I got nothing. I'm simply aghast.

This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

Bought one of those for my dad for Christmas a couple years back! As both a Midwesterner and a train guy, he appreciated it.

It should be noted that Bovino is actually describing mass ethnic cleansing, not mass deportations.

Hmmm, I wonder if that’s the reason it took her three months to drop my charges? Nah, couldn’t be. Just because people have a D next to their names does not mean they are committed to the same things as you. They will sell you out unless we make them pay a political price for doing so.

You have got to be kidding me, man. What bizarro definition of "progressive" are you working from?

A drunk off duty cop fired his gun at a Sox game & the Sox/police covered it up because they cover up all crimes committed by cops.

Soaring in the City at Sunrise. Today in Chicago.

Democrats Once Loathed Gerrymandering. Now They’re Pushing for It.

The words "North Carolina," and "Missouri" do not appear in this piece of shit article.

Neither does the word "decade."

"Florida" and "Texas" appear in subordinate clauses, after words like "After Virginia ..." and "Gov. Gavin Newsom of California framed ..."

taking this one to the waffle house

More people really need to understand what mission creep is and how the language of criminality will apply to literally everyone an authoritarian government deems fit.

I worked on A/R with DHS around building damage assessment for FEMA. We anxiously discussed how the technology could be misused more than a decade ago. Those fears have come to pass.

Tossing teenagers in prison because the government failed to regulate corporate America's faulty and dangerous products is not a new practice, but we don't have to keep expanding it.

does “the CIA specifically/US govt generally encouraged cocaine trafficking by allied Latin American militias and saw the resulting ‘war on drugs’ as a convenient way to militarize city police forces for domestic suppression” even count as a “conspiracy theory” anymore?

Aliens exist & the government doesn't want us to know about them...because they're communist.

Biden would not have won in 2020 without the "defund the police" and Black Lives Matter movement.

You. Have. To. Give. Voters. Something. To. Vote. For.

Yelling. At. Them. That. This. Is. All. Their. Fault. And. That. They. Owe. You. Their. Vote. Will. Not. Motivate. People. Who. Sat. Out.

You. Need. To. Incentivize. Them.

Reminder that most people who didn't vote in 2024 didn't do so out of a desire to "smash Democrats," so maybe it's really stupid to constantly attack people who didn't vote and constantly smear them. Just a thought! www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

I take Amtrak regularly (I've only flown once in 10yrs) and I usually arrive 2 hours ahead of departure. I don't love hanging out at the station, but I do like being able to grab something to eat and get an early spot in line so I can get a seat I want.

"There is no Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Steve Bannon, or Trump Organization in an era where white collar crime is prosecuted with anything close to the vigor of the lowest-level drug cases in a major US city."

It remains notable that The Onion — The Onion! — has had a stronger moral compass and more clear set of values in this moment than nearly every powerful and well-funded institution in American life.

One of my thoughts on 4/20 is that the general cultural mode of a guy who likes drugs has moved from a kind of hippy let’s all get along sort of guy to a “I am better than you because I do drugs and have become the ubermensch” sort of guy and it’s been a pretty big catastrophe for the human race

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

This is also the kind of thing that mission creep comes for very quickly. Yes, the initial rollout is limited to 100 devices & is just a USB drive. V2 will be connected & take care of uploading so you don't have to. You can also bet the TOS will change for uploads so these can be used for anything

Not really sure how one has an "authentic" conversation with a branded microphone sitting in the middle of the dinner table and a branded pack of cards with conversation starters.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

SAME!

Oh, a lesson in not changing history
from Mr. "I'm My Own Grandpa."

Doesn’t anyone who he listens to realize how much like Russell Brand’s post accusation this tactic seems like? Dude covered up a murder and so he’s pivoting to cultural conservatism to regain “honest truth teller” status when his legacy will always be that he lied about Laquan McDonald.

A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.

A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…
