Not sure why outlets are framing Kristi Noem incorrectly saying what habeas corpus is as a "misstate" or her not knowing. She has a degree in political science, which 100% touched on this at one point. She was also a US representative and Governor. It's that she doesn't care.

CNN: yeah this doesn’t make sense but *waves shiny keys* have you heard Jake Tapper has a book on Joe Biden?

Rest easy George Wendt and thank you for what you did

Would like to note that NIH director Bhattacharya cited polling in regards to the whole "lab leak" conspiracy. Yeah, that's because of the right-wing media they're fed which is based on lies and grifting. Beliefs are not a justification for many things, especially when they're based on lies.

Thought it was "my body my choice" to them when it comes to vaccines and masks but not when it comes to reproductive rights?

Chicago Sun-Times Prints AI-Generated Summer Reading List With Books That Don't Exist 🔗 www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

I'll be honest never thought I'd see the day especially since he wanted it to stay in Chicago as long as it was possible. Hilarious the first comment when trying to find TK saying that says "give me Toronto you coward"

Jake Tapper could be a real journalist instead of peddling a book and illuminate that there was no way Trump would win in civil court.

Bhattacharya citing polling to indirectly defend the conspiracy theory of lab leak while not understanding redlining is systemic racism? Yeah NIH is in deep trouble with this guy in charge. Naturally, that means we're in deep trouble.

That's because the first post from Sunday was written by a staff member. It didn't have weird punctuation and was coherent. Hope this helps, NPR.

I'm sure Chuck Schumer has a strongly worded letter about to drop.

It's a good time to be a Cubs fan rn

What's worse is that they're wrecking their news over a potential merger with Skydance...again, Skydance. Really hope this doesn't mean some bullshit with Star Trek moving forward too.

My "I'm not Gestapo" t-shirt has people asking questions already answered by the shirt

I was in the mood to watch Escape from New York, and it's on Amazon Prime. I pay for ad-free Prime Video (which I hate to begin with), so why the hell is this movie only available with ads? Jeff Bezos you con artist.

Tech bros really do try to reinvent stuff that already exists but make it worse. Because why is Uber creating a shittier version of “the bus?”

I've seen Bloodsport a ton of times and this is the first time it registered a cat meowing during the fight scenes. I genuinely thought I was hearing things. It's annoying as hell and I enjoy this movie even if Frank Dux was full of shit in real life

Omg this toy in Doom Dark Ages is awesome I need it in real life with the og Doom music and spinning shield #Doom #gaming

With it being close to summer, it's time to watch one of my favorites Summer Rental with John Candy (also gonna post trailers for old movies from now on instead of posters)

For the uninitiated on what I'm referring to #Smackdown

Gonna need John Cena to light up a cigarette next week #Smackdown

JD Vance is going to meet Da Chicago Pope??? Put that man in a protective bubble

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson really pulling in some favors from other media to help drive sales for their book on an issue a lot of people couldn't care less about given the current President.

WE GOT DEMON KAIJU IN THIS MF #DoomDarkAges

If AI slop is the wave of movies and media moving forward, I'm so glad there's older shit that exists.

Unless you've already seen this, you have zero clue what this is about. There's no way you can guess.

A good way to get ratio'd on here is to talk shit about the cowboy millennial former English teacher Hangman Adam Page. Tell me how that works out for you lol

Now out in APSR from Campos and Federico (2025), "A New Measure of Affective Polarization." (1/2)

Kat is literally one of a handful to post financial disclosures up like this where everyone can see it. Most just keep it obscure.

mf talks like Abraham Simpson and puts an onion on his belt which was the style at the time

We seriously have Air Traffic Controllers pulling Die Hard 2 shit to contact pilots. The hell are we doing here.

Oh please. Let's do. 67% are volunteers and only 9% of all departments in the US are careerists. Half are over 40 and only 6 out of every 1000 volunteer. Rural areas depend on volunteers and those places may or may not get funding from the state. It's a big problem.

Taz's words for Sabu. Man :(
