quick reminder that the only reason we know about the fraud is because it was discovered and corrected. the system correctly policed itself! in the end, the demand from the right is that *no one attempt to defraud the government,* a thing that cannot possibly be controlled

the new ios has "liquid glass," and apple might have officially jumped the shark it looks like shit. messages looks like shit. everything is glossy and layered and a complete contrast nightmare

I really cannot put into words my appreciation and love for my whole community, which is uniformly united against these bullies. The unity is what gives everyone the resolve to carry on. They cannot stop or scare us all

conservative: we have to have guns to protect our rights from government tyranny me: holy shit! like the tyranny ice is doing in minnesota? con: lol no...no not that me: so....chicago? con: haha no not that either me: which tyranny, exactly? con: oh, you know the one

"government shouldn't be picking winners and losers," they frothed whenever someone wanted a new safety regulation

three employees suddenly rolled up in the frozen section and i hear "it just chips away, i can't get it off ... there are like three more" bless whoever's been busy this afternoon at target. maybe if you didn't let bovino piss in your stores and abduct your employees...

once you've seen the ratchet, you can't unsee it -- republicans win? the "liberal media" is caught off guard, we need more conservative voices to understand the country -- democrats win? we need more conservative voices bitching about everything so they don't feel left behind

is there a legitimate reason for this to be aimed at the mayor or is someone at the times spinning out on main again

nothing but respect for MY president 😂

if weiss is confused about this, she can simply crack open her ap styleboo--HAHAHA, just kidding, she's never touched one of those in her life because she is not now and has never been a journalist

national dems, are you paying attention? because you're gonna need the stomach for a whole lot of this type of thing if you don't have it, announce your retirement pronto

im so sorry.. that anchor is fighting for his liiiifeeeee

"we talked with people who mainline complete fabrications about every urban center in the country, and shockingly they parroted those lies back to us"

but i was assured by this policy memo just this morning that the public loves ice! and by third way yesterday! this is the fight republicans want!!!

someone should start compiling The Objective Journalist's Bible, in which we write down the many tenets that become articles of faith that cannot be revisited or examined in any way for example, donald trump is good at and smart about real estate

We are so far beyond "show us your papers." They don't want to see the papers. We are now into the "give us the names" stage of the occupation.

i used to do the layout and writing for the video game spread in an entertainment magazine and you better believe games with better art got better placement! once positioned the smash bros. characters all across the bottom of the spread because nintendo provided key art of every single one

oh this is just fantastic

ok when you said "testing out set designs" i was not picturing a simple backdrop with background art from a late '90s point-and-click mystery game set on the titanic

was really curious if she was mad at her staff for not going out and actively defending her online or if they're the source of the criticism she's mad about, and the article isn't really clear about it though it kinda sounds like the latter

nancy for hhs secretary, she's smarter than the one we've got now

is there a single person working in dem comms that understands human emotion? because this seems tailor-made to leave me cold let's see what we left on the table: -- "failing"? no, failed! don't give them space to improve -- "DC GOP"? state electeds suck too, stop tarring with a too-thin brush

to know where this came from, change: -- "ice" to "kirk" -- "left" to "right" -- "mother" to "mfer" every accusation from the right is a confession, part 147

given his deployment of security forces against protestors domestically, i kinda think you have to specify which side trump is gonna intervene on behalf of here

looks like everything is fine at gdq!

lawyers can make for shitty politicians if they forget that the nuance so vital to a legal brief is often poison in politics this statement is Very Technically Correct, when what it needed to be was Visibly Angry (and we know she knows how to do that)

you know what this reminds me of? walz getting mobbed by the kids after signing the free lunch bill more public displays of joy and virtue, please!

part of why we're here is constantly meeting extraordinary developments with ordinary responses

a fantastic piece overall, and this is the exact sort of thing i might find tumbling out of my mouth at the grocery store shortly before wishing for the ground to open up and swallow me

i've seen multiple people mad this morning about that "senate negotiators want more ice funding story," which: -- is from a paywalled outlet on substack called migrant insider that i have never heard of before -- in the two free grafs does not identify which side those negotiators are on

the thing that none of these paeans to comity ever wrestle with is that, in this country, one side's entire thing is "you do you" and the other side's entire thing is "you do what we tell you." one side pushing for coexistence and the other pushing for extermination guess which dude gets lectured?

we have never been more tracked and targeted in our lives and the funniest part about it is that everyone is still pissing their ad dollars away i get multiple video ads a day on youtube music for a rural electric co-op that operates a county away, where i do not live or work and barely visit

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

"someone should really do something about that" pretty much sums up the entire elite response to the last decade

the updated original intro and ending for detective conan's 30th anniversary opener are giving me more feels than i was expecting, what a fun choice and apparently a new mai kuraki ending theme next week? a new year's bounty

i can accept that ai coding tools might be a thing (though i would need to see a study showing that they save time since we have one showing the opposite) but i want to point out that the ai coding tool didn't actually solve the problem here

someone please cut together the separate performances of hips don't lie by wyclef jean on abc and shakira on cnn

love to go to the tire place and say things like "here is my collection of metal things" while holding out the lugnut-adjacent objects gathered in my glove box

one of the fundamental challenges of the liberal project: if you fail at something -- say, publishing a book -- you can be open to the possibility that you suck, or you can find somebody saying you never had a chance for reasons outside your control i don't know how you get folks to pick the former

it brings to mind trump's obvious desire for the nobel peace prize. they're all so incredibly certain that they are the best at whatever it is they do and i can understand that when you actually are good at something yet you let the ego get a little too swollen, but when you straight-up suck?

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

the only thing they actually want is for the maitre d' at the nice restaurant to alight with recognition and mutter "OH, ms. nuzzi! give me just one moment and i'll have a table for you" and the subsequent strut down the runway as everyone cranes their necks to see who's getting vip treatment

the people in bari's social circle have taken their ability to connect a history of vile rhetoric with actions targeting the subject of that rhetoric and burned it from their minds, as the only way to be part of the circle is studious ignorance about people's actual motivations

on behalf of the american people i accept this trade

oh if we know the claims are false, that means they were investigated and there's a record of their falsity then? can we see those records?

i really don't mean any shade to the developers here but this has the energy of like a dic straight-to-video you'd see on the rental shelves next to the empty spots where the disney stuff would be

to me this reads like someone who has never actually thought about or participated in the news-gathering product coming in and being like "obvious gaps here you guys! let's try a little harder mmkay"

my base feeling here: these companies have known for decades that what they do is harmful at a base level and cannot be mitigated and yet bp still stands for british petroleum and not british power. there's no reason exxon couldn't be the world leader in solar panels right now!
