“Republican majorities in both House and Senate fail to end shutdown”

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

In two weeks, Robert Roberson could be the first person in the U.S. executed based on the discredited "shaken baby syndrome" hypothesis. Share his story far and wide and urge Gov. Abbott to stop Robert's 10/16 execution: 737-277-6778

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

i just finished reading Said’s “Orientalism” and one of my takeaways was that someone needs to write a version of “Orientalism” for economics (i say this as an economist) #EconSky 📈📉

i don’t need a self-driving car i need a self-diagnosing car that can tell me it just needs a new spark plug so i don’t stress out over car repairs

The real-life impact of Trump and Musk’s freeze on USAID Drugs and food, intended for global aid, instead languished and rotted in warehouses — and some children withered and died. Sweeping, damning investigation by my @washingtonpost.com colleagues.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

i am the decomposing kitchen refuse in which others grow and flourish in the garden i decay that they might thrive i dissipate that they might propagate

SCOTUS rules that stove-fucking is now required of all Americans, penalty for non-compliance is fucking the stove

There we are.

same woman who just yesterday was whining to Bessent about Argentina selling soy beans to China after getting a bailout from the US, when it used to be American farmers who sold their soy beans to China guess the GoP is just gonna have to accept that everyone will be a soy boy now

The Palestinian photojournalist who Israel killed an hour ago, Yahia Barzaq, was a newborn photographer. I’m sharing here some of his photography.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

it's genuinely somewhat absurd that a literal 85 year old Reagan appointee feels more mad about this than Senator Fetterman

Republicans control the House. They control the Senate. Donald Trump is the president, for heaven’s sake!   If they can’t figure out how to keep the government open before tomorrow night’s deadline, then this shutdown is on their shoulders. No one else’s.

i love stressing over a looming auto repair expense as i just try to get confirmation of where to take my car (dealer or mechanic) while the absolute stupidest racists and fascists wreck the country

Undocumented immigrants aren’t even *allowed* to access Medicare, Medicaid or ACA credits. Republicans like Randy are going to spike your health insurance premiums, but they REALLY want you to blame an immigrant instead.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

I'm skimming, but this paragraph stood out:

Holy shit this opinion. Wow.

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.

BREAKING A federal judge that the Trump admin's policy targeting pro-Palestinian students for deportation violated the First Amendment. His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response.

Lol

“As I drink my coffee” -is not something anyone says unless they know people are wondering if it’s something else.

“this meeting could have been a compromised signal group chat”

The silent reaction to Hegseth speaks volumes

i'd be so pissed if i got called back to the united states from my post in like Lithuania to listen to a guy pretend to be Patton while espousing Facebook Uncle Thought

So this is a very, very desperate move - a very silly app of generative AI slop that will be incredibly expensive for OpenAI to run, and on top of it, they're requiring rights holders to *opt out* once they see violations. You can't do it in advance. They're washed, and trying everything to survive.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

mf what do you think politics is…

The party of "personal responsibility" refuses to take responsibility for shit.

Rollins to Bessent: “we bailed out Argentina and then they undercut us on soybeans to China and now China is going to eat our lunch” these people…they are so, so, so stupid 📸 Angelina Katsanis

That's what it looks like when any human being gets shot, though. If it's okay with Republicans when the victims are 6-year-olds, not clear why that level of violence is haunting when it's a grown man. www.mediaite.com/media/i-cant...

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

been in the office for less than 20 minutes and i’m already caught up/done with work for the day

My big question about tomorrow’s meeting of the generals is if somebody will surreptitiously record it. Or how many people will surreptitiously record it.

Yeah, everyone hates the AI subway ads as much as you do nygroove.nyc/ai-subway-ads/

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

referring to them as the chardonnay set rather than champagne liberals is surely some kind of new economic indicator

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

i said to noted felon and philanderer TX AG Ken Paxton during covid “i hope no one in your family gets covid and dies” in response to some sociopathic bullshit he tweeted
