The Nobel Committee must have overlooked this

I just think it’s strange that all the gambling companies have ads with athletes and celebrities instead of featuring all their users who have become millionaires betting, very strange indeed

I love Berkeley, people will build their entire politics around the idea that mitigating climate change requires radically restructuring the world economy, but they draw the line at a 12 story building a few blocks away or replacing some parking spaces with bike lanes.

Perhaps the USA’s greatest north flowing river. High Falls Downtown would be a bigger draw if Niagara Falls weren’t 80 miles away.

Who dares eat the sidewalk planter corn? A feast awaits the bold.

The thing I'm maddest about re:Platner are all the people who never served in the military who told me that it was perfectly normal for enlisted military people to get Nazi tattoos. NO IT FUCKING ISN'T.

okay reading up on these folks and here’s my initial assessment

Israel treats American presidents exactly like how police departments treat big city mayors

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Also, I am not a moderate Democrat. One of the most irritating and destructive habits of the online left is acting as if progressives who urge other progressives to work in a coalition with more moderate Dems, are THEMSELVES moderate Dems. No! We are progressives who are not acting like children!

High-info ppl chastising lower-info ppl for becoming sympathetic higher-info ppl has got to be the WORST form of “I don’t actually want to win, I just want to be smugly condescending to everyone bc I’m empty inside” anti-politics that there is.

the one she thinks they're founding right now

The letter the Oregon TAG (top National Guard General in the state) sent to his troops needs more visibility on Bluesky.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

James Bond movies never show the part where the supervillain collects government subsidies to build his death tech.

It’s “broken windows,” not “broken regulations.”
