Kash Patel getting scrutinized for being an erratic, incompetent drunk instead of Pete Hegseth getting scrutinized for being an erratic, incompetent drunk sounds about white.

This isn't accidental oversight by our media. It's malicious complicity.

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli goal is genocide. 80% of Israelis support what they are doing. It’s just murder, murder, murder.

Shun them. Shun them forever.

‘An incalculable loss’: Hampshire College to close doors after fall semester Massachusetts liberal arts college laments ‘heartbreaking reality’ and says financial pressures to blame

Hampshire College alum and film-maker Ken Burns...“Hampshire College is woven into the very fabric of who I am. It’s where I learned that there is freedom in searching, and even in failure … This is an incalculable loss, the reverberations of which will be felt in ways none of us can imagine...”

Still really glad I bought a used Chevy Bolt in August 2024. Affordable EVs are a big part of the solution.

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Boycott Israel. Boycott all Israeli products. Cease all investment in Israel, on all levels (personal, business, city, state, federal). This is a genocidal state, a genocidal, racist, apartheid culture.

Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor penguins at risk of extinction Record low levels of Antarctic sea ice is having grim consequences for penguins yet to grow waterproof feathers

Maybe it’s time to act on climate?

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

Black and while graphic that reads "IMPEACH TRUMP AGAIN", where a silhouette of the president giving a thumbs up is showcased Below in an orange box, it reads: TELL CONGRESS TO DO THEIR JOB: 202-224-3121

Call Congress and tell them to do their job:

202-224-3121

Ted has calluses on his nose. 👃

I love radio, and audio in general. When certain audiographers switched into videography, I stopped following them. It wasn’t even a conscious decision. If you are a writer, then write. If you must do video anyway, put limits on it—5% of your day. Like an artist with a limited palette.

Absolutely INSANE twilight aurora just now from my driveway in North Pole, Alaska. Incredible motion and color, one of the best of the season. Watch until the end, wow!

Fooled you once, fooled you twice, fooled you every goddam time you stupid bonehead markets:

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

First images from those meetings

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

Israeli police kill two young Palestinian boys and their parents in West Bank Mother, father and brothers aged five and seven shot in the head as they returned from Ramadan shopping trip

“Asked what threat was posed by four young children and their unarmed parents, or whether the shooting violated Israeli rules of engagement, the police and military declined to comment.”

Good time for a general strike, impeachment, prosecution.

Entire families wiped out and towns emptied as Israel’s war on Lebanon intensifies Communities displaced and destroyed while death toll rises faster than during any previous war in Lebanon

“the sidewalk in front of him exploded in the early hours of Thursday morning. He screamed at his children to stay in the tent, watching as a man writhed and reached for his legs, which were lying some distance away. A second Israeli drone strike moments later killed the man and 11 others.”

Spain MEP Irene Montero: “Send your son, Donald Trump — If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters, & our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war — those who want war should send their own children”

I’d only add that Trump’s accusations aren’t only what he would do, but what he has done already. Mortgage fraud being one example…
