If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.
A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America
i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.
what the fuck are you talking about man

i have been radicalized into agreeing with the car speed governor idea michael expressed at the top of this thread more or less entirely on the basis of the totally garbage responses to it. everyone who complains should also lose 1mph per complaint.
It is not a "surveillance state" for your car to know that the speed limit is 25 miles per hour.

People in the comments really need to learn that coming up with an extremely specific scenario where an idea doesn’t work is not the same as proving an idea is worse than the status quo. Limiting car speed would almost indisputably result in fewer deaths, even if there are exceptions
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.
(15 in Manhattan btw)

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

The guy who offered a bounty to anyone who could provide proof of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio eating dogs -- and then offered as evidence a video of Congolese immigrants in Dayton, Ohio eating chicken -- has opinions about the right's "conspiracy, psychodrama, and tabloid conflicts."
It's wild how Chris Rufo openly talks about his own followers like they are the dumbest, most contemptible people alive. Which, fair!
But it says a lot about MAGA psychology that they don't seem to mind.
