Bands should have to start their shows when they say they will. It should be the law

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Even in live action movies, the cars should have faces and be able to talk. This is the key thing that the film cars gets right.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a β€œweapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

β€œFour of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. β€œI looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Spielberg outbid Tim Burton for the rights to Lincoln. Burton wanted to cast Johnny Depp as a gothic top-hat-wearing freak. Supposedly was going to be very twisted.

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

Amazing. Cannot overstate how impressive this is, especially on a day where the HIGH is -8Β°F. These people are putting themselves in danger for this.

Despite Drastic Financial Steps, Met Opera Turns to Layoffs and Cuts

America’s premier opera company is in trouble. Very sad to read about.

I only became interested in opera a few years ago, but it has quickly become basically my favorite form of music. Going to the opera is such a fun experience. Everyone should give it a shot. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/a...

They’re called β€œkitchen table issues” because every evening we sit down to break bread with our loved ones and have a 45 minute conversation about the price of milk. Then for dessert we toss a football around the table while talking about gas prices as John Mellencamp plays in the background.

Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: β€˜She’s never gonna see him’ The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Do you think the Slack app is going to change its icon to the colors of the Venezuelan flag in support of that country’s people being unjustly attacked by a rogue country, like they did for Ukraine?

Linux is super easy. Badass customizations have a learning curve for sure, but installing Ubuntu is very easy and it’s a really usable distro (though other distros are great too)
