The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

This is in no small part because video games have taken a 50% price cut over the last few decades due to Gamers frothing at the mouth if games ever get above $60, a price point most video games are not profitable at

Rondale Moore had one of the greatest individual performances I've ever seen vs. #2 Ohio State in 2018. He was a True Freshman and completely tore apart a top-ranked defense. Truly a joy to watch him compete. Gone way too soon. Rest in Peace 🙏

If you've been watching the ongoing Epstein files unraveling across Europe, note that the dominoes didn't start falling until one fell. And then another. Finally, the momentum in societies shifted. It will be the same within this administration. They have to remain united. Lest one domino fall.

Kristi Noem continues to blow YOUR taxpayer dollars to jet around in luxury. And she's lying about it.    She wants us to believe *this* private jet is going to be used for deportations? Come on.

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

"What if this patriot is actually really annoying" all patriots are really annoying guys, this is one of the understated parts of *Hamilton*.

okay, here; i've made an assumption about what i think might be a flaw in the press release, and i've rewritten this in the way you'd get it in a hypothetical private sector company with the same kind of problem. it feels *unusual* if you're in the private sector, but this is how i'd write it

"So don't buy a gun. You're not going to out-shoot BORTAC. You're not going to out-opsec the FBI. You're not fighting a civil war in a nation divided on stark ethnic or religious lines. You're not materially supported by a major outside power." 1/2 www.liberalcurrents.com/from-powerle...

Lord forgive me, I am Too Online.

the american work ethic makes it possible for us to get 20, 30 years of humiliation in only a single calendar year

An extremely famous Irish professional wrestler, arguably at one point the most mainstream full time wrestler in North America in the late 2010s, named Becky Lynch currently has a heel gimmick on television which can just be summed up as a Trump impersonation Here is a compilation of examples.

The Verge folk having exactly one play, pointing to (advertising) a bunch of unrelated articles as a shield against criticism, really doesn't help against the appearance that they did this because they knew it'd generate clicks

kpop/drama is the somme of the entertainment industry. a man blows a whistle, and hordes of young women in garish outfits go over the top. those that break through are destroyed by lack of proper follow on support. those who lack enthusiasm are harshly punished to make an example to others.

Trump will have a plan to reconstruct a lot of his tariffs after this SCOTUS ruling through a combination of other legal authorities (232, 301, 122). But those authorities are more narrow and process-intensive, so he has lost the ability to just rapidly slap tariffs on any country on a day's notice

South Korean culture is fascinating because it's like "We make two things extremely well: Weapons and pop stars. One of these industries is the ruthless, blood-soaked byproduct of a nation whose soul was scarred by eternal war. The other is our defense industrial base, which is respected globally."

Every once in a while I really do have to remind you all that if Clinton had won in 2016, we would almost definitely now have a Supreme Court ruling that says trans people have a constitutional right to bathroom access, and none of this would be happening.

I urge you to listen to this with the sound on because this is literally what his attorney whispered to him

Conservatives spent years complaining about ”safe-spaces” and “liberal snowflakes” only to turn around and show they are absolutely terrified of ideas they don’t like (“racism is bad” “gender is fluid”) and willing to use state power to avoid the slightest discomfort. The snowiest of flakes.

We go a little too far with empathy sometimes. This woman is stupid, being stupid made her a bad mother, and being a bad mother may kill her kid. She should be told this.

We make the job attractive in the wrong ways. You have de facto immunity, but the salary sucks compared to your realistic alternative options. You can go on TV whenever you want but it’s hard to actually get policy passed.

Yes. As a capitalism-sympathetic social democrat, I believe we have a duty to markets to ensure money can act as a disciplinary measure. We have literally reached the fail state of money. Elon can lose 90% of his wealth and functionally lose no practical value. We broke the invisible hand.

i propose to bring to the floor a motion of no confidence in his excellency the president's government!

House Republicans wanted to cut funding for public transit by 98%! I stood in the way and STOPPED them. I was at Community Transit today to talk about new funding I secured for the Swift Gold Line bus rapid transit project. People want MORE public transit—let's keep building it! 🚌🚌🚌

"We need to make government bigger, actually" is something we should be doing constant propaganda for and why I'm a little distrustful of pop leftism.

A tale in two posts.

most Americans have 3 months of emergency savings and are able to finance consumption in the event of a missed paycheck.

this is cool this is cool this is really, really cool

I am ALL FOR criticizing Dems when they fail - which is often - but the flip side of that is you need to acknowledge when they succeed. Despite understandable fears, they have consistently stood in the way of Trump’s attacks on trans people, in substantive ways. They deserve credit for it.

Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

there are some factors, like nuts and blocks logistically things that make video games perpetually locked in "how much it cost when i was a child" truely bad. "why arent mid budget games of my prefered genre made anymore?" cuz the industry is living of death budgets

again, "video games are the luxury consumer item that is not allowed to increase in price" is not the main reason the industry has its problems but its definity a factor.

It's absolutely obscene how many leftists argued that libs would be the fastest to rehabilitate Trump yet we're in the middle of Trump 2.0 and they're making the case for how Trump 1.0 wasn't all that bad

my cat every day at 4 pm

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Surely, the press will scrutinize Trump for breaking a long standing U.S. policy the same way they did AOC saying um a few times!

you have to vote for the democrat in november 2028. any other option - voting republican, not voting, voting third party - is completely and totally morally unacceptable and should result in your expulsion from polite society

I was initially not the biggest fan of Spanberger but it turns out she has the heart of a world class hater and that is 100% the kind of energy we need right now

The thing about all the repulsive shit Newsome spews is that he'll be slowed by the same model of gov thats made Trump a lame duck 1 year into his presidency. He'll do harm, but we can mitigate enough of it to make his other major trait worthwhile: he really, really, REALLY fucking HATES Republicans

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

The Millionaire’s Tax passed the Washington State Senate on a 27-22 vote. Three Democrats joined Republicans in voting against it. app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/...

This story is fucking appalling. The utility of locking up someone 80+ is admittedly a little dubious, but at a bare minimum this woman should never be able to drive ever again. She killed an entire family, transferred assets to avoid civil judgement, and gets…2 years without license

That can’t be right. I was informed Kamala got eleventy seven heckin‘ Pinocchiorunos for saying Trump had anything to do with Project 2025.

"BUT TRAFFIC KEEPS GETTING WORSE!" No it doesn't. Average daily trips on the Aurora Bridge, 2004 vs. 2023, dropped by more than a third. Similar decreases across Seattle.

Progress is inherently liberal.

Oh wow, YOUR enemies actually really are uncivilized savages incapable of self-rule? You actually didn't even want to take over their country and expropriate all their land? It's for their own good? Wow, I didn't know that. You're telling me for the very first time.
