Most shiny Pokémon look worse than the normal versions.

Trump showed up with a bandaged hand, got confused and had to ask a reporter to use “fewer words,” thanked Colombia for sending cocaine, said “affordability is a hoax” and appeared to announce he’s going to blow up boats on land. Hey media, it’s spelled D-E-M-E-N-T-I-A

You know what, no, it’s not ok to air-blow your nose as a cyclist on a busy commuter cycle lane. Second time in the last 3 weeks that the cyclist in front of me has emptied both his nostrils while cycling without checking how close the cyclists behind him are. 😫

Never gonna argue the old system of distribution was better because for some people it was impossible to receive, but I really do miss how special event Pokémon giveaways used to feel. Hauling my ass to GameStop definitely made it feel more exciting as opposed to just downloading one in an update.

There is nothing more dangerous than these “earned wage access” services that make you pay to get access to your paycheck a week or 2 early. Companies like Walmart are even calling this part of employee benefits. That is a payday loan. And now so integrated it cannot be regulated

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

I think the government should address pre crime (The conditions that create the desperation and hopelessness that pushes people towards crime)

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition

Abled people, who by definition don't regularly interact with healthcare as patients, are always shocked when told about nurses being *wildly* full of woo. Everyone else is like "yeah dude, half the time your nurse is gonna tell you it's demons and that you need more blue light or something"

the visual shorthand for futuristic technology in a lot of mainstream media now is like "what if your phone or tablet was just a clear rectangle" bc they've run out of ways to make tech look "newer" and it's literally a terrible idea like why would u want that it would make reading so difficult

My prediction. The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

“In a statement of the former JAGs Working Group, the former military lawyers analyzed … relevant international and domestic law, concluding that ‘both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both.’”—the Contrarian Just as Congressmen warned.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Dems release a video reminding troops of their responsibility to disobey illegal orders. They’re called seditionists. WaPo breaks the news that Hegseth said to kill survivors of a boat strike. WH: “It wasn’t him! It was Admiral Bradley!” This is why you disobey illegal orders

One weird thing about the cycling debate is how frequently some driver will offer a story where they almost hit a bike and they’ve never ever forgiven that cyclist. It’s so very strangely specific

Lord help me. They are putting in a roundabout in my rural Iowa town, and the people with truck selfie profile pictures are calling it woke.

Reminder: if you’re in a club and the music is bumping and the bartender has ear plugs in.. trying to start a convo when they openly tell you over and over again that they can hardly understand what you are saying… Maybe you should stop and visit another time when it’s not a club night.

Laughable AI nonsense aside, the guys running this "independent" effort are Republican operatives??

The fate of the free world rests on someone who requires weekly MRI tests to monitor his advancing dementia. We can do better.

I'm 30. Growing up, my great aunt lived with me and my family. She lived to over 95. She was born in 1915... 2 years after Harriet Tubman died. Never let them tell you it was "so long ago". It's just a few generations back

Myth: drivers deserve more space on roads than cyclists & pedestrians because they pay registration and gas taxes Facts: (1) registration and gas taxes don’t cover all the costs of road construction and maintenance; (2) most bikers/peds also have a car (90% of US households owns one)

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. They coined the term “useless eaters”. They tested the gas chambers on us. They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives. That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous. We’re not expendable

People who could leak are probably writing books and their book deals are more important than the american people knowing the truth.

The pentagon papers were leaked changing history. I don’t get why the Epstein files are so protected. Seems like there would be someone out there that would leak them.

trump has lost total control of the white house, he's no longer in charge, he is just doing what miller and vought instruct him to do

Trump always telegraphs what he's going to do ahead of time. Note the phrase 'We should win the midterm elections if....'. This is the beginning of the groundwork for claiming fraud.

Closing the airspace over a foreign country is a de facto declaration of war but we’ve pushed so far into “let’s conspicuously underreact so everyone knows we’re savvy people not overreacting to Trump” that his de facto declaration of war is literally not even being reported on the news

someone hep these universities and institutions to the fact paying the government a bribe won't make them stop thinking up new threats to solicit more bribes and in fact has the opposite effect

Exhibit 926 in criminal contempt proceedings. Noem’s declaration is due Friday to Judge Boasberg.

Every time I get groceries I am admittedly amazed. The prices just keep climbing especially on the most random shit. Like bell peppers. What the fuck man. Those shouldn’t be at the price they are now. What the actual hell?

Passed a plowed bike lane last night and took sick satisfaction in all the haters who must’ve been mad about it. But I appreciate you, Minneapolis public works. (The street had a pass, too.)

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

An Afghan man shoots two National Guards and immigration requests from ALL third world countries gets paused. American men shoot up schools and absolutely nothing happens. No discussion of gun control. No public press conference. No flags at half mast. It’s just forgotten.

Me at the pharmacy: “Yes I’d like my 500% off drugs please.”

Folk who think Walz is DFL’s best shot in 2026 should realize he may be among the worst. Sure, it’s the New York Times, but the headline “How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch” crystallizes how Ds can’t depend on GOP failure forever. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

Why aren’t the Epstein files released yet? Still being doctored up with black Sharpies?

Package Tracking is nice, but it can be overdone. I got four emails today for one package: Seller: Hey! UPS says it's on the truck. UPS: It's on the truck. UPS: It's on your porch. Seller: Hey! UPS says it's on your porch. And that doesn't count two dogs losing their minds at the UPS truck.

Strib adds up every budget amendment that affecting mayor’s office & declares council wants to fire Frey’s entire staff. No one really believes this; story buries Chughtai’s reasonable comment that amendments are CM ideas, starting points, not enacted collectively www.startribune.com/budget-battl...

Is the United States about to shoot down commercial jets flying over South America? This, unfortunately, is now a serious question.

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

Jesus…a lot of people really love bread.

this reminds me of a friend who thought he was middle class so he donated his car to a charity that helps poor people and a month later, he saw his car at his neighbor's house
