It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

It’s been oddly surreal to hear the news framing the news around regime change in Iran and Cuba as the culmination of decades of shared agreement when Obama did significantly change US policy towards both in pretty recent memory.

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

“Unconditional surrender” was the Allies’ demand in WWII. They backed it up by occupying Germany, Italy and Japan.

Is Trump prepared to send hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy Iran, a nation of 93 million people, and to risk the resulting casualties? If not, this is simply bluster.

A potential bad scenario is that he gets frustrated with Iran, gas prices, the economy, etc. and wants a quick win on something (as he understands "win"). And that's a road that only leads to Greenland.

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

The print press should always quote him exactly and TV should quote him exactly too, the way they do here:

Trump has posted 25 times since the jobs report came out - 8 times alone about how much Bill Maher sucks. (No argument here.) None of the posts have addressed the jobs report.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....

Is any major company's consumer-facing IT worse than Avis? They seem to be the only company that's trying to force customers to their phone lines.

...so we failed to 'obliterate' the nuclear site, but we sure did take out that elementary school..

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case, the agents asked whether they could audio record the interview. advised she was not comfortable being recorded at that time. requested agents explain to her the goal and parameters of the fourth interview. She indicated she was aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept. The agents also explained why they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse endured at the hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. / was asked whether she felt

Page 2 of 2 comfortable detailing her contacts with TRUMP. again asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it.

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

I'll also note that we still appear to be missing a ton of pages from this woman's file. There were at least *53 pages* missing (that we know about) and we still don't seem to have all of them — specifically the FBI's contemporaneous notes for these interviews

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making “false claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism “cures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.

Now, under RFK Jr.’s leadership, that advisory is gone.

CSPAN @cspan . @SpeakerJohnson after House blocked War Powers Resolution: "We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the Department of Defense have made it very clear, this is a limited operation."

Darkly funny he had enough self-awareness to revert to "Department of Defense" here.

Whenever I see a list of the biggest podcasts I wonder how people have decided to listen to podcasts but only to terrible ones. It’s like if you got into movies and started telling everybody that Zach Braff is probably the greatest living actor.

Piece of shit Mike Johnson called for him to drop his reelection bid but not immediately resign because he'd lose the majority.

(and now I just saw your post about Chicago)

I may have two tickets for the Sirens game Sunday at noon in Newark - would you want 'em if they become available?

what an inspiration, a true guiding light, an aegis against attack and a lantern against the darkness, wow

This is far more threatening to American Jews than anyone's policy views toward Israel

Cool thanks man.

I fucking hate the American culture of entitled asshole selfishness. you see it everywhere. the driver assholes going 90 in a school zone. the assholes who don’t leash their dog or pick up their dog shit. the assholes who litter. the assholes who won’t vaccine their kids
