A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed. The suspect had a hit list. And what did we do? We blamed each other. We justified. We spun. Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/political-...

I don't want to see or hear another goddamned useless Democrat on some talking head show complaining about Trump. Might as well ask my left bollock about the capital gains tax, for all the good it will do. I will care what Democrats think the day one of them does something that matters.

Uriah Rennie, the Premier League's first Black referee, has sadly died aged 65. A trailblazer who broke down barriers, faced down football's fiercest competitors and took no nonsense. Went on to ref 175 PL games, after floodlight failure forced him to abandon his first. RIP 🖤

Went to a tech meetup today and after having what I thought was a good conversation this dude legit said "Is it ok if I excuse myself from this conversation". Bro just tell me to fuck off at least you won't have to be flowery with your words.

Wait ... You're telling me that we're happier if we don't travel four unpaid hours each day in traffic, to sit in a cubicle to justify middle management, only to be discarded when some exec determines they need a quarterly bump in profits? Amazing. 🙄 farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...
