The degree to which this administration is evil would be comical if not for all the lives they impact.

😆😆😆

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

Dominican Republic -- dancing, hugging, whomping baseballs

Italy -- chugging espresso, kissing, whomping baseballs

United States -- gritting teeth, thinking about the troops, leaving runners in scoring position

Spent this afternoon with Assemblymember Valdez and Ridgewood leader Father Mike Lopez, distributing food to our neighbors at the Hungry Monk Rescue Truck. 

No better way to start the weekend.

Exactly this. 🎯

The bottom is we're all dead and the earth is poisoned against human existence for eons to come.

The Death of a Great American Newspaper I began reading The Washington Post in the summer of 1982 when I moved to Washington, D.C., to attend law school. Ben Bradlee was then Exec...

🗃️I fell in love with The Washington Post in 1982. For half a century, it was among the best all-around papers in the country. Jeff Bezos has destroyed a great American institution just when we most need good journalism to hold the powerful to account.

How Epstein lured girls to his Zorro Ranch and kept authorities away At least 10 women and girls say they were groomed at what was once Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.

To this day, no one has fully accounted for the crimes committed at Zorro Ranch, a failure that confounds victims, local officials and the public. Decades of missed chances allowed the ranch to escape scrutiny, prolonging its secrets and delaying justice for the girls Epstein brought there.

And whether you like it or not, Khalil was objectively using his right to free speech. That is objectively true. It is a fact. It isn't "anodyne" to say so. But what can one expect from The Atlantic magazine?

This article though is pretty funny in that it claims that Mamdani's view that Israel has committed genocide is an unpopular one. Actually it is definitionally popular among Democrats, more than 75% of all Democratic voters agree with him according to the most recent polling.

Where Mamdani Has Refused to Moderate The New York City mayor is not soft-pedaling his views on Israel.

It is amusing to see so many people on the left flank say that Mamdani has endlessly and needlessly moderated without a hard limit on Palestine and then see so many on the right flank say Mamdani has refused to moderate on Palestine whatsoever.

I stopped gambling (mostly) last year and the way the books hound you with notifications/emails to Get Back In The Game should 100% be illegal
like if Coors could text drinkers "15 days since your last beer ... sounds like you need an ice cold Coors Light" and also their phone could give them a beer

It is actually possible to regulate gambling advertising, and while designing such a regulatory regime could be complicated, it can also be very simple, such as "there shall be no gambling advertising".

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.

Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

The Washington Post Is Using Reader Data to Set Subscription Prices. How Does That Work? - Washingtonian If recent events have not compelled you to cancel your Washington Post subscription, then you might have been in for sticker shock at the dawn of your latest billing cycle. Many readers have been…

Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

Text Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director. Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.

It’s very strange that many headlines today are a about war making petroleum more expensive rather than war killing people, harming people, destroying the environment.

Trump is the best example of what the American Empire is at its core.

Minnesota Frost fan on the zamboni has a sign reading No ICE, no war, no kings, which was immediately taken off the big screen once it was shown on camera.

Fans continue to let out cheers, but just began booing as a team official removed it on the ice.

Fuck yeah WOKE ZAMBONI

The rise of online vibrant events in early Covid offered a lot of hope for disabled/chronically ill people who have access issues attending IRL events (including going into a flare later). Anti-Zoom reactive sentiment pushed a lot of people into being more isolated again.
