Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

One of the President's top advisers: reminding the military and the intelligence community to follow the law and the Constitution is "calling for insurrection"

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’ Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

This guy’s a Christian pastor, in case you think Diocletian didn’t have a point.

Will Smith has a reading foundation and visits public schools. Just so you know the guy who hit that game winning homer has done good things for the LAUSD

Both teams deserved the win but also people who shit on LA do not understand how fucking bad this city has been since the pandemic, three massive fires, pandemic, Hollywood and now fascist occupation. Hate the dodgers ownership and some players sure, don’t hate the city tho.

He starred on the Astros World Series team that beat the Dodgers by electronically stealing the signs sent to call the next pitch and signaling them by banging trash can lids (and likely more ways).

Everything the “don’t tread on me” folks claimed to care about is being done by the people they now blindly support

We did have the mandatory fireworks for about 5 minutes after that Dodger win

Improved toxicity detection Our latest model aims to do a better job of detecting replies that are toxic, spammy, off-topic, or posted in bad faith. Posts that cross the line are down-ranked in reply threads, search results, and notifications, reducing their visibility while keeping conversations open for good-faith discussion.
