It's better to have it and not need it than to have to need it and then go through the BS of signing up for it. I'm not here that often, either. But it's not terrible.

When the lines hit your eye
And they just make you cry
That's a Moiré....

FAFO is "poison to the journalist’s soul"? LOL. Responsible Journalists write for truth and justice, not stenography for power. Actions have consequences. These idiots are finding that out. So, no, FAFO is actually appropriate to the plight these fools find themselves in.

Exactly this. I'm more of an NDP person, but the point holds: Truth and Integrity are what matter in this realm, political parties are secondary.

It's all good. Frankly, one can be massively partisan and still be fair and critical. All it takes is integrity and honesty. So, if some people ditch you because you criticised their hero, fine. Did you do so fairly? Did you did it honestly? Yes? Yes? Then FINE - you're good. Ignore the fools.

He's 62yo. He might be sick of the weather. Works at the FL Uni for say, 5 years, and retires to... FLORIDA. where he already lives. Summers suck, and it's going under water, but it beats an icy late March and subfreezing weather and brutal humid winters. That's my guess.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

Jesus Christ. These people are as incompetent as they are evil.

DID YOU SEND THAT LETTER TO HARVARD?

While this is obviously a good idea, the fact that they have not up until now had such a "war room" speaks volumes about the ineptitude of the Democratic national party and its leadership.

Imagine: A very sharp realistic photograph of a donkey standing in a skiff. The skiff is floating on a very large and very calm lake. The far shore is not visible in the mist.

I think the humour and playfulness will come to Bluesky - it'll just take time. I also believe that if they took a page from Facebook and allowed arbitrarily long posts, it would help. It's hard to tell an interesting and funny story in so few characters.

Horden: Has the European Union, has China, has India—have these countries reached out?
Bessent: Well, they've all reached out, but it's going to be up to President Trump to see what he wants to do. I-I think the mindset might be to let things settle for a while...

They are idiots.

Riiiiight - throw massive tariffs at a country's exports and expect no retaliation? What in the actual... WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? Really. This is unfathomably stupid.

Thinking about Elon saying Empathy is a weakness. Then I saw how his stock is collapsing, and I felt sad that his electric car company is failing, and then I remembered that empathy is a weakness. So, to hell with Elon, *by his own logic.*

I coulda sworn I was a bus boy there in high school for about a month. It was somewhere on Rte 9 / 35, in New Jersey up in Woodbridge. When fiction is unnervingly real.

Poilievre is cutting off press campaign access because he's afraid. Hard questions make him sad. Mostly it's because he's afraid of being outed as a Russian asset. THAT would explain his entire campaign, as well as his refusal to get a security clearance, insistence on message control, etc.

Stick a fork in it - it's done.
