the United States, the great Satan, is but a paper tiger, a weak nation, a weak people, a people ripe for destruction.

Just cross over into Hades already you tired sack of shame

Hello, pal. You all right?

This is a bigger affair than initially claimed - there are at least three jihadists visible on CCTV camera as shared by Al-Arabiya below. The death toll may significantly change with how prepared the jihadists were. And it's not the end at all.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

Expanding the Court is the moderate position

WTF?

Nothing ominous about that...

Meta is quite literally a scourge on our society

But between crap like this, endless fundraising texts that drive supporters away with spammy fake deadlines and trash "match" claims, scam PACs run rampant for firms to grift without actually supporting candidates,

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx's campaign has re-filed financial disclosures to remove Marx's name from a mystery out-of-state company profiting from his merchandise sales. But the new disclosures don't provide the legally-required info on who owns the LLC.

Trump shameful betrayal of brave Ukraine places his support as a de facto agent of Putin the despot. Simply incredible that Trump supports and praises these criminal dictators and excoriates our democratic allies.

one thing that would better position Democrats to win these tough races would be if co-founders of lavishly-funded "Democratic think tanks" cared more about winning than getting their name in the newspaper and so declined the opportunity to shit on Democratic candidates 3 weeks before election day

Have to be clear just how dangerous this is. If it continues, it effectively removes constitutional rights from an entire class of people. Imagine you had to fear that if you criticize the regime, any error on paperwork filled out by your family decades ago could be used to strip your citizenship.

I made some seasonal stuff... outta wood

not to be a one-trick pony but Biden was, in fact, trying very hard to fix this shit by building up US chip fab capabilities and we decided to reward him for that by reëlecting Trump who immediately took the axe to American chip manufacturing mid-buildout

wholesale diesel prices not blinking over Russia/US "deal", wholesale prices up 13-24c/gal, $6/gal diesel may be here to stay for now- truckers and farmers not going to see any relief anytime soon.

Trump's opponents cannot simply wave away that existence; this does not mean he is more popular than he appears to be, but it does mean that he has support that is genuine, committed, and non-artificial, and there is no easy answer to that problem other than denying them power through politics

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy...boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl…girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Morally fucked up how the rich get rewarded for making themselves richer and the world worse. You took out student loans and are still paying them off? You're financially irresponsible. Nearly run a multibillion dollar company into the ground? Here's your hundreds of millions in severance.

This is clearly not acceptable

This time will be the time that works.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Gunmen overran a military base in north-west Nigeria's Zamfara state on Monday, killing at least 25 soldiers. A day later, they attacked a huge gold mining site with thousands of workers, killing at least 100. Crisis in Nigeria expands. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Guys like this should be expelled from the party.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

We need to rephrase the whole discussion in terms of hazardous products, instead of "minds". And then we need to make sure that there's liability. A model hacks someone? Put a C-suite guy in jail. A model produces sexual harassment material? Put a C-suite guy in jail. Watch how fast things get safe

Listening to Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit wave away the sexual assault charges against DeShaun Watson — even saying “winning is the best deodorant” — was pretty jarring, especially this week.

Let me say a couple words about paywalls. They’re annoying. I feel that (as a news consumer) and know that (as a news publisher). But asking for your email, either to read an article or even to access a gift link (someone said this happened to them a a Times gift link a moment ago) isn’t some …
