Steven Cheung @StevenCheung47 Jane, respectfully, shut the fuck up for trying to politicize this tragedy. They were protecting DC and trying to make the nation’s capital safer. People like you who engage in ghoulish behavior lose all credibility. Not like you had any to begin with. Quote Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer · 20h This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost. x.com/kaitlancollins…

The spirit of Thanksgiving has infused the White House press office today, bringing us together in a blessed moment of harmony and goodwill.

When they tell you who they are, believe them.

At the end of the first set, President Trump was booed much louder than earlier when he appeared on the jumbotron. The camera lingered for much longer than it usually does on famous faces, too. The reception from the New Yorkers was markedly different when rock icon Bruce Springsteen - a local hero from New Jersey - appeared to euphoric cheers. Trump sat stony-faced as Springsteen, who has been a vocal critic of the president, grinned.

Sad. Don’t know what coverage is like in the US but here’s the BBC.

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

"They took hospitals and health care away from you so they could build concentration camps for immigrants."

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

So if you work at ICE, you don't have to wear a mask if you do wear the shirt you won at the Royal Caribbean Limbo Contest?

If nothing else, this era is obliterating the illusion that the very wealthy are also very smart.

Yoon Suk Yeo has learned his lesson

D-backs No. 7 prospect Yu-Min Lin takes the mound for Chinese Taipei. He was set to start last night, but the team chose to save him for tonight, getting fined $5,000 in the process.

He's not a velo guy, sitting low-90s, but he's got a killer low-80s changeup and a solid curve/slider mix.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.
