If it's subjective, and anonymous, I think you can count on the US getting the short end of the stick for a looooong time. www.wsj.com/sports/olymp...

Competence is hard. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

funny/silly kid Qs. My 16yo says he found a new very cool software package that lets him do a lot with video and photo editing, but he figures it's too expensive because it costs same as a streaming service. I'm thinking, "Which would I rather have my kid doing?"

So ask DHS where mom is being held? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

I wonder who Ds will call to the stand in a couple years?

This article (sorry, paywall) is interesting in that it talks a lot about the director, but barely mentions the film itself or how it's being received. I wouldn't care except that the implication is that this film is part of his comeback. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Since Putin is the aggressor, and is utterly uninterested in anything less than unconditional surrender, I find this headline disingenuous. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

He wants Trump to remigrate? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

What a joke. "As part of the tax and spending bill, Congress appropriated $2.9 billion ... to supplement the basic allowance for housing entitlement. The Defense Department will disburse $2.6 billion as a one-time basic allowance ..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I think there are many valid positions One can take on public health. But if you want to take the route of conservative, low regulation government, then don’t be shocked when anything goes in terms of pesticides, etc. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/c...

Hard for me to believe that such broad and generic wording can pass muster? "The order grants broad authority to the attorney general to sue states and overturn laws that do not support the “United States’ global A.I. dominance,” "

Just voted in our tax override to allow new HS to be built. ‘No’: “ You do realize that if you vote for it, your taxes will go up.“ ‘Yes’: “Yes, the good school system is in fact why we moved to this town.“

Yeah, this is pretty much as expected. Such a low % have violent criminal history/convictions. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Two thoughts: First, when your brand is built on blatant lies, eventually you get a breakdown because various people can't stomach one lie or another. Second, ht to the R women for standing up. Wonder where the rest of their peers stand. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

Don’t be dopey. Building a stockpile means intent. Europe be warned! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/w...

First, insane. There is no upside for our people or country. Second, these were such middle class citizens that they never imagined it could happen to them. They heard the news. They just thought it was happening on city streets to poor undocumented foreigners. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

OMG www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

NSS headline in NYT: As Mamdani Surges Ahead, Schumer Risks Finding Himself Left Behind

I’m guessing this is not an original opinion, but when we seek accountability for the excessively violent altercations between federales and citizens, I hope these are state charges and not federal charges.

I'm super curious what Jack Smith is able to bring up while defending himself. It feels like this gives him an opportunity to sort of advance the case he was trying to bring against Trump last year, right?

I also hope she doesn’t get swept up by ice and thrown into a cell for 30 days without any notice to family. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/u...

Such a misleading headline. The point is that if you drive long distances then (of course) you minimize the $ and environmental gains of a battery. If you do a lot of short trips, you maximize those gains. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So weird that privatization would lead to worse patient care. It's almost as though prioritizing profits over care? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I deeply love this and think it’s spot on for how to deal with authoritarian rule. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Just did a quick scan of FoxNews front page and there is a shocking pic of the Iowa superintendent who was "caught with a weapon!" Um, isn't our gov encouraging school staff to come to school armed to thwart attacks by radical [right wing] shooters?

Has anyone seen my wife? She was here just yesterday ...

Trump Bingo card? Help me out here. This is what I'm thinking: Felons, immigrants, rapists, murderers, hate, opponent, love, drugs, dangerous, "I hate them", "I love America", criminals.

Once upon a time anti-fascists threw down Nazi Germany in WWII. I guess being anti-fascist is pretty cool :)

Maybe I missed it, but we're just doing the standard "Thoughts & Prayers" after CK's shooting death, right?

His comments were clearly about maga and not about Kirk

So an extremist right winger killed CK because he was too moderate in his racist ideology?

Just got covid vaccination. Yay Massachusetts!

Boston Strong! Also, F*** You! “ICE Is Said to Have Begun Operation in the Boston Area”

I have a feeling I know where the next outbreaks of childhood diseases will be! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for joking even about the most serious and catastrophic events. But as a gov official, your words are commands. So ... joke? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The word of the day is Accountability

Cuomo trying to throw shade at Mamdani is just pathetic. It is Cuomo hoisting the white flag and saying, "I have nothing to offer, but you should be scared of this guy because he's different."

If Noem is upset that a frustrated civilian, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, threw a sandwich at the chest of a well armed and padded officer, just wait until she sees footage of the January 6 insurrection.

I don’t think the man who threw a sandwich at federal officers thought it was funny. He seemed quite agitated. I suspect all right thinking Americans are agitated that Noem did not say she was going to take a bite out of crime.

I hate sensationalist headlines like this. On avg, these workers will get something like 6k each. Yeah, if I had done a ton of *underpaid* dangerous work during COVID I'd be happy to get a $6k check 5 years later, too. It ain't $1M. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/n...

Land swapping? I wonder if this means, say, Alaska for Crimea? Trump could build a resort there! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

So, wait for it, Trump thinks he's going to Russia when really he's going to Alaska? In any normal administration where POTUS didn't make these mistakes every day along with 100 other horrible things, this would be big mockery.

What happened to making gov smaller?

Does anyone know where you can get taco cheater orange face paint? Early planning for Halloween.

Way to go Trump. You’ve made our country too scary for visiting Girl Scouts. Slow clap.

Fire the messenger!

Between Trumpflation and Trump tariffs, I'm finding my cape cod vacation a lot more expensive than last year.
