Rejoicing in Budapest.
New life goal: live in a way that hundreds of thousands of people don’t mob the streets, singing, in celebration of your downfall.
Lord Crude Brent, the Baron David of Wernham-Hogg, Lord of the Office, plotting world dominion from Castle Slough. Tell me where I’m wrong.

And that is why I subscribe to Le Monde. No BS. No punches pulled. No games.
"Human beings are like parts of a body, created from the same essence. When one part is hurt and in pain, others cannot remain in peace and quiet. If the misery of others leaves you indifferent and with no feeling of sorrow, then you cannot be called a human being." - Persian poet Saadi Shirazi

Congress can’t invoke the 25th. But you can impeach him. For the love of all of humanity, please do so, before it’s too late.

I’ll see what I can do… ;)
Normally I wouldn’t think that history night would be an AA franchise theme night, but it’s the Patriots and this is the 250th… hmmmmmm…..!!!!!!
Sad. To think all of this is happening now because trump wanted a distraction.

A mugshot registration photograph from Auschwitz. A man with a shaved head wearing a striped uniform photographed in three positions (profile and front with bare head and a photo with a slightly turned head with a hat on). The prisoner number is visible on a marking board on the left.

Are you too afraid to mention it’s RUSSIA WHO BOMBED IT, UNESCO ?
Mullin is so clearly unqualified to run DHS that any senator who votes to put this man in charge of any federal agency, let alone DHS, is announcing their own disqualification for office.
More like “allowed to retire instead of facing charges.” Embarrassment in aisle 7, cleanup needed!
Hate leads to the murder of innocents. This face - and so many millions like him - are why we have to defeat antisemitism and every other form of hate before it takes hold. Never again means now.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
I have noticed that polarization, too, but I hope that the board knows what it has it mind as a replacement. The NY Times article said they wanted innovation - but that is often easier to say than to define. Nelsons had a busy schedule, but the best are always in demand.
His Shostakovich cycle with the BSO quickly became my favorite. Sheer brilliance. And all we get is “not aligned with future direction” or some such corporate-sounding nonsense. WTH is the board up to? Who do they have in mind who is better?
Screenshot of an X post by Rapid Response 47 quoting Secretary Rubio saying the president made a wise decision based on expectations of Israeli action and possible retaliation against American forces. Below is a Fox News video still showing Marco Rubio speaking to reporters near a staircase, with microphones in front of him and a “LIVE” graphic.
Read this carefully and assess who is really calling the shots.
Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.
Honestly a more impressive move would have been covering the missed income of transgender drivers now out of a job
Welp
Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe.
The cruelty is endless.
The screenshot of the release notes reads: A new version of TeX Live Utility is available! TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now? Release Notes: Changes Since 1.54 • Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book. • First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software. • Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date. • Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date. • Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database. Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144. • Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models. • Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.
There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.
Genocide, or at least the attempt. I read an article a couple of weeks ago that said what is being done to trans people looks like the early stages of genocide.
