I never watched it. I often have not enjoyed/bothered with popular shows and by the early 2000s I stopped watching TV altogether. 🤷

A feeble amount of research via a less than desirable search engine named google says that this 🙏is used as "high five".

Bluesky also offers this ✋ as a "high five" and I find it much closer in meaning than the other.

Bolloré's takeover of Grasset: 'Bookshops now serve as sentinels of resistance to the radical rightward shift of society' Christian Thorel, a prominent figure in independent book selling, was among the first to sound the alarm about billionaire Vincent Bolloré's ideological grip on the publishing sector, starting with th...

Fascinating interview with a French bookseller about the radical rightward shift being engineered in French publishing and book selling by billionaire ideologues. We have no counterparts to this type of merchant intellectual.

Un peu niche peut-être, mais quand même…

"The Republicans entered these midterms under the rather childish delusion that they were going to gerrymander everybody else, and nobody was going to gerrymander them... They sowed the wind, and now, they are going reap the whirlwind."

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

The "public comments at the hearing before the vote left little doubt that Monterey Park residents overwhelmingly disdained not only the prospect of a massive, noisy, and polluting infrastructure project being erected in their backyards, but who that project would benefit, at their expense.”

Tucker Carlson is a bad-faith actor and a traitor who played a significant role in Donald Trump getting elected and who never acts in the interests of the United States.

He should be ignored, if not jailed

I recall years ago of trump complaining about laws prohibiting bribery, that he really felt that was a natural part of doing business (or anything else).
trump hasn't changed significantly in his lifetime, but MSM failed to inform people how seriously dangerous it would be to elect the criminal.

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

Atlantic currents aren’t some distant risk.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is already weakening, and if it tips, the consequences are real: a colder Europe, disrupted food systems, frozen ports, energy shortages.

This isn’t a 2100 problem.

It’s happening now. 😔

🚨🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump folds and says U.S. will delay potential attacks on Iran after request from Pakistani leaders, and says he is extending the ceasefire pending a “unified proposal” from Iranian leadership.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Wildlife and humans thriving in Unesco-protected sites While wildlife populations crash globally, research finds designated areas enable recovery of threatened species Wildlife and humans are thriving within sites recognised by Unesco, research has found, allowing for the recovery of threatened species and habitats around the world. While wildlife populations have crashed globally by nearly three-quarters since 1970, those within Unesco-protected areas have remained largely stable. Continue reading...

The SAVE Act Will End Voting Rights for Women in America The SAVE Act has passed the House—we cannot let it pass the Senate

BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.

I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...

FBI Director Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for $250 million over story on alleged drinking, absences FBI Director Kash Patel filed a defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, saying a recent story about his alleged frequent drinking and absences included "false and obviously fabricated" claims.

Kash Patel tries to save his job by emulating Trump in every way.

Spend more time targeting perceived enemies than doing your job.

Criticize the media for doing theirs.

And, when in doubt — try to cash in.

TAT: [Suppressing dissent | Undermining democracy]

Watching Sen. Warren questioning Trump's Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh. In response to if he disagrees with Trump on anything Warsh gives a cutsie answer about not being "central casting". What a jerk.

www.c-span.org/event/senate...

Warsh should NOT be confirmed as Fed Chair:

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

Sen. Warren calls out Trump for trying to tear down the Fed's independence — claiming he's doing so because "he wants the Fed to use monetary policies to artificially juice the economy in the short term" before the midterms.

She says Fed pick Kevin Warsh "is uniquely ill-suited for the job."

WARREN: Name one aspect of President Trump's economic agenda with which you disagree

KEVIN WARSH: He said he thought I'm out of central casting. I think I'd look older, grayer, and maybe show up with a cigar

WARREN: Quite adorable
