A White House website with a dedicated Lügenpresse tab marks a pretty bleak moment in US history.

Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

Every time I see a cyber truck I am reminded that I've never seen a Cyber truck with someone in the passenger seat.

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car

he was married at the time

Faint green and red northern lights above some trees.

Minneapolis, she’s percolating. I can see the green with my own eyes; the red only through my phone.

Between the neon green court and the RW propaganda ads on FanDuel, it’s hard to watch this Wolves game even though they’re winning.

Came here looking for someone else who hates it lol. It’s awful

what do you mean half the hotels in the world, paypal, venmo, the nyt, reddit, and amazon are all down at the same time with no real idea when they'll be operational again

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Headline: Trump Has His Eyes on Nobel Prize. Will He Get It?

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

Oh

there is a government shutdown with no end in sight and it’s not even really the lead story rn because the president can’t stop invading American cities for no reason other than spite

#WarRavagedPortland

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

Trump officials discussed sending elite Army division to Portland, text messages show A high-ranking White House official was indiscreetly texting about the Portland, Ore., planning last weekend, according to messages shared with the Minnesota Star Tribune.

“Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth considered sending an elite U.S. Army strike force to Portland, Ore., to quell protests that President Donald Trump has characterized as ‘lawless mayhem,’ according to images of messages provided to the Minnesota Star Tribune.”

Trump didn’t even bother to tweet or mention once the death of Officer Rose defending the CDC from a mass shooter, a former Marine who gave his life in service of this country but he’s got the entire government & cable networks covering his speech at rally for a podcaster/troll.

Jarvis Cocker of Pulp sits on the stage during an intimate moment with the crowd in Minneapolis, 9/20/25.

Pulp plays live onstage with the band name in neon lights behind them.

Pulp making dreams come true last night in Minneapolis. I’m 29 and a half years older than when I last saw them play here, but I rode it out in the front row like it was 1996.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Today is Jarvis Cocker's birthday, so we recommend 'Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets,' which is streaming on Kanopy, The Criterion Channel, OVID, Fawesome, and Pluto TV. Here's our review of the music doc: buff.ly/2M04iFC

Tweet from Dan Satterfield Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

YouTube video by Associated Press Starmer gives Trump a letter from King Charles inviting him for state visit

Trump is illiterate. Literally.

During his last WH visit, PM Starmer handed Trump a letter, asked him to read & respond to it.

Trump just stared at it for a while, chirped about the signature, and then told the PM to read it.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness
