Your Joke is Factually Incorrect: A Guide to Dying Alone

Padilla: "Let's understand why Trump is asking for 5 more seats out of Texas. It's bc his policies, especially his economic policies, has been so bad ... if Rs were confident of their policy agenda, they'd be eager to defend, but they know they're in trouble. They're trying to rig the system."

UPDATE: Governor Abbott just threatened to REMOVE THE TEXAS DEMS FROM THEIR SEATS if they don’t return by 3pm Monday (so Republicans can steal 5 seats in Congress using a special session about the flooding as cover) — and charge them with FELONIES.

We are over the cliff.

In addition, Lynch himself was dealing with a hernia "during the entire shoot"; he had injured himself while laughing too hard at something funny that Angelo Badalamenti did.

Forget eggs—the cost of coffee is skyrocketing, and folks are noticing.

I heard it was coming, so I stocked up weeks ago, but my supply won’t last forever. Trump’s Brazil tariffs are to blame.

Get ready for Fox News, Congressional Republicans, and Trump to morph a child predator into a victim. A pardon or commutation is coming.

The GOP machine is willing to set a dangerous convicted pedophile free in order to solidify their power and tamp down the Trump-Epstein scandal.

He's too ignorant to know the term lese majeste, but that is functionally what he believes in and has instituted. The policy of the US government is that it is a crime to criticize, insult, or otherwise say anything negative about him, including before he was ever president.

"We will impeach and remove the president for his many crimes" seems like a good midterm election pitch to me idk

The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.

I wrote my mom’s obituary last month. It never occurred to me to use AI. What a giant fuck you that would have been to a woman who loved books.

someone at a white house press briefing should ask why the president consistently refers to his black american critics as “low IQ”

Immigration is good actually

one of the main reasons genAI like chatgpt has never held any appeal for me is that i am well aware it is dumber than me and i'm already pretty dumb. i can lie and fuck shit up just fine on my own, i don't need a machine to lie to me about it

You can see Titan’s shadow on the upper left of Saturn. In my next picture taken about 30 min later, you can see the shadows moved towards the center of Saturn, due to the orbit of Titan, wrt the location of the sun. My 3rd pic is purposely over exposed to show the moons Rhea (far left), Titan left high above the rings, and Dione (right immediately above the ring). Titan is the 2nd largest moon in the solar system (Jupiter’s Ganymede is the largest). To put that in perspective, Titan is larger than the planet Mercury. The 15-year-ish cycle is due to Saturn’s tilt on its axis, so like Earth, it has seasons. Its long slow orbit around the sun account for the long cycle. So for a shadow to be seen from Earth, Titan must be in just the right spot. Titan orbits Saturn once every 16 days, so we actually get to see the shadow about a half dozen times on a 16 day cycle during the transit year. Then Saturn’s tilt changes enough and the shadow no longer hits Saturn. Aug 29, Sept 4, and Sept 20 are the last chances to see the transit. You will need a pretty good telescope, however to see the shadow. I tried my 4” 900 mm refractor, but was disappointed.

Titan’s shadow mid transit, Aug 3 4:50 AM, EDT

Saturn’s moons Rhea (far left), Titan (left above the rings), Dione (right just above the rings).

Saturn’s moon Titan casts its shadow on Saturn where we Earthlings can see it once every 15 (or so) years. Even then, you have to be in the right location. North America was the right location for 2025. I took these last night.

More on Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith:

➡️ He said that the descendants of slaves should pay reparations to the descendants of slave owners

➡️ He urged Congress to make J6 a national holiday

➡️ He called for Trump’s birthday to be made a national holiday (“MAGA Day”)

The BLS isn't one person. It's 2,100+ professional public servants dedicated to one thing: getting the facts right.

They are economists, statisticians, and researchers who serve our country regardless of who is in power.

Firing their leader to intimidate them is a deliberate assault on the truth.

It's very important for the future of this country that the slitheriness of this snake be exposed, repeated, and amplified as often as possible.

I think it’s telling that rather than funding a world that allows more people to be able to make art, the goal of the tech overlords is to plagiarize the history of the arts to get rid of human makers and technique while concentrating more wealth into the hands of a few. I don’t know how that’s good

Why did you use a very sensational stock photo of a completely different shark? Great Whites are spotted off the coast of Southern California pretty regularly — so this isn’t exactly big news.

Are you just trying to scare people to drive clicks? Is that what passes for journalism at the LA Times?
