"At the time it seemed like [KATRINA, COVID, 9/11, DEEPWATER HORIZON, INSERT YOUR OWN HERE] would force a reckoning"

You ever get the feeling no reckoning is ever actually coming? People watch too many movies. In real life, atrocity is a permanent state of being.

the monoculture demands that all logos be minimalist slop to appeal to c-suite ghouls who think art is woke

Jamie Lee Curtis Is ‘Very Excited’ About Her ‘Murder, She Wrote’ Reboot: ‘It’s Happening’ Jamie Lee Curtis gave a small update on her 'Murder, She Wrote' movie, affirming that 'It's happening.'

This, but make the season 1 twist the fan theory that Jessica Fletcher is really the one doing the killing and framing people for it

ChatGPT Gave Instructions for Murder, Self-Mutilation, and Devil Worship OpenAI’s chatbot also said “Hail Satan.”

The best part of this article is the sentence: “The Atlantic has a corporate partnership with OpenAI.”

Two news headlines:

Caitlin Clark's rookie card fetches $660,000 at auction in record sale

WNBA players say they're not paid what they're owed. Are they right?

Two news headlines: Caitlin Clark's rookie card fetches $660,000 at auction in record sale WNBA players say they're not paid what they're owed. Are they right?

Her salary is $78,000, so based on the first piece of information I'd say yes she is not being paid what she's worth.

Hulk Hogan's Real American Beer Flying Off Shelves After WWE Star's Death Hulk Hogan's Real American Beer is flying off shelves following the WWE star's death, and his company is hustling to restock retailers between New York, Florida and beyond.

not to "ruin" tmz for you (lol) but real american beer was *pitching* this story to journalists today. i saw the press release come through and it was one of the grimmer things i've laid eyes on in 15 years of covering the beer industry. which is why i did not write about it!

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

As I've been saying for years, people want to deport the "bad ones" and let the "good ones" stay, and their views on what that means as a policy measure have not developed any further than that. Which is why the Trump admin going hard on quotas and rounding up gardeners is going over so poorly.

I found this too but wasn't confident enough to publish it here, but now there's confirmation I'm happy to see.

to be clear there is NO reason this video should or would legitimately be imported into Premiere if it was "raw" as the FBI claims

It's funny that LEO's can arrest a reputed crime boss with underlings ready to murder from one of the 5 families bold and bare faced.

But bringing in Abuelita Guadalupe who sells tortillas outside of church on Sunday is just way too risky.

Noem recently said "The federal government doesn't do the disaster relief, the states do."

She doesn't know what the "F" stands for in FEMA.

Because she doesn't know what the "F" she's doing.

Basing mortgage qualifications on shady and highly volatile assets. That’s never caused problems before so why not.

And then this shit just came out.

When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.

When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

This is why traditional political power hoarders hate RCV — it encourages coalitions, doesn’t hate voters, and makes divide and conquer & demonization less effective/attractive. Scorched earth is actually a terrible planet to live on.
