Do Christians still think this indicates Jesus’ return? And that Jesus will be on the side of Christians?

US reverses pledge to link disaster funds to Israel boycott stance

In a rare backtrack, the US government no longer vows to force Americans to drown for opposing ethnic extermination.

Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash Tesla was caught withholding data, lying about it, and misdirecting authorities in the wrongful death case involving Autopilot that it...

The most damning part: The car was programmed to send all the information to Tesla then delete the local copies. Which speaks to a clear conspiracy to hide the fact that "driver assistance" features contributed to an accident #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

A lot of people haven't been willing to contend with the truth because they do not want to have to answer the question: "ok, what now?"

Whoa, Alabama. 💥

Birmingham-area activists put up a Trump–Epstein billboard on a busy highway: “What’s the big secret, fellas?”

Good on them.

Because that system also educated Americans and people with college degrees are less likely to vote for the GOP

I didn’t love having insomnia as a child, but I did love WKRP followed by Night Court while both were in syndication.

I love everything about this

Popular 1980s actor Loni Anderson of the hit TV series 'WKRP in Cincinnati' has died Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station’s empowered receptionist Jennifer on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” has died.

RIP Loni Anderson. WKRP is difficult to see (because of music clearance issues) so I may have to watch Munchie tomorrow

Texas Democrats leave the state to block vote on redrawn House map backed by Trump Texas Democrats are leaving the state in an attempt to prevent the state House from holding a vote Monday on new congressional maps that Republicans hope will net them several additional U.S.

BREAKING: Texas Democrats leave the state to prevent a vote on Republican-led congressional map overhaul pushed by President Trump.

"...if LA is a testing ground for mass deportation, it’s also a place to see how the resistance is evolving. The movement against ICE in Los Angeles — one that is starting to take root, in different forms, in cities like New York — is part of a growing shift from symbolic protest to direct action."

One might harrumph that major newsrooms got the “Trump <3s IVF” claim totally wrong, but consider: applying skepticism would violate the norm of U.S. journalists reporting on politics as if they were born yesterday.

When does the next bus come? GoTriangle reduces wait time on its busiest routes The regional agency joins GoDurham and GoRaleigh in offering bus service at 15-minute intervals between Durham and Chapel Hill.

Raleigh increased bus service from every 30 min to every 15 min on its route serving Glenwood Ave. Ridership then doubled in the year that followed.

Over last year, city’s high-frequency routes have had 89% ridership growth.

People will ride when you give them service that they can rely on!

This is why Israel refuses to allow the international press access to Gaza.
Because images like this make it impossible to deny that this is genocide.

Economist Amartya Sen won a Nobel in part for asking: Why did India avoid the mass famines that killed tens of millions in China? His answer: a free press. Journalists could expose suffering and shame governments into action. Silence and avoidance, by contrast, can be deadly.

That's cute but Obama would never run again. He is done with this bullshit.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

A “self-coup” is when a leader who gained power through legal means overturns the rule of law to seize dictatorial power. It’s what Ferdinand Marcos did in the Philippines. It’s what Bolsonaro tried to do in Brazil. It’s what Trump is doing now in the U.S.

For those who don't know, Blood Tribe is a neo-Nazi group. These groups sometimes pile out of vehicles and do quick marches that they can film and post online. This time, they ran into some folks who weren't down with seeing Nazis on their streets, and they got beat.

There is an insane amount of important human activity that still takes place beyond the reach of corporate or government controlled sensors.

I also strongly suspect efforts to convince people - falsely - that there’s nowhere The Computer can’t see them, so why care about privacy - were intentional.
