Seems like it might be bad for the drugged up nazi who runs the company that made your car to be able to stop you from driving somewhere.

Anywhere really,whatever strikes him in the moment and you can't get there.

Paramount's Takeover of Warner Bros Is Turning Into an International Crisis Going to war with Iran has suddenly brought China back into the mix on the sale.

the "The Saudis and Chinese are buying up our media companies and sending american kids to die in trump's war while you overpay for gasoline" dem messaging writes itself but they'll still find a way to fuck it up

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

"The Wall Street Journal found that the Department of Homeland Security, created in 2002 to protect Americans, has turned its force against citizens."

Top Trump officials rush to purchase nuclear war-proof bunkers after Iran attack: report Since President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attack on Iran last week, at least two top Trump administration officials have raced to purchase their own survival shelters designed to withstand an apoca...

A dude in Texas who makes bomb shelters for nuclear war has seen his business skyrocket this week.

Recent clients include 2 Trump admin members, and the rest were almost all β€œChristian, conservative CEOs,” which included β€œseveral of the wealthiest men on the planet."

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

they're not going to do this and don't need it, but as the white house's politics advisor, i am going to loudly insist that they keep repeating it

speaking of which, why none of you told me this is how we’re supposed to pronounce β€œmicrowave?”

Frustrating because I honestly think Louisville is a more talented team but duke played harder and smarter.

Duke has seemingly gotten every loose ball and had almost all of the hustle plays and it's wild to see a Louisville women's team get repeatedly beaten like that.

Welp maybe they'll learn how to finish some time... But apparently it's going to have to be another game.

I mean Duke clearly fouled but it's Duke so they're not going to call it

Should have called timeout Jeff

I wonder if there's something special in the water that makes it so Duke players never foul.

4 qtr basketball is so much better than 2 half basketball. I don't understand why college men stick to halves. It's a lesser product.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict."

Military Academy, 6/3/47
"Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war.
Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war."

Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.

President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:

β€œIn my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
