He always looks like he's been caught shoplifting.

This is just wild, gilded regression in real time. It's one thing to turn your NY apartment into a vulgarian's Versailles, but the Mar-A-Lagification of the White House should be a punishable offense.

Our secret weapon handpicked Fox News box-wine flunkie.

It was never about crime. It's about testing the waters for further federal domestic terror and deflection from Epstein.

Wired screenshot: This new version of Instagram reminds me of a meme about the "landlord special." Where, rather than fixing the actual issues in a rental unit, everything just gets slapped with another layer of spackle and white paint over and over again-until it's unrecognizable and the hidden wood is likely rotted. The original Instagram, which had a distinct purpose and identity, has been globbed over with new feature after new feature so many times that even if you stripped everything away, it can never really revert back to what it was.

Meta is giving Instagram the “landlord special” right now:

Conflating Arizona and Idaho is an added bonus.

While apparently what happens in California stays in California.

and unsurprisingly was kind of crappy.

Even for billionaires a very low bar.

TBH what worries me the most is that a year out we've already created a national climate where international travelers know they could be detained, jailed or worse for any number of random reasons lest they run afoul of dear leader's administration. Hardly friendly conditions for a competition.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Yeah that was a pretty transparent move.

All of this. As a small biz owner who was involved in the effort to win over FIFA and planning to lean into the WC, I too am worried. Renting a bunch of buses and hoping for enough rideshare drivers can't make up for the fact we have no existing public infrastructure to help people get around KC.

"culinary sanctuary" is classic. Can't even go out to eat without the perceived protection of an ideological bubble. For people who prize the idea of "toughness," they are truly the most fragile of all.

When you're actively working against your own self-interest and solving nothing.

At this point, what's to stop him from using these flimsy excuses to seize control of any city he doesn't like as yet another federal police state power grab?

Thiel gets rich, we get kidnapped.

Karp gets rich, we get kidnapped.

Palantir gets rich, we get kidnapped.

I mean RFK jr's skin looks like a ruined leather handbag abandoned in the Mojave, maybe that's a sign not to listen to that fuckin' dehydrated alligator

The biggest. And while we're at it, let's talk about "coverage" that for most people now involves a massive deductible that has to be paid before most claims are even considered. The deductible on our family ACA plan is $14k, which is incomprehensible and undefendable.

Good place that, enjoy.

Also that gay men with AIDS “should be tatooed … on the buttocks, to prevent the victimization of other homosexuals.”

Meanwhile, any mention of slavery as connected to the Confederacy or otherwise, Native American genocide, Japanese-American internment, dirty wars worldwide or any other horribly inconvenient aspects of our actual history they actively try to whitewash or erase.

Couple that with their obvious feeling that once in elected office, they should be able to do what they want without consequence. E.g. Trump saying he's "entitled" to gerrymander.

The correct news headline for this is not "Trump to Lay Out His Plan for Reducing Crime in Nation’s Capital" (Bloomberg) or "Trump to speak at White House on violent crime in D.C." (CNBC), but rather "President Lies About Crime in DC."

News outlets are obligated to maintain a grip on reality!!

Favorite Gunner since Henry. Little Spanish magician.

Lived in HK years ago and even then old neon and painted signs were disappearing as the city hurtled into the future. This is too cool, lessons to learn here for cities worldwide in preserving your past so others can know their history.

Keep considering that.

to what extent does the administration intend to use this money to fund things that congress won't, and also, treating states like conquered territories to be dominated is one of those things that really makes you think the goal of these people is to dissolve the union

FULL ON. All the more from the anti-abortion and "family values" crowd who purport to care about kids' lives but don't support childcare, public transport, school lunch programs or anything that makes being a parent easier.

Almost seems quaint at this point.
