I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Given the news that Meta throttled Lula in Brazil and stories like this one below every Dem state legislature should open an investigation into whether the platforms have attempted to influence elections in their states.

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn/Throne of Bhaal. Jon Irenicus is deeply underrated as an all-time video game villain.

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!

You are kept out of the Discover feed by an account setting. I'm kept out of the Discover feed by posting only boring crap no one wants to read. We are not the same.

There's a setting in Privacy and Security settings that can keep your posts out of the Discover tab.

I've had the bittersweet fortune to see loved ones get to this particular state. It's time to stop parading this man around like he's got any capacity to do anything except sit around all day, and let him have his final days in the peace and comfort he so eagerly denied others.

Honestly, I'd say the most disastrous decisions of Obama and Biden were not really holding anyone accountable for crimes committed under the previous administration. Obama wanted to "turn the page" on Iraq and the financial meltdown while Biden never put any urgency behind the January 6th cases

What a weird coincidence, surely these seemingly independent companies couldn't have a single point of failure caused by incestuously sharing the identical infrastructure.

one part “my green room friends thought it was mean,” one part debilitating fear of backlash. inability to see that ossof successfully goaded the white house into *being reactive* and thus revealing that there is a story here

I would say that the Rime of the Ancient Mariner will have its day, but I checked and apparently it already got adapted back in 1978.

Louisiana. The Napoleonic Code should've died when Bonaparte was exiled to Elba, but its vestiges remain alive and well there.

Retired actress films documentary about movies she starred in.

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

It is sometimes said that one should not speak ill of the dead. In response, I say that if you want to be honored in death, act honorably in life. To that end, I day: Good riddance, Lindsay Graham. May you have the afterlife you deserve.

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

I feel like people should be asking more questions about how many companies are killing their successful businesses to prop up their failing AI ventures.

I would say anything in the category of "baked good filled with fruit." Jelly doughnuts, Fig Newtons, pavlova, Mochi, strudel, an so on. And yes I know Mochi is technically made with sweet beans, not fruit, but I feel like it spiritually counts.

Notably, 115,000 is still below the roughly 150,000 jobs per month needed to prevent unemployment from rising, so this is still a disappointing number by most metrics.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

This:is 💯 correct. The vast majority of Section 2 litigation (and settlements made under the threat of litigation) have been at the local level. Callais will gut minority representation in city councils, county supervisors, and school boards across the county.

Anything matzoh-related. Of course, matzoh itself has the taste and consistency of cardboard, but matzoh ball soup is only marginally better, and that's mostly due to the advantage of flavoring from the soup stock. Only matzoh brei arises to the level of "tolerable," and even then, only just.

My takeaway from the pandemic is that people were way more traumatized by the interruption to their lives than by all the death and I don’t think people want to think about that because, man, it’s really uncomfortable!

There are a couple of bits of FFIX that spooked me as a kid. I won't say much, to avoid spoling, other than that it's where you learn about Zidane and his origins.

Can someone out there please count up all the CPAC speakers who ranted about George Soros funding left wing causes? Be sure to take breaks and stretch every hour or two.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's opposition leader Peter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded his election loss in a phone call.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Melania Trump delivers statement at White House denying ties to Jeffrey Epstein and knowledge of his crimes.

Someone check to see who just cashed out big on "No Destruction of Iran" on the prediction markets.

It is insane to me that, collectively, we can't be sure that Trump will carry out his threat of destroying Iran- not because of any moral compunction, but because it might all just be some scam to juice the prediction markets so he and his allies can cash out before pulling back at the last moment.

As hurricane season approaches, Democrats should just run an ad with this clip across the South, letting people know what they're in for

Great turnout at the #NoKings Protest here in Huntington NY.

One of the first things I learned, when looking into starting a business, was you need to have a business plan with a realistic idea of how you are going to turn a profit. But I guess once you get into the billionaire range, you can just wait ten years and then decide how you will make money.

Because we put... incels in charge of the Pentagon???

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.

"I need water to live, therefore any story involving people drowning is anti-water propaganda. That is how we are unlocking opportunities for the new ocean floor real estate industry."

Age verification? I waited on line to pick up a Nintendo Gamecube on release day.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
