If you still think they're the party of "family values" you're severely mentally impaired.

end qualified immunity and make cops carry personal liability insurance

all you people posting mid reviews of wuthering heights do not have eyes, that shit RIPPED??? are you kidding?? go see it

Welp

Those fuckers should have donated

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

and here is our opposition leader (laudatory)

I'm assembling a team

Keep seeing people saying "Thank God It's Whiskey Friday With Tony Dokoupil" and I realized I have no idea what the name Dokoupil actually sounds like spoken out loud

going to take the brave public stance of saying that we don’t need a profile on a minor bret easton elllis character

From my view, democrats aren't doing anything meaningful to stop the fascist takeover of our government and the death camps, so can someone explain to me like I'm 5 why we should give one single fuck about who they want to nominate for twofuckingthousandtwentyEIGHT?? Be so for real now

This is awful, and it's the tip of the iceberg. Trains 351,352,353,354 were cancelled for 2 solid weeks, and Amtrak made zero substantive public statements on why that happened and what they were doing to fix it. Like do what you've gotta do, but EXPLAIN. www.fox17online.com/news/local-n...

I also think algorithms have collapsed genres. People talk about scripted shows and movies like they’re real people; they talk about reality shows like they’re scripted. The net result is the whole conversation feels dumber and angrier.

On a grand jury, the prosecutor controls the entire process and all information (including legal interpretations) the jurors have. There is no judge present and the ability of the accused to present evidence is so constrained they almost never bother.

i cannot believe we're doing Discourse on whiskey fridays with tony dokoupil

She followed this by crashing out on X because she didn't get invited to the invite-only bus press conference the mayor and MTA held today. She's FOIL'ing the invitees and RT'ing Andrew Fine's Transportation Alternatives conspiracy theory nonsense. Embarrassing that any outlet takes her seriously.

The posture here is noteworthy. The judge acknowledges that he lacks jurisdiction over Ms. Lopez's petition (bc of when it was filed). However, because the gov't defied a prior court order, the judge retains inherent authority to hold the gov't in civil contempt to correc that violation.

20+ hrs after the Trump admin was supposed to disburse $200M withheld from the Hudson River tunnel project, “there is no sign of a wire transfer of any money,” the NJ and NY AGs say in a new filing, requesting an emergency status conference this afternoon storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This could have been any rich person in Manhattan who's taken an improv class, you could fill Madison Square Garden

An aspect of this is that the whole system was broken for so long that the resulting demand is a cash cow for anyone who wants to build anything at any level of housing, and money talks. "Keeping things broken" simply isn't a strong constituent group in this environment

We first reported these comments several months ago, along with the fact Carl deleted all his tweet and then had them removed from the Wayback Machine - but he forget to ask for his old username removed. bsky.app/profile/cnn....

weird that they chose this blurb instead of something like “Traffic Sign Involved in protestor related hacking, authorities say”

These fucking assholes.

mods on vacation. time to deep fry a turkey inside the house

I really don't understand this. And it can't be explained by "Pickleball is annoying" okay so we have strenuous and burdensome enforcement on Pickleball but not on human trafficking of child sexual assault victims, why do we live here

I saw nothing.

The year is 2015. China is getting richer and more powerful every year, but America has three trump cards: universitities, biomedical research, and immigration.

I hesitate to ever link to the NY Post, but it’s worth seeing how they frame this story: as if you too could easily get away with shooting your family members who are critical of Trump.

LMFAO

“…in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane, according to people familiar with the incident.”

Saw SHAUN OF THE DEAD opening weekend, randomly, because it was 90+° outside and I needed air conditioning and I had time to kill. No one had recommended it to me. Had zero clue what awaited.

And yet the Post just laid off 13 climate reporters.

I didn't know the part about Hairspray. For real? How did she land all those jobs? Is she connected to Epstein

Giving Dems the power to run violent unaccountable armed agencies is not better.

Once again louder for the people in the back if you're going to put "Mamdani's doing a bad job" in the newspaper you should be prepared to back that up with both strong evidence AND context, while acknowledging that most of his voters are getting most of what they voted for

The former head of the NYPD’s school safety division solicited and accepted bribes from the CEO of a tech company in a bid to snag a multi-million deal to put his panic button software in NYC’s public schools, federal prosecutors charged. www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/12/k...
