Why is this not getting more press coverage ?

A shooter went into the CDC and left bullet holes in windows across the CDC campus.

This is a place where people work on critical disease research.

A sign by a canal showing a fish with a line through it. Presumably saying no fishing, but it looks like no fish.

I’m not sure the fish are going to see this.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

It's still strange to me that we somehow handwaved away rom-coms as being part of the silent comedy canon (and thus neatly removed a whole lot of funny ladies from the silent film comedian canon as well).

Constance Talmadge was working the same beat as Harold Lloyd.

How a public library's summer game took over a Michigan city Summer in Ann Arbor, Mich., means thousands of people hunting for hidden codes around the city and reading books to earn points. It's part of a popular game organized by the public library.

Summer for thousands of people in Ann Arbor, Mich., means scavenging for hidden codes around the city and voraciously reading books to collect points. It's part of an enormously popular game that's been a triumph for the public library that runs it. www.npr.org/2025/08/04/n...

So from today onward the responsible thing to do is to assume everything is at least 10% worse than the official statistics, right?

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

It’s a good time to recall that it is fully within the power of Congress to put a stop to this tariff madness at any time that they so choose.

There's a lot of blame to go around, but more than anything, I blame the news media for Trump. Their dereliction of duty over the last decade is staggering and heartbreaking for this former journalist.

This administration is batshit crazy, but the media normalizes every goddamn thing.
