USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Lmao

“All pigeon lives matter” is a pretty good example of the animal activist/racist combo recently highlighted by Bardot’s death.

When you staff your administration with posters, they won't stop being posters.

The biggest input for politics for almost everyone now is their media diet, and you can tell when someone's media diet sucks pretty quickly

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

Wow, seems terrible. If only they put a Smart Businessman in with near-total, unconstitutional remit over federal spending, I bet he could find out and then stomp it all out easily!

Pam Bondi's golden rule: names that shouldn't be redacted, like Donald Trump, always are. Names that should be redacted, like victims and their confidential info, never are.

Literally RETVRN, a scoop from @davecolon.bsky.social

another day working at the japanese artificial mouth company. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck the artificial mouth. buddy, they wont even let me fuck it

Couldn’t she just ask Rick Scott?

Matt Taibbi, Mr. Free Speech, says "I’m obligated to sue" writers like Eoin Higgins who criticize him. He's a giant hypocrite and the world's biggest baby.

"Attention hacking" makes it sound like they are winning the game rather than rigging it - Republicans bought up and control the biggest platforms and audiences. There are machines that literally determine what stories people see and conservatives own the machines.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

"nearly half" is a really funny way to describe losing an election lol

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

ultimately a lot of these guys have the personality trait where they encounter dipshit bullying (which is what a lot of anti-masking sentiment is) and their natural reaction is to make sure the bully thinks they are cool and shouldn't get lumped in with the rejects and losers.

JUST IN: The alleged J6 pipe bomber confessed, said he wanted to “speak up” for those who believed 2020 election was stolen, dislikes both parties and modeled his attack on the Troubles in Ireland. Says he wasn’t targeting the joint session of Congress storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The year is 2035. California's entire base of taxation is young renters and their entire budget goes to insuring suburban McMansions built in fire hazard regions. Half of Florida is underwater financially and the other half literally. Illinois is fine but still fucks up transit funding constantly.

These parents killed their child and we need to say it

Much like transit projects, the state provides billions of dollars for investments everyone agrees that we need…and then we let local busybodies and special interests fuck with the details. It slows delivery and vastly increases the costs! “Local control” is the opposite of Good Government.

INBOX: @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, an investigative reporter at @miamiherald.com who has covered Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking story for nearly a decade, accuses the Trump Department of Justice for tracking her flight history in 2019 and releasing them partially unredacted in the Epstein files

Its insane this dude was the director of intelligence for CENTCOM, director of intelligence of the Joint Staff, director of intelligence for ISAF, and director of the DIA (under Obama)

This is a radio station out of Fort Meyers, a part of the country that looks like this and is going to be underwater before basically anywhere else. This feels like a death drive thing to me.

Ocean heating defies all earlier projections. We are on the worst possible track. Yet this has completely vanished as a topic of conversation in America.

Got this fantastically clever Christmas gift. It's a dedicated algorithm free music player that you can carry around without the distractions of your phone, and it can hold thousands of songs without needing an internet connection. The UI is so simple anyone can manage it. Fantastic

Great read on YouTube. www.ft.com/content/9e75... The relentless rise of YouTube

They're acting like he fucking deserted his post under enemy fire or some shit

This is just sending the reader a signal to be mad at the brown lady

They had contempt for Biden because they believed he had values; they have respect for Trump because they know he doesn't. Mentality of whipped dogs.

I cannot stop laughing. Mamdani is responsible for what the landlord charges after he left? Article sources are basically a list of Republican council members and all of them are *MAD*. Alas, being mad is not a terminal illness. Probably promotes aging tho

The president and trustees of Brown University should repent of their mistake by redeeming their honor.

New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Transit's main competition is cars. If you raise fares from $2.50 to $3, you're still way more affordable than driving. But if you cut the bus from every 15 to every 20, you're screwed because cars have infinity frequency and 24 hr service span.

This is wild shit. And it happened to more than one person so I guess it could be legit. Of course, take everything with a grain of salt. But. DoorDasher made AI pics of delivered food using Street View imagery. Burrito Taxi Meets AI Slop was bound to happen at some point

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

the coal stuff is so annoying because it’s literally not even cost competitive with renewables it’s just vice signaling as energy policy also it’s kind of crazy how democratic politicians bend over backwards to support deep red rural areas while republicans constantly dunk on blue states

JD Vance argues that having Muslims makes the UK and France too dangerous to have nukes, which will be great for US relations with India and Pakistan. So if you’re keeping track, the Trump administration’s position on nuclear arms is: North Korea: cool, nonthreatening France and UK: bad, dangerous

“the president seems to be using the doj to hide his years of involvement with the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history” feels like a story worth reporting on

bro

Urbanism is really about being able to yell stuff at people from the comfort of your home instead of your car.

one of the more obvious ways you can tell this gambit failed is that no one says "judeo christian values" anymore. between like 2000 and 2015 you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting someone in the middle of saying it.

Trump is busy working hard to bring down rent and housing prices just like he campaigned on

This is just Curtis Sliwa’s final form.

I somehow missed this www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/...

To encourage regime change in both Venezuela and Alberta simultaneously just to get their oil is a real VIN Diesel move.
