Since we, the American people, bought this $6.9M worth of lobster tails and $15.1M worth of ribeyes, can we at least get a picture of the spread? I want to have some vicarious enjoyment of it. Let's see the Surf n' Turf.
Also if they're paying $10/lb bulk for ribeye that's 1.5M lbs of meat. WTF?
โAge Verificationโ will force trans people to out themselves to use the internet๏ปฟ. After Kansas suddenly invalidated hundreds of trans peoplesโ licenses, experts warn the discrimination is set to extend to online spaces.
I riffed on this a little yesterday, including how I wish politicians who've bought into the sports stuff would talk about trans rights as a whole. Thread: bsky.app/profile/park...
No American president has ever worn a baseball cap - especially his own $55 merchandise - at a dignified transfer. Like any good propaganda outlet designed to protect a supreme leader, Fox replaced the clip with one showing Trump in a better light.

The 'respect' with which the world views Trump's US:
"Those investigating the explosion by the American Embassy [in Oslo, Norway] are working hard on finding out who might have a motive for such an attack and have now limited that pool to the rest of the world's citizens."

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.
can't help but notice whose losses are expressed in dollars and whose losses are expressed in lives
Nรฅr folk spรธr hvorfor man skal ha diktanalyse i skolen er svaret at alle trenger รฅ lรฆre seg รฅ lese mellom linjene. Om du tolker alt bokstavlig blir du grundig lurt.

"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
Interesting to think that Donald Trump may have, completely inadvertently and at a horrific cost, finally woken up the world to how urgent it is we get off our dangerous addiction to fossil fuels.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
