A Boston landmark restaurant has just added a legendary award to its legacy.

What’s sad is that a bunch of young men will run with “Quiet piggy!” and say, “Relax it’s a joke…the President said it.” people.com/donald-trump...

Trump's response to a reporter's question posed to the Saudi crown prince about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi: - "A lot of people didn't like [Khashoggi]" - Salman had nothing to do with it (contrary to US intelligence reports) - "Things happen" www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Something, something national security…

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

".. Consumers in the US have absorbed an estimated 22% of tariff costs through June, but their share will rise to 67% if the latest tariffs follow the pattern of levies in previous years .." @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The only place in DC where crime is up is the White House.

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

I said what I said

“I asked whether I was being detained, and she said 'You’re not being detained,'" Chavarria said. "I said, 'Then can I go?' And she said, 'No, you may not go.'"

Can't believe I had to issue a request like this, but apparently news outlets are printing completely fabricated quotes now

JUST IN: A federal judge rules that the Trump administration must reinstate a policy to provide lawyers to people who are deemed mentally incompetent in deportation proceedings. It was terminated without a legally persuasive reason, Judge Ali finds. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/doc1/0451115...

They were in business before I wrote the book and in fact we included them in the "influencer package" we sent out for it, so

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Has delivered a masterwork of a movie (not just a superhero movie) He really captures what I like about Superman and the hope he embodies. Probably going to see the movie again in the next few days. I'm also eager to see a Mr Terrific movie, so let's get on that.

Dersh weighs in on the Epstein controversy: “I know for a fact docs are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know their names & why they’re being suppressed, but I’m bound by confidentiality so I can’t disclose it. Files are being suppressed to protect them & that’s wrong.”

NEW INFO: We just got Angela Paxton's divorce petition. She accuses her husband Ken Paxton of adultery and noted the couple ceased living together in June 2024. More: www.kut.org/politics/202... #txlege

Ben: "You're putting words in our mouths." @briantylercohen.bsky.social: "I read the tweet verbatim."

A young history museum director is becoming the talk of the town with his vintage style.

I almost can't believe that Elon Musk's AI called for the extermination of the Jewish people yesterday, and today not a single Congressional Democrat announced they were leaving his media network. A party that often claims to act against antisemitism didn't do jack shit about straight up Nazism.

NEW: Bishop Rojas of San Bernardino has dispensed his Diocese from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass due to ongoing ICE raids.

today in Grokology, the chatbot is doing antisemitism

Less than a year ago @nytimes.com was sent hacked data about Trump's vetting of JD Vance, which they refused to publish. But Mamdami's hacked college application gets an exception because of interest from random online Nazis and Chris Rufo, the NYTimes' de facto executive editor.

The Senators that voted 'yes' on this disastrous bill represent more than 30 million FEWER Americans than the Senators that voted 'no.'

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

“.. Representatives for Tesla, the Austin Police Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment ..” @bloomberg.com $TSLA www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

While tRUMP is continuing to threaten attacks on Iran if the retaliate Iran is vowing to take him down financially! They're going after the thing he values most... his 💰💰💰💰💰!

@marthawells.com “We hit our Byzantine-metric threshold & I think it has performed well enough that there will be another season. It’s not guaranteed, but I believe that to be the case,” Goyer said. “And the response, critically, I think, could not have gone better.” 🤞🏻 gizmodo.com/murderbot-se...

the Parliamentarian dropped a list of stuff that isn't eligible for reconciliation and this is the first time i'm hearing that they're trying to steal the Smithsonian's space shuttle this is (irrationally) the most upset i've been in a while

I assure you, none of them are mine.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

what say you? @americanair.bsky.social @unitedairlinesual.bsky.social

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

The Department of Defense was created to protect us, but who is going to protect us from THEM?

hashtag blessed for this content specifically marketed to me

This is from the first US Biship appointed by Pope Leo, who is directing priests to show up "in solidarity" with migrants going to court hearings. The moral bankruptcy of most "Christian" leaders in this country is just highlighted by how isolated this action is- and how silent the rest are.

Walked into an elevator with my kids. Tom Hanks was in it. “Hello, Tom Hanks.” My kids looking at me like I’m INSANE - why are you talking to a stranger? How do you know his name? TOM HANKS: Close your eyes. (Reluctantly, they do) He goes into full Woody voice. “Andy’s coming!” Smiles. [FIN]
