'A ghost town': Palestinians erect makeshift shelters amid the rubble of Gaza City.

Since the signing of a ceasefire deal on October 13, many displaced Gazans have trekked back to their hometowns, hoping to find something still intact. Like many, Ahmad Al-Abbasi was disappointed by what he found

Wait a second. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called you to give you your job at a private news outlet back?

OANN, anyone care to explain the government's role in your hiring decisions or do we need to FOIA to find out?

No surprise that someone who signed up for Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team doesn't know the occupation is illegal.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

this insistence that the lil Hitler Youth Group Chat is how "we" "all" talk reminds me of a tweet I saw once where a dude was like "you know how bellybuttons all smell like ten thousand raw buttholes?"

No, this is how Nazis talk in their own spaces. I don’t know abut this dude, but I never talked about gassing people and raping women when I was hanging out with my pals.

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors “With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

🇻🇪 At the United Nations today, Venezuela ambassador Samuel Moncada denounced the “killer roaming around the Caribbean,” committing “massacres” through a series of aerial strikes on boats near Venezuelan and Trinidadian waters. Moncada held up the front page of the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian newspaper during his UN address, which reported that two Trinidadian citizens were among six people killed in the most recent U.S. military strike on a small vessel off Venezuela’s coast. He stated that Washington was carrying out summary executions in international waters under the pretext of anti-drug operations, comparing the attacks to state-sanctioned assassinations. Venezuela demanded an international investigation into the massacres.

Andrew Cuomo: taxpayers should pay for $60 million in legal bills for my sexual harassment allegations

Somehow had forgotten about this. God, what an awful human.

Scientists at UT eyeing the vague promise of "increased funding preferences" as if Trump will escort you tp the front of the NIH line.

No. What they mean is, they're gonna hire the unqualified nephew of a Senator for something, and now they've made a mechanism to give him the federal money instead.

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Photo of records kept in Mar-a-Lago bathroom

The alleged security breaches by John Bolton remind me of security breaches by another ex-government official who kept classified records in his bathroom and evaded justice with the help of a corrupt MAGA judge in Florida.

This is how Andrew Cuomo thinks we should respond to authoritarianism.

As you may have noticed, white supremacists want to stop the influx of hardworking young people (aka immigration) while somehow forcing white women to have lots more babies to compensate, but they refuse to make having kids more affordable and less arduous an experience.

I am disabled. I have MEDICARE. I live on a very very limited budget in Boston, which has the healthcare I need but also is expensive as fuck.

Last night I went on to do the yearly « reconfirm your healthcare part d provider for the year »

This was the cheapest and nothing has changed on my end.

When you see how the blithe, entirely unsubstantiated load-bearing assumptions in Kavanaugh's concurrence have held up, you can understand why the Roberts Court's Republicans generally prefer to provide no reasoning at all www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Jeanine Pirro Strikes Out Yet Again In Federal Court Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro failed to secure a felony indictment against the woman three times, then lost a jury trial on a misdemeanor charge. Ouch.

Jeanine Pirro’s office tried three times to indict a woman on bogus felony charges of assaulting an ICE agent. A DC grand jury turned her down each time. So Pirro brought a misdemeanor charge instead. And now a trial jury has acquitted her of that. www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...

Dear Normies: Time to Stand Up - Truthdig For people who’ve never been to a protest in their lives, Saturday’s ‘No Kings’ rally is a good place to start.

Like a lot of us here, the Lock 'Em Up-est comments I see on social media are coming from, well, extremely normal people. So I wanted to explain how extremely helpful it would be this weekend if they scared the shit out of everyone driving them nuts.

Nadav Pollak @NadavPollak Follow It's literally insane, INSANE, that a candidate to one of US biggest and most important cities, can't even say a simple sentence "Yes, Hamas should give up their arms and leave Gaza". It's not a controversial thing to say. It's a pro-Palestine stance. Why not say it?!

What does a former intelligence officer for Israeli military and a fellow at the far right, pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy know about "pro-Palestinian" stances?
