Saw some fun wildlife out on the water today to cap off a great vacation. First time seeing dolphins and manatees!

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Help settle a debate with my wife:

If a fork keeps falling off the plate because the handle is heavier than the tines: is it top-heavy or bottom-heavy?

Since the feds won't transfer Luigi Mangione to Pennsylvania, and Mangione is declining to appear remotely, this Nov. 7 hearing is now cancelled.

I guess even @mtgreenee does not feel safe from the MAGAT universe that she helped infest America. She is doing the right thing demanding the release of the EPSTEIN files and now has reason to fear for her life and the possibility that it will be made to look like a suicide.

Back when their corporate code of conduct was "Don't be evil."

... Which they removed in 2018 as they found that being evil makes a lot more money.

Call me crazy but it seems this 22 year old guy maybe isn't doing a great job preventing terrorism.

I mean, they clearly wanted those premiums to go up. Why would you get in the way of what they voted for?

You mean the guy who stated "We are currently clean on OPSEC" in a group chat that in itself wasn't clean on OPSEC doesn't understand OPSEC? Color me shocked.

Unbelievable amount of people there stuck in the mindset of: don't help, just film.

I get that documenting this is important, but we don't need 30 people shoving each other out of the way to film the 1 person that's actually taking action.

Funny how Musk stopped bringing his kid everywhere the second he broke up with MAGA. Took no time at all for him to go back to being an absent father.

One in every 7.5 jokes Jay Leno made โ€”ย about 4,500 of them โ€” was about Bill Clinton, almost double the amount he made about George W. Bush.
