Irony is dead.

Oh so it’s not an economy story, it’s once again about women.

I’d have respected the economy story.

Yeah that’s so much easier than what I was doing, thanks! Pen’s back in service!

Ohhhhh! Ok!

Hey Abigail — having trouble getting my pen open to replace the cartridge. What am I doing wrong? I’m trying to turn the top but it’s not moving.

It’s absolutely true. The quad is not for the feint of heart. It shows skill mastery. The backflip is dangerous.

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

Oh cool, I can get colors!

Hey @abigailmarkov.com — the fidget pens take Cross refills, right? Any particular model? I need to refill.

His name was Alex Pretti.
He was 37.
He was a U.S. citizen.
He had a legal permit to carry a gun in an open
carry state.
He was a VA nurse.
He just came out of a doughnut shop.
He was filming on the sidewalk.
He’s dead.
By our government’s hand.

Where the chemtrails aren’t: Florida airport reports show no weather modification activity Florida's airports are now required to submit monthly reports on weather-modification activities. Have there been any? News 6 requested the reports.

Florida started making airports file monthly reports about geoengineering activities and aircraft (think chemtrails).

So we pulled the reports. Can you guess what we found? www.clickorlando.com/news/florida...

Arduous and Unequal: The Fight to Get FEMA Housing Assistance After Helene An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.

But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

@wilwheaton.net how does it feel to be a Lego minifigure?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Why is the government shut down? Here’s what we know Heightened partisan rhetoric on the federal government shutdown hit Central Florida when a congressman said Democrats were to blame if the shutdown hurt recovery efforts in storm-damaged Lake County.

On Monday a Central Florida congressman attended a news conference about damage from Sunday night's storms and accused Democrats of keeping the government shut down over health care for illegal immigrants.

So I had to spend today fact-checking. www.clickorlando.com/news/politic...

Every time I called Dr. Jim Clark to ask questions for a story, he'd answer "What do you want! Why are you bothering me now?" 😆 But then we'd have a fascinating conversation on whatever it is we were talking about. He had a wealth of knowledge. I will miss him.

Who is this person and why are we listening to their opinions?

101 TikTok accounts masquerading as real news spread misinformation to millions Shallow impersonations of Telemundo, CNN, Fox News and other media got more than 200 million views posting fake ICE arrests and bombastic AI slop about geopolitics

NEW on @indicator.media:

I found 101 accounts impersonating Telemundo, Televisa, CNN and other media outlets spreading clickbaity falsehoods to millions on TikTok.

The company took them all down after I reached out.

This is real. It comes up when you go to HUD.gov. Seems to be the only agency that has this on the front page, at least that I’ve found so far.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.

However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.

I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

Switch to crunchy garlic in chili oil instead.

News organizations:

You need to start covering and following Geoff Martin, aka captive dreamer, arguably the most dangerous and sociopathic neo-Nazi on the internet.

He spends literally 100% of his time trying to whip up political violence on Twitter, against liberals, immigrants, and minorities.

Crisis within CDC is spilling into real world, experts say "I’ve never heard as many colleagues saying things like 'CDC is dead’ as I have today," an agency employee told STAT.

This is telling: People I spoke to are talking about CDC in the past tense.

I see so many people jumping into running for office for the first time for Congress. And half the time they want to change things that you aren't going to do in federal office anyway.

Meanwhile, there's no one running for local offices. And that's a problem! www.clickorlando.com/news/politic...

They FUCKED with Elmo.

And every day, they screw up and brush their teeth with increasingly awkward topical ointments instead.
And their mechanic can't replicate the issue with their car.
