Lawmakers and bible thumpers don't want you to understand the people they're demonizing are doing more good for society than they ever would

Ugh, it just took four pages of identifying traffic lights to prove I wasn't a robot and now I'm having doubts.

So anyway, yes that explains why I have a string of infrared LEDs on my head.

Their commandments are such a big line in the sand they elected Trump president, who has likely broken all ten of them.

My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs. When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.

I am brimming with holiday spirit

Every nazi movement needs a youth wing.

Surprise!

Translation - he hasn't received his bribe yet. Come cough up your donation to the Epstein Ballroom.

They are now targeting people who did everything by the book and were literally at the ceremony where they were going to become citizens... "Immigrants lined up to become U.S. citizens in Boston on Dec. 4 were pulled from line by USCIS officials moments before the oath ceremony"

Intensely funny because it seems like the vast majority of people at that event were convinced it was fully autonomous and Musk has repeatedly recently claimed they're not tele-operated www.reddit.com/r/robotics/c...

I recently saw a comment that basically said "Maga gain comfort from being lied to" and I'm not sure how you're meant to counter that.

Been there, done that, waved the miniature American flag. I went in thinking it was a mere paperwork task and ended up pretty moved by the end of the ceremony.

Seems fine, mild even?

Evil Spock doesn't have time for your bullshit.

There are well upwards of a BILLION dollars (of OUR money) this year funneled to projects designed specifically to make Trump feel Good about himself: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... Trumps private and public furious response to the onrush of media coverage about his mind, health, age, sleep…

You guys, I just went to the new Microcenter unsupervised and didn't buy anything. I'm very proud of myself. That place could make me poor very quickly.

Yes but also redrawing those maps doesn't come with a guarantee. We've just seen a 15 point shift in Tennessee. You're skimming of one district to fill another. If people turn up instead of treating it like a normal midterm it could get interesting.

If you want to feel really smart, try reading some comments under an Apollo moon landing video. Even if you assume a large proportion are just trolls doing it for the lulz or bots, it's depressing as hell because the flat earth/moon landing conspiracy to far right pipeline is a real thing.

Mike Pence still has the chance to do the right thing about group L.

Did nobody tell Wayne Gretzky how to pronounce any of these countries?

Oh boy group L looking like the group of death.

England in group L hopefully not L for losers!

This world cup draw is going to take all day.

Something has Norbert spooked in the backyard this morning. Barking up a storm.

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.

Historically only the IOC is more corrupt than FIFA. The answer is he likes all the bribes that are associated with it.

Having ridden in many Waymos (Waymi?) I can tell you I feel a lot safer in them than I do in any human driven taxi or car service I've had and they actually know where they're going too.

not the top-voted reply, but this is a hilarious way to troll white people

OH THIS IS HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣

"FBI’s case against the [J6 pipe bomb] suspect is not based on a new breakthrough ... but instead on a review the FBI conducted in recent weeks of evidence that had already been gathered and which the department had ... largely collected in 2021 and 2022." www.ms.now/news/fbi-arr...

I recently did a Google Lens search of a photo of a house someone posted. Google's Ai answer confidently gave me two possible matches that looked nothing like the original. Ironically, below that was a Zillow link to the exact house. Most of this info is freely available already without Ai.

Do I believe this is the actual suspect or do I pause to consider whether Patel and Bongino jumped the gun to get a public “win”? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The secret of good comedy is... timing. Same goes for inventions. We now have ubiquitous e-scooters and e-bikes. The ipod was not the first or even a very good mp3 player but it timed itself just right for the internet to allow downloads. There are many other examples.

Really, this post is a universal adaptor.

What is it about drivers in December that just sort of forget how to drive?

Things this administration believes: - asylum seekers come from insane asylums - the fog of war is an actual physical meteorological phenomenon - social media posts have the full force of the law Any I've missed?

Interesting. Even though Behn lost yesterday in Tennessee, she saw a huge swing blue in that district, losing by far less than you'd expect for a +22 Trump area. Any Republican in a less than +15 point district should be very nervous about keeping their job. Voting for ACA extention would help.

Remember the “where can we travel to get vaccines?” panic earlier this year and we made noise and it was all fine? 1. That’s probably because they were too chaotic to figure out how to do this very bad thing. 2. You both need to make all the noise in the world -and- start figuring out your plan B

There's a reason the Republicans are panicked and doing redistricting. The problem is it may be counterproductive. Imagine skimming off a bit of some R+20 districts to flip a D district leaving them only R+15 and suddenly you find you're swimming against a -15 tide.

We've seen more evidence from the Epstein Files than we have that these boats were actually running drugs.

One thing that Trump worked out is that if you are constantly campaigning as he has been from 2015 onwards, the firehose just exhausts you and they can respond to anything with "that's already been litigated". So if you think 2028 is too far away, I say "Kelly 2028" let's start the firehose.

Professional breath holders torn on whether to hold their breath waiting for the Epstein Files to be released or to hold their breath waiting for Hegseth to resign.
