Congrats to the leakers who talked to the Atlantic; they found a way to keep him busy for days.

Do they have to go to acting school to say this stuff with a serious voice and straight face, or are they so devoid of conscience they think they're actually being reasonable? I don't care how lucrative it is, most of the people I know couldn't possibly sell that nonsense.

Lol. Enjoy!
Anyway, we're so far past worrying about that at this point. They've flooded the world with so much tackiness, yours would look quaint by comparison.

He might have an interest if it can help him figure out who talked to The Atlantic. Can they be subpoenad?

Enbridge wants permits to build a reroute that will cross four streams in Northern WI. This is not only dangerous to the wildlife & water in the area, but they don't even have rights to the property that they'd need in order to apply for the permits. Learn more & let the WI DNR know your thoughts!

If only there were a way to make him believe that the sooner he leaves, the more we'll idolize him.

If this is even true (that site lies), they AIPAC is not getting their money's worth.
As far as I can tell, he's voted against military aid to Israel at least 3 times since Nov 2024.
You should be extra happy with Ossoff, because they're probably pretty pissed at him by now.

Starting to feel very smug about all those seeds I've been too lazy to plant.

Exactly. That's the other reason some people think Republicans don't insult their own--it mostly happens up until the primaries. After that, Republican voters famously fall in line.

...for bullying him back*

Big bully is mad at bigger bully for bullying him.

Or when they're trashing the pope, lol. My my catholic-turned-atheist self would be back in church so fast your head would spin.

The no permission part boggles my mind, US condo-dweller that I am. No hope of getting any relief from those restrictions right now, but fingers crossed for near future when energy prices are out of control.

100%. I don't know why I bother pointing it out (because any excuse to trot out conspiracy theories will do for many people) but Trump being worried about how it looked on TV is perfectly consistent with a malignant narcissist who was also extremely lucky to be only slightly injured.

The notion that an administration that casually posts genocide threats during its illegal wars is worried about national security risks from whistleblowers who expose sexual harassment is absurd.

Read our full statement on the Espionage Act charge against whistleblower Courtney Williams:

DOJ Wants to Scrap Watergate-Era Rule That Makes Presidential Records Public Eliminating the Presidential Records Act would allow private actors to hold the keys to American history, forever.

By declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional, the DOJ is effectively claiming the presidency has private ownership over the American story. It doesn't.

Lauren Harper's latest in @theintercept.com on why the DOJ's history killer memo can't stand:

They are morally bankrupt propagandists who might accidentally turn out to be right, and if they do, we are in a whole heap of trouble.

How tremendously? Like are we getting into the territory of 90s era cell phones?

The tech companies seem to have decided long ago that sleek and attractive are more important than useful and easy to fix. Once again, marketing rules the world.

Nor even be able to pronounce most of it.

At least a lightning bolt close enough to make the point or something. Their vengeful, Old Testament God is definitely not on his mark these days.

That should be… Interesting.

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

True to my cheapskate nature, I bought a phone with a lightning charger in 2023, and it's already hard to get decent charging wires for it anymore. But I will hold off replacing the phone until it irritates me in bigger ways than that.

Yes! Instead of defaulting to stupid old stereotypes of inefficient and persnickety petty tyrants who couldn't make it in "real business," as though that type doesn't exist in corporations everywhere.

It could be universal if all the mechanisms meant to make it available and affordable hadn't been sabotaged or outright dumped by Republicans.

"A Democrat" not "the Democrats" Stop conflating a rogue congressman with the entire party (and yes, there are probably a few more who might have voted like Golden if their constituents weren't pressing them. Still not anything like a majority of the party).
