It’s startling how much more urban third-tier Canadian cities are compared to Midwestern cities in the US that once saw their competition as Chicago, or booming Sunbelt cities

Good morning! 🪶

Our government shot & killed an American citizen during a stop last year. We’re only finding out about it now. Where’s the outrage ⁦‪from Senators Cornyn‬⁩ & ⁦‪Cruz‬⁩ ? This is their constituent. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

нали осъзнавате, че "Израел има право на съществува" - безсмисленият лозунг, който приехте безкритично като послушни пионерчета, има за цел да свива натиска върху Израел да не издевателства над съседите си? реторичен въпрос, ест че кухите ви кратуни нищо не осъзнават

It’s a lot safer to say AI than Trump caused policy uncertainty so we’ll probably be hearing about AI taking jobs until he’s out of office or the labor market turns the bend

This is why all that "tensions heat up as risk of conflict builds" language is bullshit. If anyone really thought Iran was acting aggressively we wouldn't park half the air force wingtip to wingtip within range of every missile from Shahid Modarres to Haji Abad. It's an entirely one way conflict.

Old news but an interesting example of how, specifically, Cuba gets screwed over by the US. Even a Chinese wind turbine manufacturer which uses some US-made parts must get an export license, which then causes them to run afoul of a pre-revolution company www.americanbar.org/groups/busin...

Prime example of why there is no safe level of exposure to X propaganda, no matter how immune you think you are. One day you're a highly intelligent, influential political leader. The next you're sharing content from an Infowars conspiracy theorist to your millions of followers. Get off that site.

The hotel workers union is really an underrated villain in New York City, just constantly trying to make this city worse. Leaving aside the details of Jessica vs. Jessica, their two big policy priorities are banning new hotels, and forcing extractive casinos down our throats?

imagine watching your child fight for life from an illness you literally caused them to get and then going on the news to brag about it. I hope he lives to see this article and never speaks to this woman again. I hope he knows he didn't deserve a mother who didn't love him. I hope hell is real.

I assumed Wesley Dingus was a lazy riff on Les Wexner but

If they let me have at it, I could save them way more than this $29 million on their capital projects. Renovating and building basic low-rise libraries is now running them $2,000-$3,000 psf.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. We're an inch away from the most significant US political action since 2003, foreign or domestic, manufactured entirely by Israel and Israel-first American politicians and lobbyists, and NOBODY CARES

Q: is there a technology that "the left" is excited about? A:

So if you're keeping score. Ethylmercury, the kind that isn't dangerous in small amounts and you poop out can no longer be in vaccines but the bad mercury, methylmercury, that your body can't clear out well and remains in your bloodstream is ok!

People don't realize this but this is what Reacher is based on

In 2009 I wrote an article claiming that it took 37 gallons of water to make a roll of toilet paper. A student recently called me out on it, and it's embarrassing how this has become the conventional wisdom. It has been repeated so often that even AI believes it now. My confession:

Just once I’d love these guys to come back from Europe and say “Had a great time in Europe” instead of endorsing a Fourth Reich

Well, I have a brother in law who lives in the Bay Area and just enjoys his life with his family in what's probably one of the prettiest parts of the country because he doesn't do something stupid and useless for a living

why have subway fare then? why have commuter rail fares? why give tickets for littering to the people too poor to pay these fares, who somehow also have the money for bottles of soda they leave on the floor there?

This is literally what terrifies them the most btw. If you cover up your face like an ICE agent they assume you are scared and ashamed. If you don't care to cover it then they know you're moving with confidence and the world's oppressed majority at your back.

Oh no guys! We can't have white people shorting out and burning down concentration camps in broad daylight. They must be masked and move at night, and use Signal to tell me about it ahead of time! I am not a federal agent out to discredit righteous action against fascism

Why isn't he masked up? Why isn't he saying all of this on Signal?!

There's a great blue heron silhouetted in that cypress tree over Reelfoot Lake in west Tennessee in this photo. Reelfoot was formed by the New Madrid fault earthquake in 1811. #BirdOfTheDay #blueskybirds #birds #ReelfootLake #canonwildlifephotography #originalphotography

I'm glad they're laughing at him and he looks like he's about to cry but he will still by laid low by the scythe of Woke 2

it’s kinda funny how some think tanks are like “we should introduce sensible, economically sound policies to win over swing voters” while the politicians who actually win over swing voters are like, the dumbest people on earth

At some point people will have to understand that these guys aren't in the Trump administration despite their friendship with Jeffrey Epstein but precisely because of it

ICE Kidnapping people in Staten Island, NY (2/11/26)

I don’t know why people always come to this conclusion as if we are living in a country where powerful people ever face consequences. They don’t have to act like there won’t be a power transfer, the power transfer won’t impact them either way!

“Why are democrats cutting ties with their MAGA family members??”

“What is happening along the Yangtze suggests how this will evolve elsewhere. Europe’s Rhine corridor, N. America’s Mississippi system, and SE Asia’s Mekong delta all have the same combination of dense trade, predictable routes, and nearby renewable resources.” cleantechnica.com/2025/10/26/t...

You do NOT want to live with the ghost of a dictator who is still popular with 40% of the country and a completely captive corporate media. Everybody will whitewash his crimes in three seconds flat and you will essentially the path of the next authoritarian.

If you haven't been following along, airlines are canceling flights to Cuba because they're running out of jet fuel. Marco Rubio's maneuvers in Venezuela are bearing fruit and strengthening the embargo's grip around Cuba's throat. Please make this call! Cuba is entitled to food and fuel.
