👇🏽 the op-Ed from MEMPHIS D.A. Steve Mulroy saying police are being trained to kill and told killings of George Floyd & Eric Garner were “justifiable” Police + other D.A.’s reacted by getting angry at Mulroy, not the training company: @forcescience www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The Pact

The media, wholesale, derided President Biden’s pullout of Afghanistan as “botched” — over 120,000 people were evacuated, and 13 American soldiers were killed. His popularity took a nosedive and never recovered.

it’s been how many years since we started hearing the rhetoric “we are laying ppl off bc AI has rendered these human employees useless” when the actual reasons are a myriad of “we over hired” “we are making decisions based on some new trendy stats””all my frds r doing it” etc

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

We're going to have a computer do the phrenology

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

in case you're not sure who dhh is, he's a danish counterstrike player and race car owner who writes essays like "i am smarter than you" and "foreigners bad" rich enough not to worry about consequences but at the very same time, still desperate for status, a man two friends short of a podcast

omg as a pentester PLEASE use one of these! Get them for your entire company. It’ll go great

Art depicting “Sandwich Guy” now at the scene of the alleged misdemeanor.

'Logan Lucky' released in theaters 8 years ago and this George R.R. Martin joke still holds true today

This response belongs in a museum. "Best of luck on something literally no one, including you, will read" is absolute chef's kiss.

Incredible scenes

Do not lead the goats.

“Are we Grok?”

Zohran mamdani you have 48 hours to release how fast you ran the mile in 7th grade or the New York Times will publish without comment

Mamdani must explain his tweet from 1740 BC claiming that Ea-nāṣir had "high quality copper"

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

Jesus the juxtaposition of a forced military parade, a political assassination tipline, and then mounted cops firing on protesters. Insanity

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

The Ethicist | We pretended to be foreign to game our son's way into Harvard. How do we reveal that we're American so he can stay enrolled?

My pet peeve with AI assisted writing is having to read content that the author hasn’t even read themselves. If you can’t put in the effort to read what you supposedly wrote, why should I?

Has the Trump Department of Defense team restored masculine warrior energy to the military? We asked three makeup artists touching up Pete Hegseth's foundation and eyeliner.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Sure Mark Carney is PM. But I'm still almost more impressed that I think he's maybe the only person in human history to be the central banker of two different countries? That can't be common.

Did y'all know that before the crowbar was invented, crows just drank at home 🥴🥴🤣🤣 Happy Sunday y'all

Look how comfortable that dog is on Tyler Shough’s lap. GREEN FLAG. That’s the kind of teammate I want in my QB room.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

This is Chachamaru. After much contemplation, he has decided that yes, you may have this dance. 13/10 (TW: chachamaru_pug)

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Trueism: Presidents don't have a lot of impact on the economy. Fine Print: Because most don't do totally insane things.

Get involved locally and change your part of the world for the better.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Washington Post literally is just covering it as a minor part of "live updates" - www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... "House might bar lawmakers from trying to curtail Trump’s tariff authority"

people don't think the Democrats do things because the media doesn't report very much on what Democrats do

From Tom Lawrence. I'm currently in project delivery phase and this is how I'm dealing currently with meeting requests.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

It's fascinating and hilarious to me posters are still out here inventing a guy to get mad at when there is very clearly one guy at whom everyone is already mad!

a lot of people think you need a lot of money to buy clothes. now you're right. ok. my bad.

This is high art

Really neutered way of saying this dude is a fascist. President’s Third Term Talk Defies Constitution and Tests Democracy www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/u...

soooo this is going to be a post that makes absolutely everyone unhappy: black bloc is a part of diversity of tactics handknit pussy hats are part of a diversity of tactics voting is a part of diversity of tactics

Three million Americans marched today. Here’s why we wrote about one American who didn’t.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.
