Husband, father, member of Raw Produce. My opinions and jokes are my own.
Call me crazy, but I think that this is an attempt by Trump to take out MSNBC because I think like 90% of their ad inventory is pharma ads. I know, I know, so does Fox etc...

Damn, that is a deep mascot.
Hatton, a sentient aerial view of a spilled bowl of soup, is the mascot for Tome City. The ingredients in the soup are local produce, and the spillage is in the shape of the city.

The Florida SG argues that the government cannot force children to be vaccinated, but also that gender-affirming care for minors should be banned? I'd say they're just stupid but that hides how they codify their believes into laws, regardless of contradictions.

Exclusive: The Internal Revenue Service said Friday it wouldn’t tell immigration authorities whether people had claimed the earned income tax credit, citing privacy protections.
Later that day, Billy Long was on his way out.

I don’t trust Maxwell. I could see her agreeing to name only Trump enemies and leave him out in exchange for a pardon.

this is going to put owning a complete dinosaur skeleton totally out of reach for the average American family
Earlier this summer, I broke the news that Sothebys — after smashing records for a private fossil sale in 2024 — was bringing a Ceratosaurus that had previously been in a museum to market. It just sold for $30 million, the third highest price ever.
The age of sky-high dinosaur prices is here.

Now waiting for the @nytimes.com article about the cognitive decline of the President. Along with the article about the Utah study on transgender care for minors, commission by conservatives, that found that the care was supported by science. I'll wait.

I find it interesting that Bill Clinton was almost taken down by a BJ, and a lie about that BJ, and Trump could possibly be taken out by the Epstein files. None of the other stuff that Trump did was considered bad by the MAGA faithful, but, like Clinton, this seems to cross a line for them.

This 100x - people do not seem to recognize that this is the culmination of a very long term project.
If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

They are going to go after mifepristone. Anybody that told you otherwise wasn't paying attention.
NEW: The American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs has sent a letter to HHS and the FDA asking for a reinstatement of pre-2016 restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone, which would limit its use to just seven weeks of pregnancy and require in-person distribution and follow up.

This might be the most insane thing the Trump admin has talked about.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

Can anyone explain to me the logic of the Republicans passing a bill that would seem to end their political careers? The only reason I can come up with is that the GOP has assumed that Trump will become a dictator and they want to be on his side when that happens. Makes zero sense.

Been thinking about this a lot - not from a privacy standpoint but just from a feasibility POV. Amazon, for example, has zero incentive to allow agents (other than their own) to automatically drive, say, a purchase.
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing.
Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.
Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Creative idea for dealing with MAGA: create copies of media reports on Trump but search and replace with Biden. Then, after they get outraged about the behavior, let them know that it was actually Trump.

Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware.

Ukraine: Massive Russian attack happening on Kyiv. Upwards of 70 drones and missiles.
This is debris of a Russian missile shot down by air defense, possibly a 1.5 ton Iskander ballistic missile with a ~700kg warhead, falling from the sky over Kyiv.
