'Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to...' alone is fucking scandalous.

Oh I guess it's illegal for a man to be a cool boss and have hobbies now?

Keep Android Open Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat." @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

i really dislike the implication that museums, a radical democratization of high art, are actually just diversions for the rich.

He just didn't like Big Little Lies and is making it everyone else's problem

A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

Like 2 FP films behind, I need to catch up.

>we’ve hit the complete chaos, plummeting approval ratings, and endless staff turnover phase of the Trump Presidency

I was winning Ticket to Ride until you finished tallying your points at the end.

There's a decent chance Trump is so far gone into the dementia that he thinks he's back hosting Celebrity Apprentice and has to fire at least one of the D-list celebrities in his orbit at the end of each day.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

I think I only vaguely noticed it was based on a book. And I always have a flash to manifest when I see the lead

Holy sh*t

THIS IS THE KIND OF AD DEMOCRATS NEED TO MAKE!!!

Expose Republicans as the out-of-touch ASSH*LES they are.

SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!!

Trump’s FCC Wants Input on Whether ‘Transgender and Gender Nonbinary’ TV Programming Is ‘Appropriate’ for Children The FCC, led by Trump-appointed chairman Brendan Carr, wants feedback about whether the TV industry's voluntary ratings need to be tweaked -- specifically with regard to how shows with child-friendly ...

Seems bad that the Trump administration is trying to use the FCC to scare media companies into actively avoiding stories related to trans people, tbh.

Senator Hawley wants HHS to study electromagnetic fields and the risk of cancer from exposure.

I don’t even know how to describe the state of science in the US anymore. We may as well be throwing money to find out which spell in the Necronomicon best lowers the risk of famine.

Atlanta is the most surveilled city in the world outside of China. It has a heavily militarized police force, and is also the headquarters of Flock.

Somehow, the perpetrators of two murders in the city's largest park, one in 2021, and the other in broad daylight two weeks ago, are still at large.

It assumes urban areas produce no value

Also the equation of urbanism=consumerism seems flawed, depending on what you mean by consumerism.

Suburban Living the Worst for Carbon Emissions — New Research A new study indicates that people in urban areas, on average, have the smallest carbon footprints, while those living in the suburbs have the highest.

Living in a dense urbanized city is one of the best choices you can make to protect the planet - a fun fact you can deploy against people who want to get all self-righteous about the supposed evils of cities.

Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.

It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.

The key phrase—“an establishment of religion”—was readily understandable to founding-era citizens. See District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 576–77 (2008) (relying on a phrase’s “[n]ormal meaning . . . known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation”). The reason is simple. At the time, establishments were “a familiar institution.” McConnell, Establishment, supra note 12, at 2107.13 Someone on the streets of 1789 Boston, reading that phrase, would have instantly thought of the Church of England, the colonial established churches, or the current state establishments—in other words, a polity’s official church or religion. Ibid.

Although the colonial establishments became more tolerant of dissenters as independence approached, their essence remained unchanged. The original state constitutions reflect as much. Far from rejecting establishments, many states preserved the core components of their establishments, such as public financial support for the official church, regulation of religious institutions, and religious qualifications for civic participation.36 Most explicit was South Carolina, whose 1778 Constitution declared that “the Christian Protestant religion” was “the established religion,” requiring religious societies to subscribe to enumerated articles of faith to receive legal recognition. S.C. Const. of 1778, art. XXXVIII, reprinted in Poore, State Constitutions, supra note 36, at 1626.

The Fifth Circuit flatly states that when the First Amendment says Congress may not create an "establishment of religion," it means the Church of England. They then argue the Founders intended states to have their own churches unaffected by the First Amendment (!!!).
