Did Steve wash that hand first?

Montage of clips of Trump “guaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that “it wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that “everyone will be happy” with the end result.

WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached?


MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.

Ha!

A refund?

Nice!

Johnson sure missed the mark on this one.

Great...more old white guys. We're saved.

Signed, an aging white guy.

Juuuuuuuuust a bit outside

The fact that Google is seeing a spike in searches for 'oligarchy' following Biden's last speech speaks volumes about where we're headed.

Time to put the Bear on all our bags if we can get overseas.

Party of law and order.

Party of personal responsibility.

Bring back replaceable batteries.

Another last minute "Trump saved..." moment?

Gladwell has a steady pace and inflection that works well at 1.5 but he had interviews with people who spoke quickly and it was a bit like the Chipmunks but it made me smile.

They screamed the border was wide open for years.
Now they simply showed what's actually happening and credit Trump.

How do his followers not see this obvious charade?

Revenge of the Tipping Point is the first audio book I ever did on 1.5x

I love Gladwell's tone and tempo but I've been painting the house and wanted something to spark my interest.

A fantastic revisiting of the Tipping Point 25 years later.
Give it a chance.

Let's ask Mullin:
Is it OK for our Paramedics to drink on the job then come to your house if you need us?

Didn't think so.

Hegseth’s nomination, I just realized, is another chance to recommend the two books that all Americans should read to understand what the military does, and the cost to the people who do it:

“The Good Soldiers” and its
sequel of a sort, “Thank You For Your Service,” by David Finkel.

Just remember that they're banning TikTok not because China has your data, but because it won't censor and throttle anti MAGA content.

How do we know it isn't about China having your data? Meta already sold it. It's in the terms of service.

This was a push for MAGA aligned investors to get a deal.

He Vox, next time try using a real photo of a fire hydrant.

Your AI version has a female coupling. That's not how they work.

Try harder.

3am 911 call for difficulty breathing.

We arrive to a patient we transported yesterday with flu like symptoms.
"Didn't they give you medicine?"

"I hate antibiotics, can you take me to a different hospital?"

"I love America. You love it too" really hit me.

This is a fascinating turn of events

I read this article and I am indeed dumber as a result.
Why would I want a company more masculine?

Women make up less than 5% of most departments.
For generations they were not allowed to even apply.
NY didn't allow women to apply until the 1980s.

FYI that's the Chief with 2 Captains. Middle managers. Line Supervisors.

Jesse probably waves at us and wonders why we don't wave back.

If they challenge the ballots they have to throw out the Presidential votes too...right?

Screenshot of a tweet by Charlie Kirk with the text: 'Hey liberals, do you notice that when conservatives lose races we don't riot, scream, smash windows, burn cars, assault people, or need days off of work? It's amazing how mature and civil conservatives are. Please remember this and take notes when we get Trump re-elected in 2020'.

The internet is forever, Charlie.
