Breakfast buffet is busy

Why has it taken me thirty years to discover 400 thread count cotton bedding?

Ho ho ho! 🎅🏼

The way I now see batshit insane headlines and go “…yeah ok that tracks”

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

A car bomb in Moscow has killed the Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Major General Yaroslava Moskalik. Big target.

No more LGBT-free zones in Poland! Today, after 6 years of existence, the last resolution was repealed.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Opinion: The US does not have the aid, the technology or the market access to exert control over global trade the way it once did, and Trump’s erratic behaviour is rapidly increasing the probability that it never will www.ft.com/content/c2eb...

NEW: The Trump administration must attempt to return a second wrongly deported man from El Salvador, a judge — appointed by Trump — ruled late last night. The 20-year-old was deported as an “alien enemy” last month despite a pending asylum claim. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

I know everyone's going to love this and I don't want to spoil the fun but it's illiberal. I'm sorry. I know. But it is. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Government launches plans to automatically combine small pension pots, here's what it's likely to mean for you... www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/04...

THEY. ARE. CHILDREN. Which, by legal definition, means minors who cannot represent themselves in court. THIS. SHIT. IS. ILLEGAL.

"The real reason for (Sen. Renee Erickson's) delay became clear: the portal was a repository for criticism of the supermajority’s legislative agenda, and it was in the supermajority’s interest to keep that fact from the public for as long as possible" #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/04/23/k...

18% of US adults between the ages of 25 and 34 live in a parent's home, but there's a lot of variation at the metro level, from 3% in Odessa, TX, to 33% in Vallejo, CA. New @pewresearch.org analysis has data for 258 metro areas: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

The co-founder of Instagram Kevin Systrom testified on Tuesday in a landmark federal antitrust trial that his startup was starved of resources after Meta bought it because Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive, was afraid of the success of the photo-sharing app.

They scream about Socialism while their roads, hospitals, and schools are basically on a Federal IV drip.

This ultra-small generator is designed to harness energy from even the smallest rivers, like those flowing through urban areas between homes. It can power street lights, offering a sustainable solution for remote or urban communities to generate their own electricity.

UK government borrowing, the difference between spending and income from taxes, was £151.9bn in the year to March, up £20.7bn from the year before www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

China’s reaction to the US Tariffs

I did not have Gustavo Dudamel/LA Philharmonic/Cynthia Erivo/Purple Rain on my Coachella 2025 Bingo card But thankful it happened

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Nearly 10 years ago, Brexiteers said that you would eventually find nobody who admitted to voting Remain.

Hegseth has just spoken about this. He didn’t deny any of the allegations. Instead, typically and predictably, he blamed the media. Pathetic stuff.

The FBI director flew this government plane (or one just like it), possibly from Las Vegas, where he still lives, to see a hockey game in Long Island. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

It can be true that both tariffs are bad and denying due process is also bad

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

200 years ago, France extorted Haiti in one of history’s greatest heists – and Haitians want reparations theconversation.com/200-years-ag...

Garda response to Conor McGregor's bizarre rant about the Traffic Corps

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Tory legacy. In England 48,830 A&E patients waited 24 hours or more for a hospital bed, 33,413 aged 65 or over. Some went 10 days to get bed in a ward. People deserve care and dignity. Must expand NHS capacity. Privatisation won't. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profit, money buys less.

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

I find it tragically amusing that SCOTUS is now trying to rein in the immune king they created.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

The interesting thing is that according to our own Justice Department, MS-13 began restricting tattoos (c. 2015) on its members precisely bc law enforcement was using them to ID them. Members have to get permission, which means fewer people would have them over last decade

Before I go into today's dystopian nightmare, let's take a minute to bring down your blood pressure. Here is one of my favorite creatures, the #RedPanda. Enjoy. #nature #animals

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Tariffs ignore the reality of global tech supply chains Who would have guessed www.ft.com/content/6a37...
