Can confirm

The cover of the Singles soundtrack, with 2 people kissing on the right and two people sitting on a bench in the middle, with some blurry folks behind them.

If you owned and listened to this soundtrack, you are likely Gen-X.

An adult driver angry at a child they hit with their car.

Our car culture summed up in one video.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

The political right's greatest project is discrediting experts. Only in a "do your own research" world can their cultural preferences - anti-abortion, anti-gender affirming care - claim equal legitimacy to the left's medically-backed positions on those issues. SCOTUS is a full partner in that effort

Insanely incompetent but insanely disdainful are key qualities for every Trump official

Barbed wire protecting a large patch of nothing, right on the beach in downtown Ventura, California. If we taxed land instead of buildings, people would live and work here.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

Two Long Years Thoughts on a grim anniversary.

Today is a sad, dark anniversary of a murderous attack that triggered two years of brutal war. You won’t see it on outrage-algorithm social media, but we can hold both at once: the particular horrors of Oct. 7 and the protracted horrors of this war. jill.substack.com/p/two-long-y...

A telephone pole in hell’s kitchen. There are two flyers on it. One has a photo of an old woman yelling, with a phone number and the headline is “ are you a grandma take a selfie and text it to me“ The second has a photo from Hamilton and says “Lin-Manuel Miranda look-alike contest October 23, 2025 5 PM Washington Square arch. Winner will receive a crisp $10 bill and a trophy”

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Y'know what's most upsetting about ICE's Brown Shirt tactics?

We're paying for them. Those guys are taking our tax money to grab people from their homes and cars, beat on them, shoot them, and face no punishment.

There's a delicious irony in WNBA sources complaining about Unrivaled's role in CBA negotiations when the league exists in no small part because of the prioritization rules the WNBA insisted on during the current CBA. Be careful what you wish for ...

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

FWIW, the main reason ACA enrollment is so much higher in states won by Trump is because they include all 10 of the states which refused to expand Medicaid.

There’s millions of heavily subsidized ACA enrollees who would otherwise be eligible for Medicaid if those states expanded it.

Hard to think of a father and son who had more divergent careers than Richard and Mojo Nixon

Strib has its issues but it still has Andy Mannix who details Kegseth’s continued ineptitude. One of Miller’s dudes for good measure. They’re vile fascists but also clowns. www.startribune.com/trump-offici...
