ahh another beautiful day in the glorious age of technology, sure hope my doorbell doesn’t stop working because an online bookstore took over and then broke the entire internet

One thing about watching the playoff is seeing half of Hollywood shilling for AI and the other half shilling for sports betting. Dispiriting.

What’s crazy is that I can think of at least 5 more off the top of my head: IRS investigations, troop deployments, the Eric Trump hot mike moment, pardoning Santos, and the jet fighter video. We are at a run rate of 20 impeachable scandals PER MONTH right now.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I don't think we should let it go that the president posted a video of himself shitting diarrhea on us. It should be on his wikipedia page

Well well well

Quantum Mechanics and Condensed Matter Physics, what a mess. Possible applications in solid-state drives (SSD).

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

this shit is blatantly unconstitutional and really, really, REALLY bad www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I’d already support a new fit-for-purpose executive office and converting the President’s House solely to a museum even before the counterintel nightmare of this fucker’s remodeling efforts.

This story got worse and worse and then I get to “Uvalde Police” and I’m just

"Kylo Ren somehow didn't die" would've been ass btw

In 1975, after decades of illegally surveilling & sabotaging left-wing movements in the US (and assassinating people abroad) the Senate painstaking wrote out the government's playbook for destroying movements. In January, the first commercial and streamlined version of this report hits bookstores.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

To say that "Democrats did it" when 55 Democrats wanted something far better and 5 blocked it is fundamentally misleading as well as terrible politics. "A small minority of Democrats blocked the majority from passing a better bill" is accurate.

You've gotten the facts wrong and the entire framework is wrong because you seem to think the opposition party does not count as a political force or a blamable agent. This is a bizarre position to take when the election of Scott Brown literally halted the ongoing finalization of the ACA.

Got functionally the same letter here in NY, same premium. From 210 to 2300 for the exact same plan on the exact same income. This is wild.

Having been on both sides (provider & pt) I favor universal basic healthcare,completely transparent fees/costs,govt pays for everything,all providers paid the same for given procedure/visit/code/drug, CMS/HHS negotiates all drug prices.Simple is better(witness the nightmare of Medicare "choice")

This is apples to apples, y'all. Same plan, same income.

I am one of those people btw 🙃

Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/s... An unknown sea otter was spotted stealing surfboards at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz this week. Is 841 back to her old ways or have other otters learned to hang 10? Check out my latest for @nytimes.com

Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing façade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom. n.pr/48AUON2

NEW: Four years after GOP lawmakers in Georgia enacted one of the most aggressive anti-voting laws in the country, new evidence filed in federal court shows that Senate Bill 202 has drastically deepened racial inequalities in voting access in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

these are a different set of republican racist texts than the previous set of republican racist and nazi texts

Yeah, I was wondering how an injection of capital is supposed to help a country's economy when it's run by a government that opposes spending money to help its people on principle.

ARGENTINE PESO COLLAPSES TO RECORD LOW — DOWN 99.8% SINCE 2009

"separation of powers isn't real", I assure myself as I close my eyes and ram the white house with my shitty excavator

Behold: Republican permitting reform.

LOL that's not removing a "facade", that's a demo of the whole building.

I have friends who wouldn’t be alive if not for the aca, like 95% of trans care being covered is a result of section 1557. Many of us would be dead if not for it

sort of curious to know what video games the disgraced royal is playing. is he a big paradox guy or is he just putting 100s of hours into romance visual novels

China imports no US soybeans in September for first time in seven years reut.rs/3L3iS1c

One other thought on this: the Bukele visit (and these events) were months ago and have faded from headlines but this was step 1 of a lawless campaign that connects to the boat strikes. Rubio apparently the driving force behind taking the GWOT playbook to Latin America.

Frankly if a multibillion dollar news company can't think of a next day story about a 7-million-person protest that ended with the president of the United States posting a video of himself shitting on America, everyone there should find a new line of work.

watching a very cool historic preservation presentation on fort wayne and it's just too bad that a big city like that can create a pedestrian-only street downtown. maybe someday a backwater like Indianapolis can make something like that happen 🙏

excellent summary of the current vibe

You plebs just don't know who's who in the art world. That's the Louvres' Director of Brocade Studies. Behind him is the head curator of the lace department. At rear and slightly hidden is their in-house assassin. Her talk at the last ICON meeting was a huge hit.

I'm no expert in hat phrenology, but I'm pretty sure the jaunty angle at which he is wearing the hat is clear evidence of criminality

he's figured it out but just thought "I can't deal with this Lupin III shit today."

Good lord police you're looking for someone who robbed an art museum the guy is RIGHT THERE

By the time I got to the J-school that Kendra graduated from, NYT had gained such a reputation that I was warned by faculty "everyone who was white had the best time of their lives working there while those who weren't were miserable." It was advice that probably saved me from ruining my career.

So you’re saying the Menswear Guy doesn’t miss and he’s a great reader of character?

the legislative history is utterly forgotten. We got the aca because of a republican senator switching parties and an unexpected death that gave dems an extremely narrow super majority for liek 60 days in session. It passed on New Year’s Eve quite literally the very last moment it could have passed

Annual reminder that dorkiest, most marvelous way to celebrate Halloween in the greater ATL area is the Spirit of Oakland nocturnal tours, featuring a selection of their “residents.”

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse. We have obtained these photos:

The mask only covers his mouth and not his nose because it connects to the payload tanks, like a gargantuan fecal Camelback

My favorite Guillermo del Toro fact: he saw a UFO once, and was disappointed by its production values
