"if you elect a Democratic majority they'll just impeach all the things" and the problem with that is... the problem with that is... Yeah ok

States rights!

Specifically targeting junior enlisted personnel and junior officers, of course. They are required to attend in uniform.

Soldier your mission is to be a seat filler at our 80 year old president's big birthday fight! Strong sexy hunks ONLY! Absolutely NO uggos!

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

Like, I took a *lot* of Econ classes in undergrad. And in several of them, professors would say something like "we can't know X would happen if Y because we've never seen anyone do Y so the best we can do is guess" Not anymore fuckos! 🤪

Suicide, right. It’s definitely suicide and ICE would never lie about that.

This is 14% of Lebanon's territory. Functionally indistinguishable from what Russia has done in Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea.

What a thread

Republicans out there complaining about birth rates while also making sure 700,000 American children go to bed hungry tonight.

it turns out that rich people do not, in fact, actually mean it when they claim that if you tax them, they’ll totally ditch their nice blue state properties and move to darkest Chumblefuck, Arkansas

So, investigating tax fraud among rich people?

All this "well if we can't do it all at once it isn't worth trying" is loser shit and God, I wish the GOP had felt that way about overturning Roe but they didn't and here we are.

I ugly sobbed reading this. Five days in the hospital, sitting around, waiting to die, while everyone around her refused to help. She eventually had to drive four hours to Kansas to get lifesaving treatment. The doctor who greeted her said “We are so glad you made it,”

trumps birthday party with gladiator fights that he’s throwing with taxpayer money while gas is approaching $6 has the potential to make the american public collectively angrier at a president than theyve ever been

Dear @cnn.com :: small correction :: I’m seeking $8.647 million.

It's absolutely insane how the Nasdaq changed rules around its exchange to include SpaceX just 15 days of trading, allow less than 5% of free float, and require a weighting of multiple its float in the index. This is the largest wealth transfer in history from everyone's retirement to Elon.

Is there a way to get iOS to stop using AI to “improve” swype and autocorrect? My phone has helpfully started replacing every instance of “and,” the conjunction I use all the time, with “ABA,” a controversial form of therapy for autistic people.

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior." Hoffman is the Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender.

Back in my day, when we made fake companies to steal government money with no-bid contracts, we put some *effort* into it. We hired our nephew and some relatives of local officials to be our fake employees. We keep the graft in the community. The kids these days just don’t respect the craft.

It’s like the whole accusation that climate or vaccine or *any* scientists are “in it for the money.” They literally cannot conceive of another motive. Maybe that person just really likes curing pancreatic cancer. Get the fuck out of their way.

Intellectual freedom to take the required indoctrination classes!

“The cherishing of antipathies is a luxury for which men ought to willing pay, instead of transferring the hateful tax to the victim.” What an absolutely perfect phrase. I want to cross-stitch this. I want to print it on postcards and mail it out.

Leaving their jobs, their homes, their spouses and children? For likely years? Immigration is GOOD. It’s good for the country. It’s good for the economy. It’s probably our greatest strength as a nation.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Heading to a barbecue?? A new, non-metal grill brush is an excellent gift for your host.

It’s amazing to watch the professional journalism class dance around this:

Gay people existed in medieval times, people knew they existed, and even it wasn’t officially sanctioned, it mostly wasn’t a big deal. In fact, Christianity focusing almost exclusively on opposing homosexuality and abortion is an extremely ahistorical aberration.

All of us are checking our phones with "Maybe now? How about now?" and this is such an unhealthy way to live, we are all traumatized and living in fear of whatever he decides to do next. Absolute clownshoes way to go through life.

I laughed so hard

Done! If you love Crash Course and have the funds, consider donating. They help a lot of kids learn, especially those who don’t have access to high-quality schooling for whatever reason.

To keep people up to date: six people who exercised their first amendment rights had their lives overturned and were forced to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorneys fees because of clear prosecutorial misconduct.

Google is moving from a Jeopardy! model (what is the correct answer?) to a Family Feud model (100 people surveyed, top six answers on the board). There's a reason nobody says, "Hey, you're very knowledgeable, you should go on Family Feud."

Interesting that the Trump administration is laying down a marker that a military attack on an unarmed craft can be the basis for prosecuting senior government officials who supervised the attack in home countries of the vehicles' occupants.

Kind of feel like we especially don’t need fancy law explainers at the moment. “Can the president just take money when he wants?” A third grader could answer this. A Yale law prof is likelier to write the wrong answer so their 2L can work for Alito

Are there days people want to be Frodo? And if so, why? Also, the article has some fantastic book recommendations.

Whoa, hold up there Jeff—who said anything about "double"? You pay an effective tax rate of 0.98%. We want to centuple your taxes. Then again, you'd still be a billionaire, so maybe more than centuple.

Thank you for the offer Copilot, but I don’t need you to rewrite or summarize the email message “Adding Ravi”

And then there's this: The settlement gets sweeter for Team Trump In a newly-posted, one-page document, the Justice Dept details that it is now prohibited from pursuing tax claims against Trump or his family in the future Signed by Todd Blanche

She had her hands handcuffed behind her back while giving birth. Horrifying and inhumane.

Democrats should be saying anybody who takes this stolen money will see the government coming after them to claw it back.

I will not relitigate elections. Relitigating elections is the soul-killer. I will let 2024 pass over and through me, into the history books, and will learn from its path. Because, fuck, man. Just fuuuuuck.

Teenagers, kidnapped from the bus stop, because they missed a paperwork step when transferring high schools. Fuck ICE and every single person helping them.

Oh look, it’s every conversation I have lately

I’m reminded of comment on a management blog from someone who said that if they receive a sexual harassment complaint, they also review the accused person’s expense reports and timecards.

Look, let’s assume for just a second that climate change doesn’t exist. THE SUN IS FREE. On purely economic grounds, it’s better to get energy with effectively zero ongoing input costs than to create energy by BURNING FUEL which can only be used once.

This mass courtship event typically marks the beginning of Waymo mating season, and the general public is advised to avoid approaching them or their young and maintaining a safe distance at all times as they can get even more unpredictable in their behaviour towards humans at this time

THIS. It’s hard to cheer for LLMs when so many companies are like “what if we use AI to charge you more for a worse product while firing more employees?“
