NEW REPORT from ProPublica finds that Fox News manufactured riots fit for air, using old footage or footage that was not of Portland, for months leading up to September. It was so convincing that the network apparently prompted Trump to send federal forces to the Pacific Northwest. trib.al/koDwQMR

Absolutely no chance that he resigns, but given how stressful the whole thing must be for him, his heart just might.

"'girls?' Careful I will renew an old habit" Anyone that interacted with Epstein knew what he was up to because he didn't just *not* hide it, he actively made jokes about it.

"i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him" "hours" "spent" "hours" VICTIM "spent" HOURS VICTIM "spent" HOURS "with" TRUMP VICTIM "spent" HOURS "with" TRUMP at *Epstein's* house

"If he [Trump] says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you [Epstein] a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt."

“In one of the messages, Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump “knew about the girls,” many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Shareholders really heard stuff like this on the regular and still said "give that man a trillion dollar pay package!"

Best ab workout I've had in years laughing to the second half of this song

For anyone thinking "but I have to neutralize the spray!", try this: Take a cup of vinegar, and dump some baking soda in. See how it violently bubbles up? Now imagine that happening in your eyes. Now, look up what the byproduct of that reaction is, and imagine THAT in your eyes too.

Easy answer: Killmonger from Black Panther. HARD answer: John Doe from Se7en.

When the belly rubs are so good they glitch out and forget how to dog for a few minutes.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

I know it's a minor point, but going through multiple stores looking at greeting/holiday cards and a solid 90% of them are now AI-generated slop.

I should not be laughing this hard, and yet here I am.

Is Drowsy Don a thing? I feel like it should be a thing.

Imagine fighting this hard to prevent poor people from eating.

If Panera said the lemonade recipe was the first in a line of AI-generated offerings, it'd still be on the menu.

Dude had never once in his life pumped gas or stepped into a grocery store.

Random self horn tooting: Quit my dojo and joined a gym ~two weeks ago, and still trying to dial in weights for various machines and exercises. Leg day today. Leg extension machine, five sets. Last set I maxed out the machine at 250lbs for 10 clean reps. Nothing to benchmark this against, but...

Real-time Mandala effect in action with Mamdani re: antisemitism. As fascinating as it is frustrating.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

It's more or less moot now that the election is over, but do yourself a favor and click the link anyway. Of all the possible things they could have done with the URL, this was by far the funniest.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Have to nerd out for a moment over this piece of wood I had on the lathe earlier. The wild grain and spalting that showed up made me inordinately giggly. Can't wait to see how this ultimately comes out.

The little ones love watching old school SNES games, and regularly ask me to run through Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger. I have yet to even hesitate to load them up for them.

In any functioning government, this abuse of resources (during a shutdown, no less) and subsequent coverup attempt would mean an immediate ouster for Kash, and likely a criminal probe as well. But in our timeline, it just gets a thumbs up from the admin, and a collective shrug from media outlets.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

Timely reminder that Trump's one and only loyalty in life is to himself.

Friendly reminder that if you ever see someone shoplifting food, medication, or baby supplies: no you didn't.
