A 'beautiful baby girl' doesn't need so many dolls, Trump says. Also: five pencils are enough 'I don't think that a beautiful baby girl needs – that's 11 years old – needs to have 30 dolls,' Trump said, defending his tariffs. Also: five pencils are fine.

Donald Trump — a silver spoon billionaire who's never wanted for anything in his life — says parents should cut back on buying dolls and pencils for their kids to compensate for higher prices from his tariff mess.

This is the Great Betrayal in action.

Is there a point where the Courts ask the Legislature to curb the unconstitutional actions being committed by the Executive?

They better be careful what they ask for

People who post things with comments turned off are just engaging in marketing.

Due to the amount of unnecessary extra and repetitive content that so many posts and articles are packed with, to try to achieve SEO rankings, AI Overviews and CoPilot Page Summaries have become a favorite feature for me.

How about we start with the Patriot Act and follow the money?

Sometimes #AI can be a useful tool to help express your feelings.

Double-bonus: most people are actual people.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

1. Politics are weird and tense. It feels like people are either yelling about freedom or control, depending on which side they’re on. The 2024 election just happened and folks are still arguing about who really won what. There’s a lot of talk about “Project 2025,” which is this ultra-conservative plan to overhaul the government if the right wing gets full power. It’s got a lot of people on edge. 2. Climate change is no joke. We’re seeing wild weather, from floods to fires to record heat. It’s not sci-fi—it’s here. Governments talk about change but move slow. Meanwhile, young people like us are kinda stuck inheriting the mess. 3. The economy is… complicated. Everything is expensive—rent, food, school. Student loans are still a thing. Wages haven’t kept up for most of us, but rich people keep getting richer. The vibe? Hustle or get left behind. 4. Tech is exploding. AI is everywhere now—writing stuff, making art, taking jobs, even doing customer service. Some people love it. Others are like “yo, where does this end?” Also, crypto and the metaverse are still around, but not as hyped. It’s more underground now. 5. War and global tension are real. Russia’s still in Ukraine. Israel and Gaza have the world watching. China’s flexing power in Asia. The U.S. is involved or funding stuff in the background. It’s messy and it’s scary. 6. Social stuff is shifting. There’s a battle over identity, freedom, and rights. Some states are passing laws that feel like throwbacks to darker times. There’s also a lot of talk about mental health, masculinity, and what it means to be a man today—like, how to be strong without being toxic. 7. And yeah, the vibes? Honestly? Kinda anxious. But also creative. A lot of people are waking up, questioning stuff, building new things, trying to survive, maybe even thrive, in a world that feels… unstable. So yeah. That’s the world right now: chaotic, kinda broken, but maybe still worth fighting for. You just gotta pick your battles and stay awake

Alright, man—if you’re 17 and just trying to wrap your head around what the hell is going on in the world right now, here’s the quick but real rundown:

Rothko room at the Tate modern, London. Several dark red / purple canvasses with a rectangle or two painted on them.

I went to the Tate Modern yesterday. In the Rothko room with all the Serious Art Connoisseurs there was a ~5 year old kid who walked up to each painting, pointed at it and shouted 'RECTANGLE' at each one in turn, then left the room.

This woman is #trash.

This approach is going to be a mess.
I think the domain verification system is genius.
I was hoping they would come up with a way to build on that and make it easier.

Why not provide domain name registration and set the DNS records up for verification as part of the process?

Unfortunately, this is really nothing new.

After a meritorious 26+ year career helping homeless and mentally ill veterans recover and rejoin society, my husband is resigning from the job he loves because it’s breaking his spirit.
Not because of the work but because of the government.

Assuming we survive and can have another legitimate election.

I certainly hope to never see a piece of shit #Republican in the White House again in my lifetime.
