www.npr.org/2025/07/19/n... Ms Harris's hot take is fine, but she doesn't know much about New Mexico. She thinks the dying small town next to the Pueblo is predominantly white. Part of the social critique is that NM is majority Hispanic as likely are most of the characters.

Good news: South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have made MAJOR progress in settlement talks with Paramount/Skydance. Looking like an extension of the existing overall deal with the guys, which will facilitate new streaming license. Final terms still TBD.

Holy crap!

@roblox.com Oh my. You have the most horrible, heinous, and diabolical anti-robot verification I have ever encountered. I am a hair's breadth from banning my daughter from ever having anything to do with Roblox ever again because you will not let us login without multiple rounds of verification.

@play.date Man, Tiny Turnip is making this flight across the country go so fast! Such great use of the crank!

who could have foreseen that cutting disaster preparedness was a bad idea?

Greg predicted a lot of this in his Smartest Man podcast. I believed him then, but I am not sure he believed himself.

Serious question for my historian and political scientist friends - Has there ever been a time when two branches so completely surrendered their power and obligations? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This came from my insurance company. It feels like we are living in the 1920s.

I mean, that's just regulations. We need to gut the for businesses since they have staff to fill out the forms. Since poor people don't have personal assistants to fill things out, then they can get all the paperwork.

Corridor Crew play the YouTube content game, which means clickbaity thumbnails and titles, and I do wonder if some people blow them off because of it This is actually a very well presented and thought out (and even sweet) presentation on spotting AI generated video youtu.be/M4TXO4kQwSQ

Just a reminder to everyone screaming at Democrats right now: 1) The GOP can literally pass most things without a single Democratic vote, and 2) It would only take four Republicans to split from Trump and vote against things to stop all this crap. Maybe start pressuring REPUBLICANS instead?

Could there be a clearer metaphor for our country nowadays?

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

With all these Feds in masks, MAGA has to be concerned. Remember during Covid they all thought it was unhealthy and you rebreathe diseases! Make Agents Healthy Again!

So much fun!

I remember Biden scuttling a bill related to this when he was Speaker of the House. www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/p...

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

America is home to angels and assholes committed to principles of self-government. We fuck up. A lot. But when responsible folks encounters a mess, we clean it up. Let's get to work.

Meta has an AI that removes clothes from folks photos. If they remove the clothes from grannies and makes them "hot", will we generate a generation of kids that get the "climbing the rope in gym class" feeling when they visit grandma?

In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Bukele shook hands in the Oval Office to celebrate a deal to ship gang members to the notorious CECOT prison. But a new ProPublica investigation found there’s more to the story. 🧵👇

I am literally going to throw up now because this is so nauseating.

New in PN: The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state "Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes."
