there's literally zero news value in granting anonymity for a football player to say that Puerto Ricans aren't American.

My favorite Catherine O'Hara nugget is that both she and John Heard appear in the Martin Scorcese movie, After Hours. I like to pretend that that's where Mr. and Mrs. McAllister met.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.

How far we have not come in 250 years.

Washington Post demands government return materials seized from reporter The Post demanded in a court filing Wednesday that federal law enforcement officials return electronic devices the government seized from a staff reporter’s home.

The right move. And an excellent, forceful statement: "We have asked the court to order the immediate return of all seized materials and prevent their use. Anything less would license future newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant.”

Musk’s Grok AI Generated Thousands of Undressed Images Per Hour on X Elon Musk’s X has become a top site for images of people that have been non-consensually undressed by AI, according to a third-party analysis, with thousands of instances each hour over a day earlier ...

the weirdest part is the extremely loud insistence that grok, etc are bringing alien super intelligence or whatever when they're actually doing basically lowest common denominator content farming www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

"You're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation"

"Do you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a deranged [person]?"

"These people are going to try to arrest our law enforcement for doing their jobs."

US Spy Chief Gabbard Excluded From Maduro Plan Over Past Views The White House excluded Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard from months of planning to oust Nicolas Maduro because her previous opposition to military action in Venezuela cast doubt on he...

"The move to cut Gabbard out of the meetings was so well-known that some White House aides joked that the acronym of her title, DNI, stood for 'Do Not Invite,' according to three of the people."

More Than 1,000 Companies Are Suing Trump Over His Tariffs Companies are flocking to challenge the administration's import taxes in court, after the Supreme Court started asking tough questions

NEW: The business world largely stayed out of the Trump tariff fight -- incl. some fearing "blowback" for opposing the administration. But with a SCOTUS decision looming, the floodgates have opened, with 1,000+ companies so far suing to make sure they get refunds if Trump loses tinyurl.com/2yms7p24

it is fairly amazing how clear it was, at the time, what was happening. so much chaff has been thrown into the air since then, of course, that most coverage takes a "whomst amongst us can say what happened that day?" approach

Such an important point. Politicians tend to get seduced by the deus ex machina -- vaporware nonsense like "hyperloops" and flying cars -- while neglecting the systems that actually exist in the real world, can be improved, and which are already their actual responsibility to maintain and improve.

With Mamdani, the Humble Bus Gets Its Due Enthusiasm for NYC’s mayor-elect may reflect a little-understood reality about the essential role of buses. Still, making them faster won’t be easy.

I wrote about how surprised I still am a candidate for NYC mayor won in large part by talking incessantly about buses, and also about how making them fast as promised will be an immense challenge. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
