just thinking about how USAID was dismantled under the rationale of cost savings but there's an unlimited budget for war

From the folks (no really, the exact same people) who will use any excuse to sideline voices from the wrong side of their prep school fences in the name of “objective journalism”

I wonder how many of the wealthy westerners fleeing the gulf are leaving migrant worker maids, nannies, drivers and other staff behind.

No notes.

This man was murdered by the federal immigration authorities as surely as Renee Good and Alex Pretti were

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

If I were any of the victims that survived or the families of the ones that didn't? I would take Sam Altman & company to the fucking cleaners.

I'm talking suing the company for so much money that his great-grandchildren would be paying my family line in installments.

One side of the coin is that a lawmaker is saying that educating himself made him change his mind on an issue. (Which, good!)

The other side of the coin is that he's admitting that he authored, sponsored, filed a bill while having evidently spent no time doing reading or research about the topic.

The Absent Women Of 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs' The Coen Brothers usually expose and elevate the genre they're working in. Here, they failed.

Later, I was delighted to see @forbes.com did a story on it, because it made me so livid. www.forbes.com/sites/saraha...

I can’t think of a theater one, but I was so pissed off halfway through the Ballad of Buster Scruggs (I would have stopped watching if I’d been alone), because legit a woman had not yet spoken more than ten words in it.

This is a fucking five alarm fire.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

when they have me flying a bomber in Civil War Woke im painting this on the payload

If a scholarship fund gets started for this kid, please, please let me know.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain

Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families

Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

I hate myself for how hard I laugh at “Jerry’s eating rice.”

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

We finally got home over the weekend, but we are the lucky ones! The main issue is that there has been no communication from NES, other than look at the outage map. (Which is often wrong and rarely updated.)

Article excerpt: In my few days in Minnesota, I’ve been witness to countless scenes that remind me of moments I’ve seen during previous trips covering conflicts around the world. I watched heavily armored federal units roll through quiet neighborhoods. In a grocery store parking lot, angry residents screamed at agents, demanding they leave the city. Masked and armed government agents pointed weapons toward me and some protesters during an encounter in the middle of the afternoon. Curious guests in a hotel elevator wondered why I was carrying around a medical pack and gas mask. Local residents thanked me for being there to witness the situation. A drunk man at a hotel bar cursed at me, saying the media was at fault. The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home.

We were never notified by NES that our power had been restored, and we are still shown as out on the map. I just happened to run home to grab something.

After one freezing night at home, six nights in a hotel. We FINALLY have power! Shout out to all the amazing people at La Quinta Inn Downtown Stadium in Nashville for being so wonderful during a stressful time. They gave us an early, early check-in and let us keep our room every time we extended. ♥️

Reminded of the time that a BBC World Service presenter asked their guest how long there had been a Latino presence in Los Angeles and I yelled at my car stereo, “The name of the city is **LOS ANGELES**!”

It is truly astonishing to watch this state vote to make itself miserable and unsupported over and over. I need someone to explain it to me like I’m five. (I know the reason, but still.)

We are almost a week in, 60,000+ still don’t have power, and a cold weather advisory tonight through the weekend.

There should be investigations into how poorly this storm was handled by NES, local, state, and federal government.

A fluffy black cat is sitting on the edge of a white hotel bed with her tongue out. She’s about to attack a toy.

Hotel kitty cat tax, just because everything is so awful. But she isn’t. 🖤
