I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

i know that this happens so often it is an easy target for jokes and ridicule but seriously how does this happen so often

The Columbus Dispatch this morning

great news for people who love it when a cop explodes

“If every piece of software is a door, AI makes it exceptionally easy to turn turn the knobs of every door to see if it’s unlocked ... Not only are some of the locks easy to pick, in some cases the door is wide open or there’s a giant hole in the wall.”

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"

In the coming century, there will be very few people who have seen a coral reef or a glacier.

Google is now the definition of evil.

NEW: Do you remember Chris Duncan? He spent 30+ years on death row in Louisiana, convicted with junk science from doctors later revealed to have created a bite mark on victim. He was found innocent by a judge last year. Now the judge is running to take over the DA office that prosecuted Duncan.

"There is something deeply wrong with Talarico," Elon Musk announced on Twitter today.

Attorney General Todd Blanche says there's a "misperception that there's this separation and independence between the Department of Justice and the White House." "I work for President Trump."

This is what happens when young men do not have the moral and spiritual courage to just admit that they're dumb.

*completely sincerely* No one man should have all that power.

This is, sadly, a pretty typical Seattle council meeting on homelessness. An overwhelming majority of public speakers explain why a how a proposed new punitive policy will harm homeless people. Supporters of the legislation display listening faces or don't, then vote for the legislation.

Mistake I see in turnout analyses is confusing *voting lines* & *high turnout*. You can have high turnout in a place that planned for it, has tons of locations/staff, & see no lines! Or middling turnout in a place that doesn't care to help, enough to trigger long lines!

"Weiss also tasked staff with pursuing the theory that Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico was in a mental health facility after he disappeared from the campaign trail for over a week in October" www.semafor.com/article/10/1...

Andreessen still presents himself as a man of the midwest, including to Trump donors. But he has done fuck all for Wisconsin, or the university that gave him his start. Its the same rug-pull Trump has pulled. The forgotten America are only ever useful as a rhetorical prop.

Insulating homes and investing in heat pumps would be more effective in reducing living costs, creating jobs, and boosting the economy than drilling for new oil.

Hey everyone - we're interviewing a group of experts and researchers on data center impact on the grid, water, and human health. It'd help if you could share some questions for them here: www.youtube.com/post/UgkxOZM...

TikTok owned by the Ellisons who now have Paramount, Warner Broa, CBS and CNN. Was real great to let fascists take control of virtually all media.

Today, another American citizen & journalist was brutalized by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank. This repeated violence & brazen impunity for attacks against Americans & Palestinians alike are unacceptable. When will Trump & Rubio DO SOMETHING?

it sucks living in the evil timeline

New — Mike Huckabee's family company is offering $5800+ trips to Israel, so tourists can meet "top Israeli officials," even while he is the Ambassador to Israel. Plus: he promised his Huck PAC would go "dormant" if he became ambassador. That didn't happen. Over the past 2 years, it's raised $4.5M.

A private plane, not owned by Talarico or anyone affiliated with him, flew to Austin from an area in Ohio 30 min from a facility another Texas Dem once used, on the same day Talarico went to ACL, a festival that brings 10,000s air travelers to Austin. It was enough for the story to catch on.

A law signed by Nebraska Sen. Pete Ricketts when he was governor gave $836 million in tax breaks to data centers in 5 years before the new governor stopped it. This wasn't a mistake but how Republicans think the economy should work: economic development can only be achieved with corporate welfare.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

The federal government is in its snuff films era

Hmmmm, wonder why Katie Miller deleted this tweet?

hard to believe that people this vacuous are looked up to by a significant amt of people. hopefully one day soon they AI generate something so freakin epic it makes them forget to eat and drink for a few days

Republicans would rather your children watch a man get killed than a drag queen read
