Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

People are roasting this lede, but NYM is actually correct to print it. Toilet paper is so scarce in prisons that it is sometimes used as a currency. It shouldn't be restricted, for any person, but the fact that it isn't for her (and her alone) is a sign of extremely special treatment.

Düsseldorf is just showing off at this point

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

That weird feeling you have been having lately is Trauma, dear reader.

These are my medals, mother! From army

“Liberal“ Christians without liberation theology are so exhausting… the Chuck Schumers of the religious world

They should invent a government that isn’t senile pedophile adolf hitler

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

This was such an upsetting surprise lol

I'd maybe say "subsumed" instead of "replaced" but yes

a “Space Force”, if you will

I really hope Salisbury cathedral is aware of how much time I personally spend taking the mick out of them online

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

THE NEWS: [directly implicated in global pedophile ring] How is this news?

Can we all appreciate the woman at the Düsseldorf airport train station who wordlessly showed us how to use our ticket transfers because apparently we looked confused enough for pity

These ICE guys are clowns, albeit very dangerous ones. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/11/i...

Oh?

Chicagoans say their iconic Michigan Avenue retail district is called the Magnificent Mile. Donald Trump says it is called the Miracle Mile Shopping Center. As with most controversies, the truth may lie somewhere in between.

I hate starlink and think it's evil but it's giving me free WiFi on my Air Baltic flight to Düsseldorf so I can continue to play skycards while on the plane, just in case anyone thought I had the moral high ground

something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.

You know how you used to be extra nice to the weed guy bringing you an illegal thing, right?

If the legal system were the same as morality, they would have been intimidated INTO NOT BEING SILENT because of the risk of a manslaughter charge when a sex abuse victim dies by suicide but

I don't want to deny that things are still pretty bad, that decarbonisation has to go a lot further, but I really do think it's worth acknowledging that given 15-20 years ago we were on course for a 4C rise, that we're now looking at 2.2-2.6C is a genuinely herculean and heroic achievement.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Looks like JD Vance is going to need to change religions again.

The Times literally pulled their top Clinton reporter off the beat to join several other reporters to pore through the mind-numbing trivia from John Podesta's inbox, resulting in zero stories of any substantive or prurient interest

damn a lot of these epstein pen pals are kinda giving off ‘unindicted co-conspirator’ energy huh

christ almighty

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

“Oh wow, how bad could a rebranding be?” [two paragraphs into the story] “Oh.”

my preference is that Harvard would be bulldozed, graded, and planted with trees, which would moot this out, but I don't oppose it

The reason JE gave this advice is that he used doctors to control, medicate, and discredit his own rape victims

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Elon made himself a virtual Smithers

I have a meeting to get yelled at for "productivity" at work and now the manager is in another call and is pushing it back 10 minutes and I just want to get yelled at and get it over with

i really truly wish any of the epstein furore was caused by a genuine concern for cruelty for teenage girls, for exploited kids. it would be a different country if it was, of course, but the discourse is sometimes jarring

Our editorial stance is kidnappings are bad. This is not Real Journalism because it's important to be neutral about atrocities

This is a fine first step to get a baseline but ultimately the court has to order ICE to comply with unscheduled site visits. Otherwise the feds are just playing a shell game.

Hey leah, how are you handling your pre-travel anxiety this time? Oh just a little light podcast listening.

Here’s a great example of Homeland Security and Tricia McLaughlin propaganda not being true. They’re going around claiming credit for Chicago experiencing the fewest summer murders since 1965. That was true and reported locally before Midway Blitz even began.

Do they know how obvious it is that they're talking about their own insecurities
