Could a journalism student explain to me why it would be irresponsible to publish, "The President is either wrong or lying." If the president says the Earth is flat, why is it necessary to say "several people in the Administration support the WH position," or "many experts disagree?"

We all complain about headlines, but placement and headlines here are pretty good

Can't wait for the new late night comedy stylings of Ross Douthat, Matt Schlapp, and an AI recreation of Pat Robertson.

Becoming a fire pit evangelist

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Spent the night sitting in front of a fire pit, instead of reading people's aghastness at ever new lows from those who regularly blow past our ever-lowering notions of rock bottom

Y'all should just stop now. You're letting them make you play their game.

NEW: DOGE staffers descended on the Social Security Administration like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time," the former head of SSA tells @ProPublica.org

At some point in all ventures, the efficiency voices destroy the quality voices, and the product suffers. Government has a singular role in society as a quality delivery system,not an efficient delivery system. The only people who prefer efficient over quality are those who don't want to pay for it

Face-eating leopards, man... I just don't know what to expect anymore

This might slow them down a bit.

If all of the ICE agents were collectively tried for human rights violations, and put in jail, would that also solve the u.s. proud boi and 3%rs and oath keefer problems at the same time? Just wondering...

My whole childhood prepared me for this very moment

Enjoy this gift article! 🎁 How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart (recklessly approved by Trump during the first term, and then they hid it from Congress)

Any sickos out there that remember this movie?

I would like to make a little shout out to GenX for having seen the Bad News Bears, Beverly Hills Cop, and Raising Arizona in the theater, and it not affecting my concept of adult behavior in any appreciable way.

If every expert you meet you think is an asshole, you're probably the asshole

I received an Honorable Mention ribbon at the Ag Fair for my portrait of a sheep, AND I found out my painting of two Swinhoe White-eyes was popular at the fundraiser, AND that the winning buyer was a local artist makes me want to just toot my own horn a little bit louder than usual. Yay me!

If they actually found anything disqualifying really

I kinda wish it was a hotdog, so we could have that debate finally settled in court

We're way past the warning signs www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/u...

"They falsely stated that I, a U.S. citizen, have no Constitutional rights at a point of entry, and officers became increasingly agitated as I continued to assert my rights regardless."

The strangest phenomena of the media relitigating Trump's relationship with Epstein this week is how many of the most damning stories are links to pieces from 2016 that were competing with Hillary's emails for eyeballs.

Good! Run for office in Florida!

Made paella tonight for eight. No leftovers. My favorite dish to make for a dinner party!

Wouldn't most people, who strived hard for a position of authority and cared about legacy, only to let their legacy get fucked, decide "Okay, fuck it all the way then! Who cares?" Stop talking about John Roberts like he was ever different than this

Waiting until 9pm to call someone long-distance

"Show us your papers!" What's there left to distinguish ICE from the Gestapo?

No matter how much white-wash the GOP puts on Jan. 6, the stains keep showing thru. 🎁

Once in a blue moon, it would be nice to see some news that bullshitters got called out by reporters for their bullshit, and that it made some kind of impact on the way the world turns

The unbrigdeable chasm between "i perceive a threat to me," and "actual threat to people I don't know"

Why are Fridays like this?

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

Brad Lander told NY1 at Mamdani’s party that what Democrats need to decide right now is whether to be “fighters or folders” and yes he should immediately mount a primary challenge to Chuck Schumer

I didn't know that Zohran Mamdani is Mira Nair's son

Did Cuomo really just concede? Is this a head fake?
