"While we were sorry to let go of several seasoned journalists — some of whom, it should be noted, were raking in an unconscionable $30,000 a year — we're excited to see the great local work that will be produced by our unpaid interns and network of Latvian SEO content bloggers."

Surya was a great skater. A brilliant combination of grace and power, a thrill to watch!

Read conditions under which detainees are being held & read claim from ICE spokesperson. Considering track record this admin & ICE/CBP has regarding operations, detainees, facilities & deaths, who do you believe? @pingree.house.gov must be allowed to tour the bldg. #BelieveYourEyes-NotTheirLies

Q: Why will football be featured during the Bad Bunny concert?* A: The Bad Bunny concert is fantastic exposure for the NFL and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put the game of American football in front of fans of the biggest musical artist in the world.

Watergate, but if someone was killed.

Get fucked Sideshow Bob

Right the bad thing about that sentence is the passive exonerative "have been taken" instead of "I made difficult decisions". You're the CEO! bsky.app/profile/kath...

There is no way that we can host the World Cup or the Olympics.

OMG the toaster.

Check the words. Check the time stamps. Fucking clown shit.

This Trevor Loudon guy being promoted by Naomi Wolf has been a special favorite of right wing Republicans in Oregon since the Obama era. He's a leading proponent of the Zenith Applied Philosophy (ZAP), which is a combination of Scientology, Eastern Mysticism, & John Birch Society anti-communism.

The athletes calling for a better America — or even saying they represent the best aims of America — are more truly patriotic than JD Vance could ever claim to be.

I feel like this should be more obvious to people? Any city where people are willing to pay this much to live in totally normal-ass houses has to be a wonderful place to live?

Awesome!

Would be interesting to compare the results on more recent models - but this problem won’t go away. LLMs are always going to be extrapolating from what has already, and often, been thought, which is why they aren’t windows to the future but anchors to the past.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels Came to the checkout at the 7-11 Marx was skint, but he had sense Engels lent him the necessary pence www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD5N...

1/x OK, you perverts all seem very attracted to Kelvin's Balls, so I'll give you some more of them and continue talking about magnetism and the ship's compass. Strap in, it's a long, nerdy ride.

LOL eat shit

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Will any of the reporters who credulously peddled the "rogue staffer" story issue retractions or burn their anonymous sources? Don't print lies in the newspaper

If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Standing by for when the Seahawks clean house on Sunday. #GoHawks

Team USA skier: Just because I wear the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US.

Here is a flow chart from US Steel about their employee suggestion process. Evidently no one was actually making steel in the 1950s. They were all on committees.

Jimmy Carter said once that after he left office people were much nicer because "when they wave at me now, they use all their fingers." These clowns will always get one.

Easy to agree with Elie here. I don't think an "elections czar" will do it, but every state-level official who cares about democracy - and a battalion of lawyers - better buckle up for what's coming.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

“military-grade intelligence tactics” “Pattern-of-life” intelligence Bro, you are eating microwaveable Campbell’s Soup for every meal and crashing out in front of the Home2Suites while you’re geared up like you’re in Fallujah

A so called Christian that has cheated on two more wives than my atheist ass has had. A so called man who cheats at everything. Nothing matters to people like this as long as we have to live by their laws and beliefs.

It's always always about the image and the narrative. The administration wasn't about to let this guy show them up. They have to win. In case anyone out there still thinks this administration is gonna allow a loss at the ballot box in the midterms or in 2028.

over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

Cape May's "ghost tracks" are century-old, rusted railroad remnants buried in the sand at Higbee Beach and Sunset Beach in New Jersey, used for sand mining and World War I munitions, only appearing after major storms reveal them before being reburied again by sand.

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

Relatives of a Ukrainian serviceman who had been listed as killed and even buried heard his voice for the first time after his return from captivity. The moment came after the fighter was freed in a prisoner exchange and contacted his family following years of uncertainty. #Ukraine

BETHESDA HQ, 2002: Todd Howard: You can play as one of the four human races: Swedish, French, Italian, or Black. You can also play as one of the four elven races: Nazi, cannibal, Jewish, or poop. Or a cat or a lizard. Investor: What about a dwarf? Todd Howard: Mike said they all died of autism.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

More attention here, please.

Of Course she does. The WASP runs strong in this one.

This isn't just a gut punch. It's a combination to the kidneys followed by an uppercut to the jaw. Words Mean Something, and how these assholes talk means everything.

The president if the United States is trying to rob taxpayers of billions of dollars. No help for you, he’s helping himself.

Quite the grift.

He hasn't flown on any aircraft not owned by his company or the taxpayers in 45 years. Trump is a 24 karat fool, a senile old man yelling at his neighbors.
