The Pulitzer Board is actually fighting back against one of Trump’s vexatious lawsuits, saying, ‘If you were harmed, prove it — with medical and financial records.’

Not rolling over like some of the capitulating companies we’ve seen.

For millions of us, this was the first time we ever saw Rob Reiner. …When he became “Meathead” on “All in the Family.”

He was brilliant from Day One.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

I like this strategy. I'm just going to start making shit up at work and whenever I'm asked how I arrived at my answers, I'll just say "I'm building out the infrastructure." bsky.app/profile/atru...
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

I just counted all the change in my Tide Pod container and I'd like to announce that I'm launching a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery for $352.43. Let the games begin!

I saw this movie over 40 years ago and thought it was horrible. But I was a snot-nosed punk then. It's still not great, but it's not that bad.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.

So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.

It's that Bondi is too.
