Like I said, so much for the leaders of these states having "Christian values".

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

That's how you say it.

@euronews: 🇪🇸 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez seems pleased with the French (and UK) election results. "There is no agreement or government with the extreme right," he said in a post on X. https://t.co/1BamVU5jTf

I never saw this coming. But wow.

The prospect of both France and the UK potentially recognising Palestine soon is huge, given both are on the Security Council. That really would make it just the US holding out.

Good, because they deserve it.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

So much for having Christian values.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

So much cringe...

Am I cooler than the least cool thing imaginable? Yeah, probably.

Pretty shameful.

Not everyone has gotten that the piece I wrote below is satire. It is, intended to convey how the media would cover Biden denying connections with his closest aides. But the reality is that when Trump does it, it barely merits a mention. NYT front page is all Biden. Trump's lies not covered.

Good day to be lazy.

He's very on point here.

Memmi was so real for this one abrahamriesman.com/the-jewish-p...

This should definitely be reposted.

These are terrible human beings, and they should be kept as far away from power as possible.

Man, I've gained quite a few new followers just today. Thank you guys!

Can we all just recollect ourselves and not lose our minds when we're fighting against the forces that drive climate change?

We're effin up the climate so much you got Vox trying to popularize new weather measurements

Even a tepid choice can be a momentous change when the alternative is evil

What a surprise! They need a change from the top down.

Anti-woke, going broke

CNN Hits Lowest Primetime Ratings Since 1991www.thedailybeast.com The cable channel’s 8-11 p.m. slate drew an average of 83,000 viewers in a key metric—the lowest in three decades.

Yep

It’s important to defeat Republicans so thoroughly they have to tear the party down and rebuild it. It’s good to have two (or more) viable parties, but neither of them can be violent, eliminationist, authoritarian cults of personality.

And guess what? It's okay to be mad and sad about what's going on around the world.

Everyone is angry about the world and scared about the future and defensive on account of being pretty sure (correctly or not) that someone else is blaming them for something terrible and I don’t know if any of that will help but it’s probably useful to acknowledge what’s happening and breathe a bit

I'm incredibly bullish on America's future. I get it's a bit hard to see these days--the death throes of unpopular authoritarianism is pretty scary and there are real problems in the immediate term--but I definitely think America's best days are still very much ahead.

I knew i liked this show www.advocate.com/politics/okl...

Looks like the people of the UK can experience better governance for the first time in 14 years.

Good to know Biden can't stand the NYT either.

Instead of focusing on imaginary Biden problems, the @nytimes.com should ask its publisher to resign. Also, here’s a reminder of the pettiness that greases the wheels of a lot of the paper’s White House coverage (not sure if that’s an apt metaphor but I’m going with it)

How The New York Times Became the White House’s Least Favorite Paperwww.politico.com Biden’s people think they’re “entitled." The Times says “they’re not being realistic.”

Yep!

Dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal. Birthright citizenship Equal protection of the laws Due process of law No race or sex description in voting No titles of nobility No insurrectionists in office No cruel and unusual punishment Happy Birthday America!

I actually hope they die in prison.

In which I note that presidential sole authority to launch nuclear missiles is pretty much like a monarchy already. The question is in whose hands you want that authority. #nukesky

This Won’t Change Under A Monarchy

This Won’t Change Under A Monarchy - Lawyers, Guns & Moneywww.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com The US President has sole authority to launch nuclear missiles. “Sole authority” is the official phrase, and it means what it says. Only the President can give the order to launch nuclear missiles, and he is not restricted in any way. He does not have to consult with anyone else. A military aide follows him […]

Imagine driving up and seeing a guy like this.

Drove by this guy on the way home from Book Moon. Guessing he was around 600 lbs. Definitely the biggest bear I’ve seen around here. Just before this picture was taken he was on his back, bent forward, grooming his own butt fur like some giant house cat.

History is certainly repeating itself. Sadly.

This should not be a thing, at all.

Earlier this week, AI company ElevenLabs said it is bringing digitally produced celebrity voice-overs of deceased actors to its newly launched Reader app. The company said the app takes articles, PDF, ePub, newsletters, e-books or any other text on your phone and turns it into voice-overs.

It's so lame that we're still dealing with things like this in 21st century America.

this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

Lawsuit: Northwestern’s law school is biased against White men in hiringwww.washingtonpost.com The lawsuit, filed by a prominent attorney, alleges the university’s law school gives hiring preference to women and people of color.

Goddamn.

I’m a little sad the person who just blocked me won’t see this.
