And what *WON'T* it do? Huh?

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

My favorite part is the host gifts. Just say you don't want to come; don't make me throw you and your pasta water candle out the door.

NCGOP spokesman appears to be threatening @propublica.org's @dougbockclark.bsky.social with retaliation by the Trump administration for reporting on a state Supreme Court justice www.propublica.org/article/paul...

Also an old white lady, and I called my great uncle's stepson's wife "Aunt X." Aunt = relative of the correct age

That would totally work on me (praise the thing she wishes were true)

Can we exile the "it's not that difficult [to do yourself]" people to some small island powered by smugness? Unless it's someone being encouraging ("Of course you can make your own X! It's not that difficult!") to someone who has already expressed an interest?

Post on X from EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. The text says: "ProPublica's headline is the definition of fake news. I have NEVER claimed more than one primary residence! In 2007, I acquired a primary residence in NY upon leaving active duty. That was my primary residence for the next 17.5 years. My primary residence then changed to DC this past year when I become EPA Administrator. I completed the process by the book, notifying my mortgage companies, insurance company, and local government that my primary residence was changing. These fake news hacks knew this BEFORE posting their bogus claim, but they just couldn't help themselves." Below the post text is a screenshot of a ProPublica post that reads: "Trump has targeted political foes for claiming more than one primary residence on their loan papers. But ProPublica found that at least three of the president's Cabinet members have done the same thing."

1/ The documents are clear: Lee Zeldin and his wife have two principal-residence mortgages, for properties in Long Island and Washington, D.C.

The little I remember from my econ classes includes the nugget that unpredictability/instability is terrible for the economy. I think about that a lot.

Did he want an award for that, too?

Let's see the stats on how businesses are doing now that people aren't going out. Let's see stats on how things are for the places the National Guard members had to leave. Let's compare costs for this and costs for alternatives.
If you don't care about democracy, how about economics?

Nobody Cares That White Supremacists Are Calling the Shots Now Darren Beattie, a speechwriter for Trump early during his first term, posted the following in October 2024, a month before Trump would win re-election: “Competent white men must be in charge if you wa...

"Equally damning is that the Times, the Post, the Wall Street Journal.. haven’t chosen to make one singular story the dominant framing device of the past 6 months: The Trump administration is teeming with despicable gutter racists and President Trump and his cabinet are having them call the shots.."

Unreal. Awdah Hathaleen, who worked on the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land,” filmed himself being killed by Israeli settler Yinon Levi.

Levi was freed from house arrest because the judge said there was no “causal connection” between him shooting & Awdah’s death.

ALEX DE WAAL: So, let me say that I've been working on this field of famine, food crisis and humanitarian action for more than 40 years, and there is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.

Few if any experts know more about the deliberate use of starvation as a war crime than Alex de Waal. If he says it's happening, it's so.

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants? A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

The FDA appeared to move closer to realizing RFK Jr.’s goal of getting people off antidepressants, quietly convening a so-called expert panel to discuss selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and pregnancy.

The result was a misinformation fest.

Great joke from Nate:
