"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."

There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump.

– Overall: 33-67
– Immigration: 40-59
– Iran: 32-67
– Economy: 30-70
– Cost of living: 23(!)-76

37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living.

That's scary. Hope it never happens again. Not a vet just FYI as our pup had seizures. 1st vet wanted phenobarbital right away, which is effective, but has side-effects (we said no). We tried zonisimide to little effect but when the new vet paired that with Keppra it worked a charm: 10yrs ok.

Well done! Thanks.

And it's a bit early.

Hope so because I like it, just wasn't in any of the usual places.

Not seeing this posted anywhere else?

Impressive gravitational display. Or incredible roux.

What a beauty!

This is one iota of self-awareness away from a New York Times Pitchbot post.

Very crafty shot late too. Hit the side netting alas but the space was there. Keeper had stepped up a bit too far.

The guys looked absolutely exhausted to me and they did it. Maybe the stats don't bear this out but the kinds of passes we were missing and little mistakes—we weren't doing those anywhere near as much in October.

This is the actual statement and it differs from what the NYT paraphrased. "Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs." It was posted on the bad place and so I'm not linking it.

I was in the kitchen of a Hungarian grandma once washing dishes after lunch and I accidentally broke a glass in the sink and said sorry. She replied, "Meg is veszet Mohacsnal" [We lost more at Mohacs].

This was ~460 years after the fact.

Hungary’s Orban, Beacon to the Right, Concedes Election Defeat

Break out the palinka, people. A smashing victory. What a day.

I was listening to the intro of Adam Becker's new podcast and he was talking about his recent book on the pathology of the tech bros, More Everything Forever, and he called them "These Fucking People," to himself while writing it, which is what he wanted to title the book.

Zeno’s arrow.

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization A new analysis commissioned by The New York Times suggests that Google's AI Overviews are wrong an astonishing percentage of the time.

This is catastrophic.

Oh the irony of Kline's article appearing in October.

Right? The Dem still won by 44 points and there were fewer than 700 votes cast in the county. Maybe a stomach flu tore through the Montessori school yesterday?

DECISION WISCONSIN: Waukesha has a new mayor, Common Council President Alicia Halvensleben WAUKESHA, Wis.-- Common Council President Alicia Halvensleben will serve as Waukesha's next mayor. The city of Waukesha held its first open-seat mayoral

Democrat wins by 4 in the city of Waukesha.

Waukesha, people.

"Allen has been one of the most conservative Republicans in the Legislature since his election 2014. Halvensleben was the preferred candidate of the Waukesha County Democratic Party."

Really encouraging to hear. Bookshop has been our go-to since they opened.

GENGHIS BLUES (OFFICIAL TRAILER) YouTube video by Wadi Rum Films

If you haven't seen it you might like Genghis Blues. Also an usual case where the film is more exciting than the trailer.

Amy Walter is a proto-Republican establishment drip and no Democrat should be listening to her under any circumstances.

"Death recorded."

Cowardice of the first order as well on the part of the Rs. I kept thinking there might be a tipping point towards sanity or at least political survival for them but we're past war crimes (numerous) on the verge of nukes and there's no sign of it so that's that I guess.
