On one hand I recognize the immense privilege of a warm shower and on the other I think it’s a bit ridiculous that you have to wet your drys then dry your wets then rewet your drys then put drys on the wets then spend all day periodically reapplying wets to the drys

Judge Reyes wastes no time in her 70-page opinion: Trump said East Potomac Golf Links would close Nov. 15 for renovation; Interior officials testified they knew of no such plan. The injunction has no set expiration and blocks further tree removal as the case plays out.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

The press is covering the golf course theft at East Potomac National Park, but missing that most people are using the park for running, biking, fishing, picnicking, and just hanging out on the waterfront. Trump isn't just stealing our golf course, he's taking a huge, free-to-use waterfront hangout

We're aware of a phishing attack that has compromised more than 4,500 accounts. The attack spread through posts promoting a fake offer of a government payment. We have temporarily suspended the compromised accounts and are working with their owners to secure them and restore access.

I've seen at least three elected Republicans today, including the president, talk about how Democrats are going to make all the kids in schools transgender, while saying nothing about the murder of three kids in their elementary school by a special-needs teenager with a shotgun yesterday

Tonight is neither my first, second or third time seeing Morrissey live. And yet I continue to be surprised by the number of men at his shows with The Haircut

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Watching Katie Zacharia repeat the Trump Admin’s blatant lies without the usual shameless confidence we’re used to is jarring. Shows you how much of this administration’s unreality is being upheld by pure dishonest bravado. The lies fall even flatter without it.

I get it, if you are a white guy from the U.S. maybe the racism breezes by you & perhaps the disinformation posts don’t bother people as much as they do me but an entire platform that monetizes lies & ragebait is just not a healthy place to be. You can try and claim otherwise but it is a bad scene.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Reyes is furious. She has repeatedly told the government to inform her before any major demolition work was done on the golf course. The abrupt removal of 500 trees, without notice, "has cost the government all of its credibility" in this case.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

Very dystopian that on the article about a A.I. data center poisoning the air, there's a little rainbow A.I. chatbot button just lurking at the edge, waiting to poison the air some more to answer your banal question

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
