I said to my wife that we got our solar panels at just the right time.

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

when Nickelodeon bought the building next door and expanded the studio in Burbank, they placed quotes from former creators around the campus.

This one from my all time favorite Nick show The Adventures of Pete and Pete is like the blueprint I strive for in my own writing.

The media always treats the more sensational Trump accusations in the Epstein files with a level of skepticism that would be appropriate for Jimmy Carter, not the guy who bragged about sexual assault on tape, was adjudicated guilty of sexual assault, and is currently overseeing murder dot gov.

Maria Bartiromo has always been. . . unintelligent.

Probably because they don't have the metrics to show.

Raffi, I certainly believe there wasn't an interaction BEFORE the partnership was signed. When I was on the trademark committee at the NYC Bar Association, all the in-house colleagues would complain about the companies acting THEN asking legal.

Vance Puts MAGA Ideology Above All Else For the vice president, even white nationalists who target his Indian American wife don't merit disavowal

"Vance now spends every day of his life agitating for a society that sees the people he loves most in the world as undesirable foreigners who should be forcibly deported."

The most amazing thing about the latest GOP Nazi group chat story is that the ending is *exactly the same* as the ending of a different story by a different publication about an entirely different GOP Nazi group chat!

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

Every fascist movement despises ethics and accountability. This is one reason why Nuremberg type trials for the fascist leaders are so imposrtant

Man is arrested in Greenville, Miss. for allegedly stealing a car. Investigators search his phone sans warrant, discover evidence of purchases with a stolen debit card 150 miles away in Southaven. They call the Southaven police and share the information, saying they had a warrant for the search. Southaven police arrest him based on the info. Once charges are dropped, he sues. Fifth Circuit: Qualified immunity. It was clearly established at the time that a Fourth Amendment search occurs when an officer looks at material from a phone, but there’s no case about second-hand viewings of material from a phone.

People sometimes ask why I left Twitter for Bluesky but earlier I posted here about being HIV+ for thirty years and none of the replies have told me I deserved it, I should have died, and angrily denounced how much it cost to develop the medication that kept me alive
