Children are being exploited. Let’s respond by dramatically hindering our ability to point out or criticize children being exploited, using methods we don’t understand because we’re old and incurious.

Someone gave grandpa extra adderall tonight.

He needs a pop filter on that mic.

!!!!

Let's not forget how many also had their offers withdrawn.

Walz: "'I don't know, do you really think limiting them to less than 100 bullets is going to do anything?' Yes! Yes it is. Yes it is going to save lives ... it's time to start reporting that that is all bullshit. It does do something. It does make a difference."

📌"Trump has an alcoholic’s personality” = "Trump is a big, abusive asshole."

New Dept of Defense (War) Cloud RFP wants Senior Cloud Architect to have pro level certs in AWS, Azure, and GCP + TS/SCI clearance Approved hourly rate - $145.

"To ask the internet for knowledge and receive a series of articles that mostly remind you what your question was, then repeat the same three facts you already knew, padded out with more ad space than information."

Spot on. No notes.

Sorry — what @socialistlib87234 said about Charlie Kirk on X is not the same thing as the President of the United States blaming the Reiner’s murder in TDS.

People on the right are going to find a vile statement about Charlie Kirk’s death made by some rando on the left to create a false equivalency with the President’s statement about Rob Reiner.

A hero with balls the size of watermelons.

A pardon from me has equal weight for a state crime.

Sad news about Raul Malo. One of the best singers on the planet…a terrible loss. youtu.be/nP0yUXoCyi4?...

Ijs if Chris Paul can get fired at 2AM via text why cant Kevin Patullo?

“When they come to power for the second time, they feel more ruthless, and they behave as if there are no boundaries any more. I think especially in the leader’s head, that association of ‘me and the country’ [being] the same thing becomes very prominent.”

Sinners was neither a comedy nor a musical 🙄

I for one think Alina is a wonderful attorney who worked very hard to get E. Jean Carroll all that money. Would recommend.

"If you believe a 19-year-old Jewish college student chanting “Free Palestine” is more dangerous than the vice president of the US implying that Germans should embrace the far-right party Alternative for Germany then you’re drawing the wrong lessons from history." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

I’d love an updated “X-Wing vs Tie Fighter”, but I’m old.

Someone should tell racist Ms. Cammarck that in 1890, 14.8% of the American population was foreign-born. The country seemed to survive that just fine. In fact, those people were the bedrock upon which the rest of the American growth and good fortune were based. She's ignorant, even for a racist.

The most dangerous

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

This might be the worst part of this disgusting piece from Lowry. He really is a piece of shit. It is not incumbent upon Omar to disprove the allegations. The onus is on those making the allegations to prove them. The allegations *are* racist in the same way Obama birtherism was racist.

/2 Being sneered at by Rich Lowry may be one of the most flattering things that has ever happened to me.

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.

It's also an obligation from the standpoint of the other states. If DC is ours, it is ALL of ours, and NJ can't have TX running around controlling it at its expense...

From all external evidence, this was a stunt performed by TurningPoint USA, which a very gullible American press took as something real. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

Setting aside the jokes, the lack of professionalism and precision in the Trump Administration is notable. This is the kind of stupid, careless error that would get a staffer fired under previous admins.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Added to the list of things I don’t care about: ✔️ The OU paper controversy

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

Talentless frauds close to the White House are making billions by crashing the American economy and selling out America’s allies. Here’s why democratic socialism is unthinkable.

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!” also trump:

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

“Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

Kicking corrupt officials out is good, actually. Sure, not as good as not hiring corrupt officials to begin with. And not as good as not allowing them to become corrupt while in office. Still, kicking them out is orders of magnitude better than what most of us live with

AI should be treated like the Manhattan Project and be a federal program. It’s too critical to our national security to be left in the hands of Musk, Sacks, and the other ogliarchs.

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory. With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.
