Rock legend Gene Simmons hospitalised after passing out behind wheel and crashing car in Malibu.

Gene Simmons’ wife, Shannon Tweed, says doctors recently changed his meds and told him to drink more water. He’s previously spoken about his heart condition, AFib.

Also the reason it only needs 50 is the current VP is the same party and could easily be the tiebreaking vote if such a thing happened.

Otherwise, only 51 Republicans are needed. They have 53.

The only thing keeping the government closed is Republicans. They control the all three branches.

If the WH and its hangers-on are going full Nazi and the rest of the GOP continues to show nothing but full-throated support for the WH then well that’s no different from the rest of the GOP going full Nazi

My 12yo asked me why butter isn’t sold in deodorant-style dispensers and you could apply to your toast more easily and….actually this is a stupendous idea

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

Michigan Avenue right now.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

This image is spreading across platforms with the false claim it shows a US immigration officer detaining a migrant child.

The photo actually comes from a 2024 video of a Texas policeman playfully handcuffing his son during a make-believe game. Read more: u.afp.com/SmeU

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

It's not a shock collar. Every day now there are out if context clips on here going after this guy.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

The good news is global. The bad news is domestic as the US is increasingly failing to keep up with the cheap energy transition. Committing to run an economy based on resource extraction is a proven way to get your ass kicked. We need to do better.

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

This is remarkable. The world added more solar and wind capacity in 2024 than we added demand. 100% of demand growth PLUS 9% to retire dirtier sources. Cheap energy keeps winning. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

This isn't "war." It's a photo shoot.

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e

like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Hi, folks, a little personal news. In mid-November, I'm getting my aortic valve replaced via open-heart surgery. As scary as that sounds, my prognosis is excellent. This is fairly personal health news, and I'm posting publicly for two reasons.

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

Also this. You can generally be forced to put your finger on the screen. Making you divulge the password brings in constitutional issues.

For your laptop, you can use VeraCrypt to encrypt your hard drive and create a decoy operating system which you can boot into based only on which password you use, so CBP won't even be able to tell there's anything else on the computer.

Eric Brakey @Eric8rekey I was detained by Border Patrol and Customs for 90 minutes coming back from a @RoyalCa ribbean cruise today in Florida. After they rifled through all my belongings, read my personal joumal, and confiscated rny phone and computer, I had to explain to them that the aFreeStateNH is a non-violent, peaceful libertarian movernent that builds community, culture and political change. We were invited to New Hampshire in the early 2000s bythe Govemor of the state. We reject violence as a path to creating change. In detail, I had to explain the nature of the Defend the Guard rnovernent and assure them that I was not part of a violent extremist group seeking to raise a militia for insurrection against the government. At one point during my detention, I asked for clarification on what rights I had here as a US. citizen and was told that they did not næd a warrant for anything in my possession, including all my elæ•tronic devices. They eventually let me gu Truth be told, I am shaken up and in shock right now. Rate "oposed CMnmu nity 11:59 AM 5, Views

Reminder: Never travel out of the country with your main cell phone (or without backing it up and then doing a factory reset) or laptop.

CBP agents are effectively Redcoats and they WILL delight in reminding you that they owe you no rights.

remember when reading the news just made you vomit instead of disassociate

I'd like to be alone now please sign out.

As a kid, the lunchroom had a table piled high with wonderbread and a large block of soft butter. It was all you could eat, free. I'd put a bunch of butter on a slice of that bread and then squish it into a flat mush as I walked back to my table, hoping no one noticed. So good.

If you are a Texan being investigated for your connections to "radical leftist" groups, I am interested in representing you against harassment by Ken Paxton's office.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

In the vast majority of states, guns that came from other states and were recovered from crime scenes mostly came from red states. www.pbump.net/o/the-red-st...
