Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist John Harwood responding “my god he is sick” to a post by Adam Schwarz quoting Pete Hegseth. The quoted post says Hegseth, when asked about Russia helping Iran target Americans, replied that they are not concerned and that the only people who should worry are Iranians who think they are going to live. Below is a video still from a “60 Minutes” interview showing Hegseth speaking.

We got rid of Kristi. Let's get rid of Pete.

telling people i "was droids" in a "couple star wars" but i signed an NDA so i can't say what ones... the perfect lie.... impossible to disprove

Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.

This is one of those silly middle-of-the-night thoughts, but in so many episodes of Star Trek, they share the Federation’s cultural database with aliens. It’s just occurred to me - does that mean they share everything on Netflix everywhere they go?

'Hoppers' Pops With $46 Million At The Box Office As 'The Bride' Is Ready For A Divorce Hoppers gave Pixar and Disney a massive win with $46 million at the U.S. box office, while The Bride inevitably scared up just $7.2 million

Hoppers dominated at the box office with the biggest opening for an original animated movie since Coco in 2017, with $46 million. Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride bombed with just $7.2 million. And did Scream 7 have a 72% drop? You bet it did

Opinion | The first lesson of war is ‘know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump — The Guardian As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdal...

I’m sure it’s no surprise to any of you that the war is immediately an unpopular one. Many wars divide opinion - but few have united so many against it. Donald Trump proves he is a threat to world peace.

I saw a (gold-ish coloured) car on the motorway earlier that had the number plate RB13 ENA, and I've never wanted a car to be purple so badly in all my life.

This starts out as one of those fascinating mini-documentaries on YouTube, but, near the end, draws frightening parallels with current economic situations.

George W Bush must be astonished. He spent all that time lying to the public about WMDs that didn’t exist, and all he had to do was start shooting and they would go along with it.

After both the House and Senate both rejected measures to curb Trump’s war in Iran, the only possible response is:

Dear Congress

What do we even pay you for?

This is clearly a frequent problem, making even the simple matter of staying in a hotel room a dangerous situation for women. And, of course, it is unsettling to think so many men consider rape worth doing, no doubt due to the low conviction rates.

The refund is a particular kick in the teeth, as it sounds insensitive. But, since I tried going to the BBC news app to find the specific story, expecting it to be the top story. What horrifies me is just how many “rape in hotel room” stories come up.

This morning, while watching breakfast to, I saw a story about a woman who was raped in her hotel room after her rapist conned staff into giving him a room key. If this isn’t shocking enough, she was offered a £30 refund by staff at the Travel Lodge hotel.

Other colours too - if you’ve seen his neck and his hand.

This should go great

Diesel at my local station is now over $4.40 a gallon. I was paying $3.75 two days ago. My truck is thirst. I guess I will be going nowhere fast this year.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

How can something be imminent for 47 years. I’m 49. My 50th birthday has been “imminent” for all this time. So has my death(date to be determined).

Star Trek has always been about exploring the human condition while also having some fun, thought provoking, and weird sci-fi concepts.

Getting tired of media illiterate chuds and fake fans trying to convince you it was only about the cool spaceships.

Fetterman may as well join the GOP at this point.

I still think about this "found: two dogs" reddit post often.

They made it home, but the looks on the dogs' faces are just amazing.
