They can't control what's happening now, so they're trying to control what gets said about it.

Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.

After years of delay, look what's finally hanging in the Capitol.

To the heroes who served on that dark day, thank you.

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

Pres. Obama at the Jackson service:

"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions."

"If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."

Get some sleep. Sweet dreams. 😴

I Hired a Lab to Counterfeit-Test a Dozen Suspicious Beauty Products I Bought Online. Every Single One Had a Problem. Our reporter spent six months digging into the confusing cesspool of counterfeit beauty products sold online.

If you buy beauty products and skin care online, stay vigilant. Writer Rose Maura Lorre bought products from third-party sellers on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and more, and sent them to a lab to find out how similar they were to the original formula.

Someone please adopt this sweet girl. 🤍

this shit is just beyond parody, man

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

The three people most mentioned in the Epstein files are Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump.

One of them died in prison, one of them is in prison now, and one of them is president.

But sure, let’s depose Hillary Clinton.

Summers To Resign From Teaching Appointments, Relinquish University Professorship Over Epstein Ties | News | The Harvard Crimson Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship — Harvard’s highest...

"Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship — Harvard’s highest faculty distinction — and remaining on leave until that time"

Trump’s surgeon general pick regularly recommending things she has a financial stake in without disclosing.

A perfect fit for this regime.

Midterm message:

This is quite possibly the dumbest — and most dangerous — idea ever. Grok is unreliable and frequently manipulated by Elon based on whatever bender he’s on.

Will this version of Grok be air-gapped from the public version? Will they share knowledge repositories?

What a shitshow.

U.S. Women's Hockey Team declines Trump's invitation to the State of the Union President Donald Trump invited the men's and women's hockey teams after both won gold medals in overtime games against Canada.

From climbing on roofs, to falling out of trees, to flying airplanes off of ships and rockets into space, I’m kind of shocked both of us made it this far. Happy Birthday, Scott.

This really is a great picture:

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
