Breaking911 @Breaking911 : REP. MIKE FLOOD, (R-NEB.): "Do you think that people who are 28-years-old, that can work, & refuse to work, should get free healthcare?" TOWN HALL CROWD: "YESSSSSSSSSS!"

lmaooooo this dumb shit just doesn’t fly anymore

just saw a 1-star google maps review of a community college that said "i only go to this joke of a college because it's cheap and the professors are good." what ... what else do you want out of a college my guy

It always blew my mind, even as a child, that the “pacifist” adults were resorting to violence on us kids. Like they would never go to a bar, let alone get into a bar fight but abuse them kids, sure.

Dress it up however you chose, spanking == abuse

So much damage in fealty to Christianity

Whale dies after collision with small boat off New Jersey shore A minke whale has died off the New Jersey shore after colliding with a small boat. The incident occurred Saturday in Barnegat Bay and the impact nearly tipped the boat and threw a person overboard.

They did that “person collided with car and died” thing, but in the ocean.

No, the whale didn’t collide with a boat. A person driving a boat hit a whale and killed it.

We need to talk more about the triumphs and heroism of student journalists and less about the fuck-ups and obsequiousness of the NYT.

Texas House Democrats offer a brief response to Gov. Greg Abbott's threat of arrest and expulsion: "Come and take it."

Shit, re-apportion if you're Cali, give yourself a hundred seats and have all of them touch the coast except 1 that encompasses the inland part. Say because NASA is located in your state you have the moon and you get two new senators. Let's get fuckin crazy.

Dog if we’re playing the gerrymandering game we need to go big or home. I want every district in New York State running into New York City so that every single one is blue. Not a single Republican from California. Every seat in Illinois runs through Chicago.

If I were a political party out of power, I would get on YouTube every day at the same time to run down the latest political news and alert the public what the party was doing about each issue.

Did you say “admitted to the bar in 2024?”

The DEI of it all. This is insane.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades. For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community. “Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison. “CPB remains committed to fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

Gavin Newsom floats November special election for his anti-Trump redistricting push The governor has vigorously embraced the party’s push to counter a GOP-friendly Texas gerrymander by buoying Democrats in blue states.

It's worth pointing out that the reason the New Deal allowed Democrats to basically run the Federal Government as a one party state for 50 years was because FDR's work programs included white collar labor. There's a reason his second electoral map looked like this:

How a controlling cult and a strangling Catholicism ruined lives in Britain and in Navan Inside the Cult of the Jesus Army, on the BBC, and Pray for Our Sinners, on RTÉ, document the grip of religions

This week, two excellent documentaries. The BBC's tale of a abusive cult which trampled hundreds of lives in a morass of harm and abuse; and Sinead O'Shea's Pray For Our Sinners, which shows us what happens when this is done to an entire population, for decades.
