Wait, did I just read that right? Iran had a missile hit a hospital and the Israelis called it a war crime? Tell me, how many hospitals in Gaza has Israel hit again? So they now admit hitting hospitals is a war crime?

It really gets my goat every time the Times Union refers to the Empire Center as "nonpartisan." www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti... They are the epitome of partisan, and they are funded and exist specifically to create conservative propaganda, not to do legitimate research.

It really annoys the shit out of me that the media is completely ignoring that the entire Iran-Israel mess is Trump's fault because he backed out of the deal Obama struck just because he's a douchebag.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

It'll be hilarious if the Musk/Trump fight results in Trump getting angry enough to do something accidentally right as retaliation on Musk - like raising taxes on billionaires or something. Let's face it - he is THAT petty that something like that is plausible.

I always find it interesting that those that spend millions lobbying to pay less in taxes (billionaires) also get alarmed about the national debt. Like hello, pay more in taxes and fix the issue, you halfwits! www.cnn.com/2025/06/03/b...

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

Liz Joy is one of the cavalcade of crazies that makes up the MAGA core, so it's hilarious that Stefanik wants all these county chairs gone over their support of Joy in the potential primary. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

As far as the NJ Transit strike - if those guys haven't had a raise in 5 years, that is the ENTIRE time we have faced ridiculous inflation. You can't blame them for striking over that. The State of NJ should be ashamed.

Comparing a jet that will only ever be used by Trump to France gifting the nation the Statue of Liberty is an absolute "let's throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" take. If you seriously don't see the difference, you're either purposely obtuse or an idiot.

Capital District oddities: People who live barely inside the Blue Line in an area nowhere near mountains saying "I live in the Adirondacks." No flatlander, you don't.

Thought: if you are a male who has ever been in a crowded bar, where women willingly go into a men's bathroom because the womens room line was too long for them, you know the whole "don't let trans kids into the bathroom they identify with" crap is bullshit.

Suits LA was slow to start off, but has gotten much better. It's a shame people didn't stick with it and it got cancelled. A second season would have been promising IMO.

PeopleSoft is a horrible platform, and Accenture is definitely not a top tier consulting firm, so those were mistaken on OSCs part. That being said, Retirements costs are not on the taxpayers dime - they are billed to the pension trust fund.

As a perfect illustration of just how fucking bad Ticketmaster has become, a David Lee Roth show I was interested in sold out almost immediately today and then had most of the tickets show up as "Verified Resale." Concerts are fucking insane now. Even ones for has beens. This is nuts.

Apparently being an alcoholic Fox News host is high on the list of qualifications to get hired by the Trump administration.

It would be wonderful if we saw some white smoke from the chimney right now so all the news networks would cut away from Mango Mussolini. That would really piss him off. #conclave

Why does the press handle Trump's stream-of-consciousness proclamations to be serious? When he on-the-fly says something insane like "Maybe I should reopen Alcatraz", just pretend he didn't say it and he wasn't serious so we don't waste tax dollars on a crazy old man's delusional momentary whims.

So Mango Mussolini is going to throw a $45 million dollar parade for his birthday on the taxpayer dime? Where is DOGE? We know where DOGE is - using "efficiency" as an excuse to implement right wing policy while doing nothing to actually ensure efficiency.

While I'm not one to normally defend Amazon, how it is a "hostile political act" to simply inform consumers how much in taxes they are paying for an item? Sales tax has long been listed separately. These people are fucking nuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/white-...

I have made this argument to centrist Democrats for years. This is why we lose to Republicans so fucking always, and the "No we can't!" style of centrists stuck in their bullshit incrementalist beliefs are the reason why. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...
