It’s on!

Prices are climbing, and the big question isβ€”how much worse will it get, and when does it stop?

Trump’s tariffs are the highest in nearly 100 years. And the promise of a manufacturing boom is just a hope and a prayer when profitability is tanking.

No one’s going to invest in uncertainty.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

What Happened to the Women of #MeToo? Tina Johnson accused Roy Moore of sexual assault. Then the world moved on, and left her behind.

This is just deeply depressing: women who spoke up during #MeToo often found their lives upended, as powerful men used defamation suits to target them, e.g. Roy Moore is still suing many of his accusers.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is a weird Disney movie but maybe the weirdest thing about it is that it has one of the all time Disney songs and it’s about an old clergyman getting horny as hell over a hot lady and hating himself.

According to the Washington Post, "Big Balls" was beaten up by an unarmed 15-year-old boy and girl, who then ran off when a police cruiser pulled into the block.

The two suspects are now being held at a juvenile detention center.

It seems fairly clear that Donald Trump thinks gravity makes water flow "down" from the Pacific Northwest to California, because there is absolutely no system that connects the water in Oregon and Washington to Southern California.

Trump: "I've been fighting with them for a long time about allowing the water to come down from the pacific northwest. We actually opened up that water pretty strongly, we got a lot of opposition from the governor. We opened it up anyway and the water is coming down...they've gotta allow full water"

In the 1992 novel Snow Crash there are people who walk around constantly streaming everything in their area to social media for clicks & microtransactions. They show up anywhere anything interesting is happening.

The slur for them is β€œgargoyles” and only their cameras keep them from being beaten up

Where Have the Proud Boys Gone? Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown has left the extremist group with little to do.

The Proud Boys were everywhere in Trump's first term. Six months into his second term, they have been surprisingly quiet, @alibreland.bsky.social argues.
