Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

One of the (many) sad things about the state of the games industry in 2025 is seeing people desperately keen for remake announcements. You've already played it! Have that same desk-hammering excitement for new IPs, and games with fresh mechanics that drive us forwards! That should be demand #1!

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

The entire Republican Party has lined up solidly behind a would-be fascist dictator with a narcissistic psychopathic personality disorder. But the real problem is that Democrats spent too long backing a president who often looked and sounded old.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

this is not true either legally or in a colloquial sense, but an NYT reporter says it like he's telling you the weather.

True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Does anyone know if the Easter bunny saw their shadow, indicating two more weeks of Lent?

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

I think I’d take a lifelong vow of silence if ever I was this wrong, this loudly, over something this clear

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Historians of white supremacy passing the flame to historians of the Great Depression in the world's saddest Olympic torch relay.

NEW on CNN: As the White House says SignalGate "case has been closed" we ran through comments of all the top DOJ/FBI officials Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Ed Martin. All called for length prison sentences for mishandling classified information. www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/p...

The line about campus police not "enforcing immigration law" is pretty annoying because ICE isn't enforcing the law either, marco rubio is just arbitrarily voiding people's visas and/or green cards and claiming that means they can throw you in jail without due process

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

You’d think I’d be at least conversational at this point…

Im just annoyed because so many of the same people demanding that Obama/Kamala "do something" were the same folks who accused them of fear mongering by telling people exactly that would happen if Trump won.

Everyone involved in this atrocity down to the individual ICE agents is a criminal and must face justice.

holy shit -- Trump was reading from a literal Tesla sales pitch, complete with pricing, during his White House event with Elon Musk. (Andrew Harnik/Getty)

MAGA 2017: "Trump-Russia is a hoax and a slur." MAGA 2025: "Trump-Russia is the basis for our foreign policy and anybody who doesn't agree should be primaried out of the party."

“Frightened for the safety of their families.” America, 2025.

Reminder that the literal Founders of the nation debated this and decided not to do it.

Crockett: "This is nothing more than another payday for Elon Musk bc we know that if there is any govt welfare to be handed out, it is consistently being handed out to Elon Musk, who stopped all the money to USAID while at the same time deciding that he would get another contract for over $300m."

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

“Audacious”? Truly disgusting.

YES! Chuck, where do you live? Can you call your Senator?
