HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
Is Threads app down? Anybody else experiencing this?
Trump is going to try and declare the Iran war over. Iran will say, no, its not over, and continue to close the Strait of Hormuz until they get assurances to their satisfaction. Get ready for a long period of high oil prices.
RIP Froggy the Weather app frog. 😢 Another indication of wealthy Google not caring about their users and cutting minuscule costs on the simplest and most beloved things. Smh.
They were probably going inside due to the censorship too.
Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
With everything going on, there's literally no discussion of the partial government shutdown and TSA agents not getting paid and long lines at airports. At some point soon, people will start paying attention. But will we have a functioning government then?
Tel-aviv has more representation in the United States senate than Washington DC.
California needs to wake up and realize it's sleepwalking into electing a Republican governor with its top 2 open primary system where there are too many Democrat candidates to get any of them in the top 2.
It rained oil on Tehran after the USA attack on that oil depot. 😢 No place on earth should have to receive oil in their rain.
It is truly strange how little information we have about the USA/Israel war with Iran. Compared to any conflict in my lifetime, there are hardly any maps, videos, reports on attacks and casualties, and all the normal war reporting things.
I feel this so much. Election Day in November 2008 felt so hopeful, so euphoric. We were turning a page in history on the Iraq war, on white supremacy, on pessimistic centrism and conservatism, we were rejoining the world, everything was finally going to turn towards that long arc of the universe.
Shapiro is a full throated Zionist. He can fuck all the way off until he repents of supporting Israel's genocide of Palestinians.
Sounds familiar.
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
Like clockwork.
And this is all he had to replace Noem.

Feb job losses of 92k, Dow down to 47k, Google has lost 1/7th of its value in the last month...can we get all the Epstein files released now?
Why, in this era of AI, does Google Maps continue to get worse and worse?
According to President Zelenskyy, countries in the Middle East fired about 800 patriot missiles in just three days — more than Ukraine has had during the entire war.
Seems crystal clear that neither Netanyahu nor Trump want an actual democracy in Iran, they want a regime they can manage/work with like the gulf states.
Israel killed many multiples of 72,000 in Gaza. Try closer to 600,000.
Gen Z and Gen Alpha - I beg of you, please watch the Terminator movies, the Matrix movies, and the Battlestar Galactica franchise (2004 version, including the Caprica prequel). The current moment we're in needs all of you to know about Skynet, Cylons, human batteries, Sarah Connor.
I complain about CBC, because it’s not perfect, and fair criticism is allowed and appropriate. But seriously, thank God for CBC in Canada. It needs to be protected.
A senior CBS News staffer expressed sympathy for employees at CNN who are frustrated and upset over the Paramount news. "I need to keep reminding myself it can - and will - always get worse," the staffer told me, adding that CNN staffers "should" be freaking out since "it's hell over here."
