We got another update on Jonathan Joss’ murder in San Antonio. The SAPD are walkkng back on their statatement that his murder was not a hate crime. I’m glad the attention to this case is forcing the police department to investigate this as what it was. A hate crime. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

And to think, Canada could have been a part of this well-run real grown-up country for the low-low price of $61-billion for a missile defence system that won't work

The New York Times insists on treating Christopher Rufo not as a far-right activist who has been successfully pushing an ideologically defined rightwing agenda, but as a respectable conservative voice and a serious interlocutor on key political issues. That is an active, deliberate choice.

“Bacon, cheese and egg”

No better testimonial than this one on how federal job cuts put lives at risk.

Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

WHAT IS THE CHARGE? EATING A MEAL?! A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL?!

They received presidential pardons for this ‘message’ and it wasn’t seashells on a beach.

Update on phantom TCAS alerts in DC: "…a reliable government source told me the Secret Service had been testing equipment at the Naval Observatory, which is the vice-president’s official residence. 'They didn’t tell anyone or coordinate with anyone,' the source said." nymag.com/intelligence...

41 years ago "Die, Die My Darling" is a song by the American horror punk band Misfits released in May 1984, seven months after the band's breakup #punk #punks #punkrock #horrorpunk #misfits #diediemydarling #history #punkrockhistory

🇺🇦🗣️ Zelensky: This war will end, just as eternal dictatorships fall. Just as any empire built on the principles of war, disrespect for people and their rights, disdain for human life, comes to an end.

Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic. “Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

boosting because good and we need more good

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat

Parents are weeping over the body of their 15-year-old son who was killed as a result of a strike on #Kryvyi Rih. It is also already known that 14 people have died, including 5 children. #Russia hit the center of a residential district in Kryvyi Rih with a ballistic missile. #StopRussia

Bill Burr is a national treasure 🎯! "You journalists need to get your balls back"

once again thinking about Val Kilmer dunking on David Mamet on the commentary track for Spartan: "What I find amazing is his courage, though. I mean, to still wear a beret in 2004."

val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning

One of the first things that I tell survivors of domestic abuse who are concerned about the safety of their devices to do is to check the security of their accounts. Techcrunch has a guide on how to do that.

SitRep - 18/03/25 - Trump spoke to Putin An overview of the daily events in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Trump spoke to Putin, and the latter is reportedly also ready to partially declare a ceasefire. On which terms? We don't know yet. REPOST=appreciated 1/X

dropkick dropped a couple of acoustic albums over the last couple years with woodie guthrie lyrics called "this machine still kills fascists" and "okemah rising" (okemah is Guthrie's hometown) if you ever wondered about their dedication to anti-fascist stuff

Murdered by Russians, 4 years old.

An internal probe by Evraz North America found that employees at a Russian-owned steel plant in Oregon sometimes bypassed a key test meant to ensure that armor for a commonly used U.S. Army vehicle could withstand enemy fire. This took place from 2017 to 2019. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Today marks the 211th anniversary of the birth of poet and artist Taras Shevchenko. Born a serf and only freed at almost 30 years of age, he faced arrest and exile for his groundbreaking works of art that have inarguably shaped the modern Ukrainian identity.

Ukraine has supplied the U.S. with extensive intelligence and vast amounts of data on Russian technology, captured equipment, battlefield operational guides, weapon performance, and countermeasures against US provided systems. A shame no one seems to remembers or appreciates it

So, Trump's brilliant plan for "peace" was to cut off Ukraine’s air defenses so Russians could pour ballistic missiles onto the people of Ukraine until the daily massacres force the survivors to yield to Putin's demands. The Great Dealmaker is merely Putin's whore.

Trying to pressure Zelensky into an apology, knowing he won’t, is just an excuse for the US to shift blame for its own failure to reach a truce with Russia - something that would make Trump look weak. Do you expect Vance to ever treat Netanyahu the same way he did Zelensky?

When I see US officials gaslighting Zelensky, most Ukrainians perceive it as an attack on our Constitution, which only boosts his popularity at home. The level of disinformation from senior U.S. officials reminds me of Colin Powell’s anthrax vial demonstration at the UN

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Neither Trump nor JD Vance has been to Ukraine in the 3 years since Russia launched their full-scale invasion.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

lmao shit is so fucked up

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

today in breaking laws no matter how obscure, ladies and gentlemen, the Goldwater-Nichols Act

Precisely. Authoritarians create loyal cronies through corruption & patronage. That's the plot!
