Trump keeps lying about his campaign promise-breaking Iran war. In 10 months, we’ve depleted Iran’s missile stock by only 30%—today Trump lied and said 82%—and destroyed only 25% of its launchers. Per intel, Iran can withstand a blockade for *months*.

Mel Brooks secretly funding Lynch and Cronenberg's æ 'brilliant but hard to sell' post-debut projects while not taking credit because he wanted audiences to take their work at face value w/o the distraction of "Mel Brooks means funny" is the purest thing that ever happened in the US movie industry

This was an Eid celebration, cancelled at the last minute. It's like cancelling a Christmas gathering. Good food, fancy dresses, family and friends, all the kids get money. This is how fanatical Abbott's government has become. Anti-DEI paved the way for this and there's just not enough pushback.

"Let me see . . . should I listen to my child's pediatrician or the former heroin addict who cuts the penises off roadkill to take home? Yeah, the dude with the racoon penis, not the dude with an MD. Boy, that was an easy decision, y'all!"

Supreme Court expansion is essential. Begin now to create the demand for it, because it will take time. But the desire for reform and expansion is building, given the ongoing & obvious corruption. John Roberts' whining is evidence of the court's concern about the reality of the growing disgust.

RBC Ukraine: Putin retreats to bunkers as Moscow security tightens for Victory Day. The May 9 celebrations on Red Square will feature no military equipment & a reduced guest list. Analysts say the Kremlin is unable to secure the capital against Ukrainian strikes. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

This is now the THIRD time in less than a year that we've bombed Iran while they've been at the table for active negotiations. I do not understand how they could ever trust any "deal" with Trump (or any US president who comes after)

the fact that the trump admin is doing literally NOTHING for the 250th anniversary is wild. not *surprising*. why would narcissists celebrate anything but themselves? but, it's still crazy to have such an important milestone & easy good vibes win, and they're just making a few farting noises

Seems suboptimal

In Andy Rooney’s voice: “So do you ever wonder what happened to the two pilots who supposedly were rescued? Who are they? What happened to them? If they existed, wouldn’t Orange Jim Jones parade them around and tell us how amazing he is to have saved them?”

"MAHA" in a nutshell

Remember: Trump promised to bring DOWN prices 'on day 1.'   He's now sending his top economic advisor out to try and convince the American people that it's a GOOD thing that they are paying more for "everything."   They haven’t got a clue.

The Addiction Science Defense Network released a report saying federal actions have potentially destroyed 50 years of research.

The steady decline in Vladimir Putin's ratings is sending a message — just not the kind polls in democracies are designed to capture.

ICE concentration camps are deadly. Already in 2026, 18 people have died in detention — roughly 1 person every week. They need to be shut down. Instead, the GOP is trying to give ICE and Border Patrol up to $70 billion more.

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

So, the goal was regime change in order to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. The regime is still intact and Iran is going to ramp up efforts to get a nuclear weapon so the new goal is to try to prevent a global economic catastrophe which is starting to develop

The objectives of Epic Fury were: 1. Regime change (nope) 2. Destroy their navy (mostly happened) 3. Destroy their missile capability (nope) 4. Eliminate their nuclear program (nope). So what the fuck is this clown shoe wearing motherfucker talking about?

People keep asking Alan Moore questions about comics he's disowned when they could spend more time asking him questions about things he actually gives a shit about—and get answers as glorious as this.

WE’RE THE PARTY OF STATES’ RIGHTS wait no not like that

Just a reminder: women couldn't even get a credit card in their own name when we first landed a man on the moon. Blacks had only just got the national right to vote and Medicare had only just begun alleviating mass senior poverty.

A important thing to remember when certain celebrities post photos from the gala
