Here’s what happens to the Hudson River tunnel project linking N.J. and N.Y.C. now that Trump ‘terminated’ it President Donald Trump said the future of funding the $16 billion Gateway Tunnel is "up to him" but officials said they can't get the administration to clarify what that means.

As a NJ Transit commuter, I am outraged. As a US citizen, I am outraged. As an outraged, I am tired of being outraged.

Trump Empowers Election Deniers, Still Fixated on 2020 Grievances

I fucking told everyone we wouldn't have fair elections anymore, but I was an alarmist. Oh look, we're not going to have fair elections anymore. Sometimes I hate being proven right.

ICE Spent 700% More on Weapons. What They Bought Will Terrify You. Donald Trump is arming his masked immigration agents with increasingly lethal weapons.

I think ICE purchasing “guided missile warheads and explosive components” should probably be the top story on every outlet right now, but what do I know?

Samsung confirms its $1,800+ fridges will start showing you ads Samsung confirms ads are coming to some Family Hub refrigerators in the US through a new software update. Check out the company's statement!

Have fun trying to sell these hunks of junk Samsung. My fridge never needed a screen anyway. These companies are so unbelievably greedy.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

An important distinction: Kimmel wasn't canned because of what he said, it's because the FCC chair and ABC's distributor created a blockade. Worst of all, ABC caved immediately. They will target specific news anchors they don't like next. Where we go from there is a very dark authoritarian place.

This week felt like a real doozy. Next week's list will already lead off with Kimmel being suspended.

ah, well

Republicans are such delicate little snowflakes.

This has gotten so out of hand I don't even know what to say. Why do transgender people make conservatives so angry? I simply don't understand their fervor.

YouTube video by The White House President Trump Delivers Remarks on Charlie Kirk

I'm not one to traffic in conspiracy theories but I work in photo editing and this video is doctored if not AI generated to some extent. The bad jump at 18 seconds, the Presidential Seal is wrong (there is 1 eagle talon and should be 4), the phone has a bad blur and the handset coil ends mid-air.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Murder is bad, but also, fuck Charlie Kirk. Both can be true. Thoughts and prayers.

Small businesses put robots to work without pushing employees out the door Robots-for-rent is one way some small U.S. factories gain access to automation, reducing turnover and ensuring workers aren’t injured.

The robots will eventually steal most or all of our jobs, at least this avenue promises to steal the jobs everyone hates first. It may even bring back some of the manufacturing industry unlike those nasty tariffs.

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION
Starbucks worker pay: $15,000

Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION
Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000

CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker.
In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more.

The system is rigged.

Rest in peace, Brent. 💔🤘

DC is now federally controlled on a random quiet Monday in August. Cool cool cool, can't wait to see what happens when there's a midterm election in progress.

Crime in D.C. is at historic lows.

Trump isn't calling in the national guard to fight crime; he's doing it as a power play and a test of his authority.

If we have to flood the streets with the military during peacetime, just imagine what he'll do during the elections.

Trump’s calling in the US military over a pair of unarmed tween carjackers and he still can’t distract from the Epstein Files.

So many bands aren't going to bother touring the US anymore as a result. Am sad.

The EPA is preparing to cancel $7 billion in grants intended to fund rooftop solar projects for low- and middle-income households. Officials plan to send notices to all 60 recipients in the Solar for All program, spanning 49 states, informing them that their funding has been revoked.

Amazon’s Alexa Fund Invests in ‘Netflix of AI’ Start-Up Fable, Which Launches Showrunner: A Tool for User-Directed TV Shows Amazon has invested in Fable, a start-up whose 'Netflix of AI' Showunner gen-AI tool lets users create scenes or entire episodes of a TV show.

This is both exciting and terrifying. It's already very complicated to talk to anyone about a TV show because we all watch at different rates/times. Soon we'll be watching through a fire hose of unlimited volume in alternate realities. #AI

RIP Ozzy 🤘 what a fucking send off 😥🦇⚰️💀 #metal

Hey Jake Tapper, fodder for your next book!👇

We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.

Star Trek will be next. Woke Vulcans and stuff…

They vowed to “Make America Healthy Again.”

Instead, they:

Kicked millions of people off health insurance

Closed hundreds of hospitals, nursing homes, and reproductive health clinics

Cut billions of dollars from science research

Fired government scientists and replaced them with antivaxxers
