Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
NEW: They Didnβt Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth.
Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care.

ah, the reputational damage of other people hearing the things you said and did
This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating.
Must-read reporting by ProPublica.
the times demand it
Jesus this is insightful banger after banger.
hi speaking as a narrative lead on a GOTY and long time builder of VO pipelines, this has literally been a solved problem for ages with text to speech and other tools so we havenβt ever needed evil shit like genAI for this solved ass problem. This is basic shit.
I want to congratulate Taylor on this, it's a huge accomplishment and she's a fantastic attorney.
However, Mamdani is clearly using this to deflect from the fact he has done nothing as NYC hospitals violate the law and deny care to trans youth. We want action, not representation.
one of the earliest lessons in politics I learned as a kid from my parents was to always vote for a tax increase, because you're trading a dollar amount so small you probably won't notice in order to fund something important that benefits everybody. I wish that was how Democrats messaged this stuff!
If you find yourself following someone who is called woke ginger or pissed off nurse or whatever, theyβre not your ally. Your ally is someone with an obscure PokΓ©mon avatar called like ant piss aficionado

Splinter sees something that catches his eye
Splinter back home and saying βMy sons, I bear you four a gift to show you my gratitude. A βnintendoβ that you all speak so fondly ofβ. He presents a box for the Nintendo Wii U with Super Mario 3D World included
The four turtles stand there awkwardly, with Leo replying βUhβ¦ Thanks, Dadβ
No one tell him

It is hard to overstate, for non-lawyers, just how milquetoast the ABA is in normal times. Itβs supposed to be boring insurance lawyers leading workshops with boring tax lawyers, trying to drum up business.
A pissed off ABA is like dentists manning the barricades and singing Le Marseillaise.
They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage
Eh, why should we research Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? It's not like these issues could ever possibly affect me, personally, because I, like every Republican, have no conception of time, probability, or cause and effect, I exist in a void filled solely by malicious urges.
Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability π
Peter Jackson giving up movies for his real love, cleaning up World War I newsreels and Beatles concert footage, is a perfect guy-in-his-60s move. Something for us all to aspire to.
wait are these the actual paid protesters
just found out the eight year old got dealt enough of a bad hand with teeth that weβre going to need thousands of dollars of orthodontic work already
thank goodness we have the money but it is absurd that the health care industry treats teeth as luxury bones that are almost entirely out of pocket
My son and I just made some amazing sliders for dinner so I'll say one more time -- if your teen decides they want to get into cooking, do everything you can to make that happen.
For the life of me I cannot understand why Ds are trying to out-Republican Rs on taxes **in this particular moment in time**
That's the sort of thing when you're getting blown out and desperate, not when you're looking at a D+13 or more midterm wave
Canβt believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write
itβs unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
Thereβs nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or βjust saying what everyoneβs thinkingβ
Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. Itβs called control. What youβre doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.
Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
