The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Artificial intelligence intelligence is clearly the next and most worthwhile pursuit.

With regard to our berobed and beshitted Justice Alito:

If the Founders had no capacity to conceive of illegal immigration, then they also had not the imagination to conceptualize automatic weapons.

Originalism is and always was a pathetic, desperate lie of miserable, ideological shitheels.

Well, can’t say I’m surprised

With apologies to Thoreau, our president is leading a life of noisy masturbation. And the enablers who surround him supply the porn in two-minute increments so as not to tax his limited capacities. Meanwhile, the Iranians have porn of their own:

DOJ used to put these on the walls of post offices.
