damn I was looking forward to the asteroid landing directly on my forehead

An entire analysis piece rooted in the (unacknowledged) logic of domestic abuse. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/w...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Elon Musk’s achievements to date in the field of human transportation are: cars that drive themselves off cliffs and rockets that explode mid-flight. Teslas have the worst fatality rate in the auto industry. Commercial aviation is so safe, it averages only one accident per 880,000 flights.

I can't tell you how many people told me it was impossible for Joe Biden to remove one guy running the post office

Person interviewed says they feel helpless, and wonder what congress is doing Well, they literally just came back after a 10 day break. 10 days, staying home. The Dems had 3 months to make a plan, and haven’t. thehill.com/homenews/512...

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

check out that chyron. this is where we're at.

So is Hegseth required to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet or just blow randomly?

All these women who turned in January 6 terrorists are in danger tonight

Hoberman pens the Times obituary for David Lynch (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/m...

In the seven months since June 1, 2024, LA received a total 0.03” of rain. To put that in perspective — that’s about 1% of what the driest city in America gets per year (Yuma, AZ). Yet, network media ignored climate change in coverage of California wildfires. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/network-me...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

Josh Hawley will probably get fewer steps in today than he did 4 years ago.

Jimmy Carter was a man who lived his values, dedicated to peace, service, and making the world a better place. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched. Rest in peace, President Carter.

The funniest thing about this photo is these guys didn’t catch him. McDonalds did.

“Gisèle has waived her right to anonymity, saying she wanted to make "shame swap sides" from the victim to the rapist” We all stand behind Gisèle. I hope this sliver of justice will bring some peace to her and many other women.

"Ethics for thee, not for me" is really a throughline with these folks

Simply incredible

I feel like so much of our politics can be explained by the fact that Daniel Perry is hanging out with Trump and Vance, while the liberal establishment is flummoxed by Luigi Mangione’s appeal.

Daniel Penny acquitted after literally killing someone on camera for being disruptive on the train the same day a person of interest in the shooting of a shitbag healthcare exec gets grabbed pretty succinctly sums up who in this country is allowed to kill and who they’re allowed to kill.

Bashar al-Assad’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

no offense but south korea handled this coup thing all wrong. you're supposed to take some time away for self care, then conduct 149 day-long interviews with a single capitol police officer who was Very Frightened. after that you can kinda just do whatever

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Surreal scenes from Tbilisi as a young brave woman breaks through riot police barrier screaming: “Is it me you are afraid of?!” The Georgian women define bravery. Video via Radio Tavisupleba

Please don't reply to my posts with facts I am trying to be an idiot

Kash Patel should totally wear this outfit on his first day as FBI Director. It will absolutely win him the respect of all the agents.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.

Sri Lanka tried RFK Jr.'s food plan, and it was catastrophic. Productivity plummeted, causing food shortages, skyrocketing prices, lost exports, and an economic collapse. Farmers faced huge losses, forcing the government to reverse the ban and import costly emergency food.

I wish we could all agree on this site to not let it become a ton of ai slop art. I just saw some crappy ai renders and it killed the vibe. TAKE IT BACK TO FACEBOOK.

1) good. 2) just make it free for everyone, I promise you I would rather my taxes go to that than a grant for some South African guy to build rockets while offering his employees his sperm for free

I am a single-issue voter and that issue is "never having to think about or listen to Donald Trump ever again for the rest of my life."

"A major reason that Kamala Harris isn’t 'running away with this' is because an overwhelming majority of white voters don’t find Trump’s malicious nature and fundamental unfitness disqualifying."

This is just very good work
