Gossiping over lunch

I say “did (name) get divorced? Their social media just cleared their husband, I would have never thought?”

She replies- “no they haven’t finished their immigration paperwork so he has been out of public eye”

A strong couple, doing it legally, in love, in process.

America

Restoring faith in American air travel is such a hilarious concept to me, it’s basically the standard example for an extremely safe form of travel or statistically irrational fear.

I gotta admit though I love the look of the extension cabinet - 10/10 aesthetic if your into throwing money at gimmicks

The Josh Homme Peavey Decade Too is such a bizarre object.

was it really the og decade that did anything? No it was curiosity and devotion to using a sound other players might have balked at before his huge success

It was just an old thing he loved because he spent time with it

Can’t buy that

I picked up guitar about a year and a half ago and just reached the heartbreaking milestone of having enough ear training and perspective through hundreds of hours practice to start imagining the work that went into the music I used to just enjoy.

To be fair they asked and th power hungry fascists said “no”. Follow up questions are partisan weapons of the extreme left, this is polite society you can’t just go around calling people liars.

I honestly believe that if Donald Trump adopted every single political position that I hold and personally gave me 1 million dollars that his base of supporters would still be standing around laughing, sneering and asking if I was mad about it.

Israeli military raids Jenin in West Bank, one Palestinian reported killed Israeli security forces launched an operation in the volatile West Bank city of Jenin, killing at least one Palestinian, officials said on Tuesday.

Donald the Dove waited 24 hours before turning on the Palestinian murder machine again

Two genders, thats too damn many!
I respect one gender and its the spectrum.

Subtle!

Hard to imagine being released from an Israeli prison and returning to Gaza.
Must be a horrifying mix of emotions.

I love the stories that people make up about the merits of Elon Musk.

The man spends the majority of his day on social media and is paying to try and pass as a top tier gamer.

Demonstrably an absentee father, CEO and statesman that people heap praise on in hopes money falls out.

I love how every time a new AI feature is introduced on an app the button seems to be in the same place as a previously useful feature that I now need to locate.

Biden names Navy aircraft carriers after Clinton, Bush President Biden on Monday named Navy aircraft carriers after former Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. “I am proud to announce that the next two Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft ca…

Throwing a bone to notorious war criminal and torturer George Bush. If we pretend the WMDs were real now for Bush people will be gracious to Biden when the IDF leaves Gaza and historians start telling the stories of the mountains of dead children in shallow graves from the genocide Biden supports.

With AI companies struggling to bring an appealing product to market

-beyond slapping AI labels on existing products -

I believe the actual cash grab will be making the internet so impossible to navigate that only an AI assistant can do the tasks that we happily used search engines for 10 yrs ago

It’s so sad that in just one week DONALD TRUMP will walk into the Oval Office and gleefully throw the presidential intentions switch from GOOD

(Where it has been for 4 blessed years)

To EVIL 😭

Vance says Jan. 6 participants who committed violence 'obviously' shouldn't be pardoned Vice President-elect JD Vance says people responsible for the violence during the Capitol riot “obviously” should not be pardoned.

I imagine this will continue to be a wedge issue within the Trump admin with anyone who has more than 10 years left in their natural lifespan.

I think it’s sad we have a bully president but even more sad that despite a lavish life at the top of the social ladder he peaked in high school with the rest of the people who look at everything they don’t like as homeless, gay or nerdy.

You’ve got the world stage get better material.

It’s unbelievable that there is a national conversation about 20 arrests for looting in LA.

The contempt for the poor in this country is so embarrassing.

I truly believe that for many success is not meeting your own goals as much as having more than someone else.

I live in opulent poverty.

Meta to end diversity programs ahead of Trump inauguration Meta Platforms is ending its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, including those for hiring, training and picking suppliers, it said in a memo to employees posted on an internal company forum on Friday.

Half of my Facebook feed is people posting their BlueSky handles today.

It’s gotten so much worse on that platform but I am sad to see the most effective local platform in my experience turn into a pile of garbage. I feel like it’s the place I have the most conversations.

I was lumping in the comments about Canada but great point, both these places have already been colonized.
The front facing part of the Danish and Canadian govt is white though, not that we should center that.

It’s just different than how US citizens would see something like Palestine

Honestly I think he is posturing until he gets into office but doing old school imperialism against white people no less is getting too big for his britches in a way that imo will make governing hard.

This is a step past liberal tears and proxy wars. I’m probably wrong though 😮‍💨

Some animals are more equal than others

Top tier AI summary hall of shame right here.

At least we have something to rally around in this moment of patriotic reflection 🤣

Also graphs was a typo, I meant map. No graphs here data perverts.

A drop in groundwater could mean big trouble for a tiny snail as Nevada lithium project presses on Opponents of a huge lithium mine under construction in Nevada want U.S. officials to investigate whether the project already has caused a drop in groundwater levels that could lead to extinction of a ...

Its wild to me how little regard we have for animals.

I wont soapbox about it but I do really enjoy the images, graphs and circumstances laid out in this article. Its sad that an entire species can hang in the margins of a balance sheet regardless of its size.

Ok, but what if I feel like like the terrorist was an undocumented immigrant?

(not an American veteran from Texas)

The image of Sam Elliot appears in your mind, he tips his hat and says

"Well partner you might have the wits of a president about you"
