What in Big Brother is this?
"What we need to do is have the best teachers and pay them more, but they wouldn't teach 30 kids. They might teach 10 million kids at a time, because it would be presented to the internet with local teachers reinforcing the lessons." www.cbsnews.com/news/rand-pa...

"Because the flights were over international waters." 😆 The laziest ad hoc ever ad hocked.

In the coming days, remember these two simple rules:
1. When things go well, it's to Trump's credit.
2. When things go badly, it's someone else's fault.

This move might inadvertently expose Trump's reliance on Russian influence.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off:

"I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too."

Germans: It was a Nazi salute.

We have language to describe people who voluntarily work with fascists. It's time to revive it.

"Phone-free schools" aren't phone-free. In schools where "away all day" policies have been put in place, the number of 504s for phones is skyrocketing.

AI filmmaking will produce a million Zack Snyders.

Wikipedia is what the internet was supposed to be: open-source, altruistic and dedicated to expanding human knowledge.

Red State librarians are genuine opposition leaders

Do you know whether Bluesky is doing anything about it?

I have a feeling Liz Cheney won't accept a preemptive pardon if it's offered—and I hope she doesn't.

To the politically apathetic, I bet presidential nominating conventions look like cult gatherings.

Screenshot of Joe Pesci in a ridiculous Donald Trump style wig, wearing a bunnies suit and scrolling next to Oscar the Grouch.

Screenshot of a muppet with Donald Trump style hair, wild and angry eyebrows, who appears to be in the middle of an angry rant during which he’s gesticulating wildly. He has an over demeanor and appearance similar to Oscar the Grouch and is sticking out of the top of a trash can that’s labeled “GRUMP.”

I would like to remind everyone that Sesame Street has been mocking Donald Trump since the 1980s with a character depicted as a villainous, trash-loving real estate developer.

Mangione's cringe fanclub is in for a rude awakening when they learn not everyone loves the idea of a rich white guy getting away with murder

Americans' preference for fantasy is why so many people love this week's assassination: a lone wolf kills the evil CEO, and thanks to him, we're now on the verge of toppling the power structure and entering an era of reform.

In Attack’s Wake, Political Repercussions (Published 2011) A suspect was in custody and a second was being sought after Representative Gabrielle Giffords was wounded and John M. Roll, a federal judge, was killed.

No doubt Gabby Giffords' would-be assassin thought he was firing on someone who "deserves it."
