The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living, and other observations on the Widow's Bay season finale

Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.

former Army reservist Pete Hegseth wearing a MARINES t-shirt doing fake reps while actual devil dogs smoke him in a workout he can't handle is unfortunately par for the course

IDK this seems like waste, fraud, and abuse.

gotta admit, talking about adding seats to scotus and the house and getting rid of the electoral college will get my attention

I am by no means a big Pete enthusiast but this is a winning platform.

Good news is nice.

As an undecided voter I support the prosecution of Stephen Miller for crimes against humanity and look forward to supporting a 2028 Democratic primary candidate who prioritizes that.

The idea that this just happened to the Broadview 6 — forcing grand juries to indict by cajoling them in an elevator, vouching to the grand jury, and telling "no" votes to leave if they don't want to indict — is nuts. It's probably happening everywhere. And it means the law as we know it is dead.

I just want to point out to any game three Knicks ticket holders that “JEFF-REY EP-STEIN” reads out beautifully to a classic five clap crowd chant

Bluesky has the sports juice

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

I wasn't sure what to expect. Seeing the whole thing didn't help much.

You sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but the acting Attorney General directed the IRS to stop all ongoing audits of Trump, but we know from leaked tax returns that Trump owes more than $100 million in unpaid taxes, so Trump is basically just giving himself a free hundred plus million dollars.

"There's an effective treatment but the Powers That Be are keeping it from you" is the age-old argument of cranks and grifters. Embarrassing for Wired to run this.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

Trump on his ballroom: "This is all military. And then you have the drone ports and the sniper ports."

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

How many times do we have to replicate this example before people get over the need to punish the poor

This remains so funny to me. Note the “last updated” line.

This is so fucked. And a prime example of why I have disdain for people who fuck around with this stuff at all. Even as a hobby. None of those schmucks have put themselves out there in any meaningful way, but those who do, and carve a path for themselves are getting railroaded by this kind of shit

Cecilia Vega, the first 60 Minutes Latina correspondent, was fired today, along with some of her colleagues, as Bari Weiss overhauls the news magazine. She has released this statement:

good time for my country to be hemorrhaging science and engineering PhDs

US government: Chinese cars are a security risk! Ford: we would like to import them as Lincolns. Google: we’d like to buy their EVs in bulk as Waymo’s. US government: of course, do whatever you want! It’s time to put this “rules for thee but not for me” era behind us. bsky.app/profile/d2lo...

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

of course I was never taught this in school. of course. but today is the day I learned this most essential bit of history: time.com/5836444/blac...

Selina Wang of NBC was filming while gunshots went off outside the White House.

If I were the Angel of History, I would simply close my wings and refuse to be propelled into the future.

This shit drives me crazy as a Jew. The more people hear that “it’s antisemitic to criticize foreign rape prisons” the larger a segment of the population will think, “Huh, I guess I hate Jews then.”

Absolutely flabbergasted at this framing

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

Not only is Trump the most corrupt president in U.S. history, you could make a persuasive case that about a dozen things he has done this term would earn him that title even if he’d done nothing else. And we’ve learned about two of those things just in the past week.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3
