They’ll never determine whether childbirth or getting kicked in the nuts is worse until we find a man willing to get kicked in the nuts every 5 minutes for 36 hours.

It’s cool that it was in Dublin but I can’t imagine caring less about a game’s outcome. Poor choice of teams.

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is β€œallowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

US electric grids under pressure from energy-hungry data centers are changing strategy As Big Tech’s data centers continue to grow threatening to overload U.S. electricity grids, policymakers are considering bumping the energy-hungry data centers off grids during power emergencies.

If a Data center is planned for your area insist that they build their own clean energy infrastructure and backup, Never let them make taxpayers and ratepayers pay for their data, consumer, and crypto mining centers.

Can we spare a moment of thought for those of us on the left who are just learning that Charlie Kirk was not Ben Shapiro?

Definitely a first-world problem, but spilling rotisserie chicken juice in your trunk is not great.

Charlie Kirk has been spouting horrifying and violent right wing talking points for years. But doesn’t get shot until he started talking about releasing the Epstein files.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

Sports fans I beg of you, I plead with you, somehow let the rest of us know that

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
