To wit. Stay in your lane. This moron is yelling about her psychics lying to her saying she was gonna pass. Yes her psychics.

"I've been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, 'What's the point of standards?" one CBS News insider claimed. Weiss did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Could a quote possibly be more on the nose for Bari, the Ellisons, the Trump movement, or this whole era in American life than "what's the point of standards"? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If the US Has to Build Data Centers, Here’s Where They Should Go A new analysis tries to calculate the coming environmental footprint of AI in the US and finds that the ideal sites for data centers aren’t where they’re being built.

new from me today: not all data centers are created environmentally equal — and building them in states with cleaner grids and more access to water could go a long way in preventing environmental catastrophe

Double standards and hypocrisy are part of the white collar crime playbook.

@samantar.bsky.social: criminals view laws, ethics, and societal norms as weaknesses that can be exploited.

Funny how no one in India is saying this.

Trump pardoned Andrew Taake, letting the convicted child sex predator who bear-sprayed cops at the Capitol rack up time served and skip prison for sexting an undercover posing as a 15-year-old. #January6

Why are you reporting anything on the sole basis of “Russian commander says?” The Russian military lies *constantly* to pretend they are more successful than they actually are.

Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."

The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”

Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

You can’t make this shit up, folks

Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Like I was saying. Rugpulling the expanded premium tax credits suddenly dumps a few million people out of the market and leads to shit like this as insurance cos react, which quickly becomes self perpetuating.

And that’s how you de facto repeal the aca.

Now *this* is your funniest joke yet!

Zing! Keep ‘em coming!

I suppose that’s the kind of very thoughtful and smart rape joke you think The Onion should be making 🤣

Even more Trumpy, you do a great impression!

Ooh another classic Trump line about E. Jean Carroll, very smart and tasteful!

“I’m way smarter than you”

lol you sound like Trump

I bet you think the South Park guys are worse than Nazis 😂

You would’ve been out there in the mid-1700’s whining about Jonathan Swift thinking cannibalizing babies is funny.

Well you’re definitely as dumb as an inanimate object

Duly noted that your mind is incapable of understanding satire.

Ah yes, getting mad at satirical newspapers will get you everywhere 🤣🤣🤣

Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.

Boy watching Homer beat up the krusty burglar: Stop! He’s already dead!

Ah yes, tasteless jokes by someone’s husband really are worse than [checks notes]… capitulating to authoritarianism?

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

I wrote about the "Appeasement Eight" Senate Democrats getting the party to fold to Trump in the government shutdown, and why it shows that pro-democracy Americans badly need a real opposition party, full of leaders who recognize the United States isn't a normal rule of law democracy anymore.
