Inside Charlie Kirk’s megachurch memorial service Plus: how Brendan Carr’s attack on Disney was decades in the making.

According to this the stadium was half empty by the time Trump said that.

Call out the hypocrisy.

Trump is ordering flags at half staff for Kirk's murder.

Yet, two months after the murder of MN Speaker Melissa Hortman he's refused to so much as call the Hortman family or Gov Walz, & instead mocked them.

Vile hypocrisy doesn't facilitate peace, it enables more violence.

Billionaires would rather be super obscenely rich in a fascist hellscape over being obscenely rich in a caring society. They can't help it, they're chronic gluttons.

What if a browser could save the planet? We've offered to take stewardship of Google Chrome — a proposal that could change the rules of the internet and the fate of our planet.

The emerging coup Lawless authoritarian regimes don't give up power willingly.

"Unlike January 2021 — when the Big Lie scheme failed — by 2029 Trump and his cohorts will have new tools to carry out a coup, including a massive federal police force with a proven willingness to engage in systemic illegality at Trump's behest."

Is there a source for this? Wikipedia has his grandad coming over in the late 1800s. It does state that his father was arrested at a klan rally though.

Yep, I always roll my eyes at people who dress like it's summer in doors year around. A thermal undershirt and house shoes go a long way to keeping you warmer during the winter. Also running a humidifier will help keep it feeling warmer.

Answer is obviously to end legacy admissions for colleges. That won't happen though, because it helps those in power within the Trump administration.

Germany had to quickly diversify once it lost natural gas from Russia. I think that would always lead to higher prices in the short term.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Huh. Is MGM+ cornering horror as a niche, like Apple has with sci-fi?

Also, accuracy. When I back-in I know I'm perfectly even. I can judge that the gap between my vehicle and the line is equal in my side mirrors. When I pull in I'm always acceptable compared to everyone else, but it'll bug me enough to get back in and finish the job.

Before backup cameras it was the safest way to avoid bro-who-flies-through-parking-lot.

🚨BREAKING: Young people confront Mitch McConnell for taking $3M from Big Oil while gutting green jobs and Medicaid.

He looks like he doesn't know what planet he's on while he's destroying ours.

Mourning years that could’ve been spent fighting for a better future rather than a rearguard against the past slouching from the grave

Analysis: US strikes mark a stunning demonstration of military might and presidential power

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic

No such luck

Interested to know if @give-directly.bsky.social fixed what was found in their 2023 audit:
"Material weakness in internal controls"

“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." — 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously ratified by the US Senate, signed by President Adams

Comments like Johnson’s are what happens when you ban books instead of reading them.

Fact-check: True

SO I've checked this out, it's legit and it's just about the most awesome thing I've ever heard of in my life

People can hold multiple frustrations in their head at once.
- Democrats campaigned against fascism while funding extreme MAGA nominees in their primaries.
- Democrats don't believe democracy matters in their primaries.
- Democrats believe Trump is easier to beat, the more damage he inflicts now.

11 facilities?

Strange that just happens to exactly match this number:

This would be a clear way to show the Democratic Party base that you really do not care what we think, and that new ideas will not be tolerated.

I'd rather just have something that could create new levels in the original Unreal Tournament. I don't need a game, just fresh maps.

They weren't disinterested, they were pretending. Pretty obvious the guys knew they weren't going to agree so they figured ignorant was as close to innocent as they could get.
