Tucker Carlson's friendly interview with a Holocaust denier raises new questions about Zohran Mamdani's commitment to fighting antisemitism.

Honestly, I kinda want 2028 to be Trump versus Obama just to see Obama’s political instincts unleashed on a man he truly despises.

As long as there are trans people on Twitter and annoying nephews at the Thanksgiving dinner table, nobody is going to care what any Democratic candidate says.

Douhat is describing an alternate reality, maybe one where Harris loses in *2020* but certainly not ours

Injuries, Deaths in Young Kids Fell After Backup Camera Mandate Researchers studied the rate at a level 1 pediatric trauma center and in surrounding counties

Remember the complaints about adding back up cameras to cars? "Among children aged under five treated at a level 1 pediatric trauma centre in Texas, the trauma rate before the mandate was approximately 7.2 backovers per year, compared with 2.7 backovers per year after the mandate was implemented"

LAPD once again calling unlawful assembly outside of the Douglas bar as fans are watching the dodger game via laptop and radio the bar turned the tv off. About 30 minutes ago, they called it for the first time and said 5 minutes. Now giving 20 minutes to disperse. Top of the 10th.

LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.

I would also add that in nearby Mali a full on military government, allied with Wagner and observing roughly 0 rules of war, has utterly failed to put down an Islamist insurgency. We are not going to find a β€˜shock & awe’ solution to the problem

Heritage for the Blind Ads for Car Donations Raise BBB Concerns

apparently the "Heritage For The Blind" one is such a scam that actual organizations providing services to the blind are begging you not to donate to them & asking radio stations not to run the ads https://nfb.org/sites/default/files/images/nfb/publications/bm/bm14/bm1410/bm141002.htm

like 75% of the ads on ESPN radio during the World Series are for charities that want you to donate your car to them (thankfully none of them being THAT one) and I really am sort of curious now what the scam is

Announcer saying "Kershaw means so much to this organization" Fuck that. Speak for yourself. I've been a fan since the days of Fernando. Not only does Kershaw shit the bed when it matters most in the postseason he's a dick.

You're talking about the evil Empire of the Dodgers and I'm talking about the PEOPLE OF LA finding a reason to celebrate.

I'm a Yankees fan, but I admit this has been one of the greatest series ever right to the very last out. Both teams played with such heart.

Actually had a really good Saturday today. Cleaned my room with my partner, had a lazy dinner, relaxed a little, stayed off the internet pretty much and am ending it watching Psych with them.

Same. It was absolutely beautiful. Iβ€˜d love for it not to feel like the sky is falling and like I could just chat with people from around the world. Even if it’s serious things! It wouldn’t feel so damn urgent.

So they’ve basically just essentially preemptively called an unlawful assembly with no protests, in order to head off celebrations after the game?
