Prediction markets should be outlawed. Period.

It's not the first Turbocharged Saab, but it is a super rare five-door 900 Turbo. The five-door continued elsewhere until the end, but Americans could only buy it in 1979 and 1980, and most were not Turbos.

The Cars & Coffee Debut, featuring my friend Ryan's '59 DeSoto, a '72 El Camino and a really neat 1970 Ford Mustang Grande (created in 1969 as the "luxury" Mustang).

They did make a deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was agreed to by all five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. Who threw that deal away for nothing? Oh right.

were you dehumanized this week? here’s $10 🩷

Another point that underlines this dumb idea? Staggered wheels and 21-inchers in the back make no sense. A full set of four identical 18s would ride better, be cheaper to service, and probably mean more range per day. Cabs aren't about aesthetics unless they're on a set in a period movie.

Now we're rockin' with a trunk of funk. (New radio to replace the 8-track. Sorry, 8-track stans.)

He eats roadkill? So ... cheap-as-free cuts work for him?

It'd be wild (and funny) if Pete Hegseth were the person who popped the AI bubble.

Turbo Friday. From last night.

Made it to Fort Kent ahead of the annual Can-Am 🛷🐾 Best of luck to everyone racing this weekend!

First of all -- fuck you, Pete. None of this is happening in the faculty lounges of your fever dreams. Second, I've taught military personnel in our PhD programs and if you think slamming the door to Harvard and Princeton in their faces is "having their back" you're even dumber than you sound.

And third, Uncle Drunky, it's not the Department of War.

China: We cured types 1 and 2 diabetes US ponytailed IT guy with much younger wife: typical of such an insecure society

It’s not that I think Graham Platner is a Nazi. I don’t think that characterization is true. I just think he’s really fucking stupid, which to me is disqualifying for a senator or really any elected official

Imo what is happening on x is that the algorithm loves racist and anti semitic content, and the people who are on there marinate in it all day, and the epstein files has offered an excuse for even left identified people to indulge in the trangressive pleasure of public bigotry as a little treat

What happens when trans folks try to get a job but their ID now has the wrong gender (and probably deadname)? Or when a trans person tries to vote but the gender marker on ID doesn't match their appearance? What happens to all the trans ppl who cannot afford a new ID?

beyond being morally and ethically correct, standing up for trans rights is actually a winning stance imo?? like, i think more than ever people want to see someone with a freakin backbone standing up for other human beings????

Marisa is legit. Please share if you know someone she can talk to.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This dude has been visiting America every other year for 15 years, fwiw. Something horrifying has changed.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

In 1938, Germany invalidated the passports of all Jews overnight + required all identifying documents of Jewish people to be surrendered. They only became valid after being marked with a red letter, signifying a Jew. So stop calling MAGA red states nazis. They say it's mean. And read this thread.

In other news, Ron White's "You Can't Fix Stupid" was released 20 years ago this month.

Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

It is very hard not to have a safe choice to use the bathroom in public. It may be impossible to continue living, working, eating, etc without a valid driver's license if your life was built around driving and the assumption that your license wouldn't be invalidated overnight by the legislature.

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

Exactly this. And this is why it is extremely important that if you care about bodily autonomy you have to care about trans healthcare rights. If the federal government can take away my right to testosterone, they can take away your right to birth control. And they want to do both.

I don’t think people understand what’s this means: MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ARE BLOCKING ALL WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, INSULIN PUMPS, GLUCOSE MONITORS, CPAP MACHINES, NEBULIZERS, BEDS, CRUTCHES, COMODE CHAIRS, BED SORE PRESSURE PADS, CHAIR LIFTS, OXYGEN TANKS, BREATHING EQUIPMENT, to name a few.

Hey, I know who we could ask about Medicare Fraud.

Granted this is a HUUUGE area of Medicare fraud. This is the exactly wrong way to deal with it. The fraud is NOT wheel chairs & prostheses and CPAPs This is what you do when you just want to harm disabled people because you don't count them as human. That's why Vance is standing there.

1. Major news on trans youth care. The American Psychological Association has reaffirmed its full support for its 2024 guidelines supporting trans youth car.e It provided documentation showing Jesse Singal mischaracterized their position in the NYT. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This poor man, who was blind, was first forced to plead guilty to trespassing and weapons possession to get released because he accidentally wandered onto a woman’s porch using a curtain rod as a cane (that’s the weapon) and she called police.

There's no need to watch really, the live blogging tells you everything you need to know. Not that it wasn't entirely predictable, mind you. Let other people watch, I got real things to do.

Like most rational and scientific minded people, I take my cues on the healthcare needs of minority groups from the Catholic Church, the Alliance Defending Freedom, and sundry rightwing influencers with a weird fixation on birth rates. I am the New York Times, a serious newspaper.

the FP and its readership have polarized themselves into repeatedly defending the indefensible in order to elicit a response from people who are still able to feel concern for others or shame at their actions. they do it because they know that looking inward will be painful. let's make them.

"internally displaced refugees" is a perfectly valid way to describe about 2/3rds of my trans friends but it makes squishy Dems who aren't sure if trans rights poll well uncomfortable, so I never hear it said about us

Small detail but extra funny that this guy dropped fifty grand trying to be "the first EV truck to cross the Rubicon" when a Rivian had done it before the first CTs were even delivered.

It's amazing how much goodwill one hockey team can squander in like just 15 minutes.

some of the olympic women including maddie mastro have been reposting this if you’re curious about the vibe in response to the US men’s little display

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

RECIRCULATED, NOT HOARDED is a winning message!
