I'm having a really hard time with the decline in proofreading. Every article I've read today has had missing punctuation, doubled words, dropped words, half phrases, or bad spacing. And my brain cannot stop pointing them out and it just all feels like I'm in a remedial English class from hell

The DoD Rapid Response team on Twitter writes: "The Secretary of Defense has great jeans." The attached photo shows Sec. Pete Hegseth wearing a blue sport coat, white button-up shirt, blue jeans, and a big buckle Western belt.

I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧡

As with most right-wing things, the fact that people won't affirm their decisions is the same as taking away their rights.

In letter to Trump, alcohol groups say tariffs put $2 billion in sales at risk The United States' 15% tariff on EU goods could reduce the value of alcohol sales by almost $2 billion and put 25,000 U.S. jobs at risk, a group of 57 alcohol industry groups wrote in a letter sent to U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

I think people’s ideology is significantly shaped by whether they think β€œfirms are profit maximizers” is an obvious and banal truth, or the revelation of a sinister conspiracy

I hear a lot about how big tech apparently funds YIMBYism but I really do not think that β€œmajor Bay Area employers want to reduce Bay Area housing costs so they can hire and retain workers more easily” is the outrageous scandal that people make it out to be.

If there's one stream of thought on the left I'd love to kill, it's the "My Bitch Mom Made Me Clean My Room" Left.

A more direct restatement: The mayor of Salisbury was driving a city-owned car when he hit and injured a pedestrian who was crossing the road using a walker.

Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and Gaza differ in the speed of the destruction and the weapons involved. In Gaza it took 21 months with +100,000 tons of bombs and shooting to achieve Hiroshima's death toll and destruction. Both have in common to be industrial-scale massacres legitimised by Western impunity.

It's a "green" way for local gov officials to swing their dicks around with little chance of opposition. "What?! You hate TREES?!? "

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

It should be hammered repeatedly that we were told by Fox News that Americans were paying billions to house immigrants and now we actually are.
