Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

"Sadness is like a little bit of an emotional death but not a defeat if you can find a way to laugh about it. Because that laughter keeps you from having fear of it, and fear is the thing that keeps you turning to evil devices to save you from the sadness." -- Stephen Colbert

Q: Mr Cuomo, how will you win this time? A: I’m gonna touch more young people

Reading the Where’s Waldo audiobook and they’re just describing each person individually then try to slip “Waldo” in there real fast but I HEARD IT

huh. that must be why Bret Stephens, a Republican, is using his New York Times column to try to prevent that mayoralty from happening: because it would be so good for Republicans

Will the anti-semitism ever stop?

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

Ladies, you have to use AI, it's the future because it makes tasks so easy but also it's really hard to learn so you definitely can't just start using it once you're required to at work, you have to go through an arduous process first to figure out how to use this tool which simplifies everything.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

We KNOW people hugely overestimate the share of the budget going to things like foreign aid, welfare programs, and public broadcasting. The media could combat this confusion by making a point of putting numbers in context, but the shitheads refuse to do it cepr.net/publications...

How is this not human trafficking

The media outlet that asks you to pay $25/month doesn't know if the president can take away an American's citizenship and has to call another person to figure it out

the epstein footage is missing a minute because jeffrey started singing hey jude in his cell. justice dept doesn’t want to pay for the licensing. somewhat understandable

If you'd had a "SCIENCE IS REAL" sign in your yard 10 years ago, people would've assumed you were a massive stoner

I’ve spoken with hundreds of immigrants of every age at every stage of their experience through Obama, Trump I, and Biden. Adults I’ve spoken with who were released after detention in the last few months share an anxiety I’ve never seen before. Memory lapses. Shaking. Confusion. Pure trepidation.

The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide. It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International. No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.

Folks are angry that undocumented immigrants can access medical care in certain states. Why? They’re working incredibly hard jobs, often for sub minimum wages. They’re putting food on your table, stocking your shelves & keeping the economy going. Why shouldn’t they get care?

I almost can't believe that Elon Musk's AI called for the extermination of the Jewish people yesterday, and today not a single Congressional Democrat announced they were leaving his media network. A party that often claims to act against antisemitism didn't do jack shit about straight up Nazism.

He voted for her!!

A local NYC baseball coach says he fended off ICE agents during a recent practice. Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer! Shoutout all of our local heroes!
