This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

I was at work during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot & did not know anything happened till I was riding the metro home. Seeing right wingers with signs was nothing new but finding out what happened made me kind of scared of these people. I didn’t go in Jan. 7 because I didn’t know who I’d be riding with.

I don’t like these articles saying “we” were soft and complacent after Jan. 6. It’s reminiscent of “everyone thought Saddam had WMDs” in that it tries to share recrimination evenly when many of us were shouting to the rafters in both cases.

I wrote this review, #Industry is fantastic TV.
Industry Season 4 might be the most incisive depiction of modern ambition on TV—where incentives, access, and image-building are as decisive as talent. Framed through fintech intrigue and razor-sharp character work, it’s prestige television with real bite.
#Industry
‘Industry’ returns to assert itself as one of the best shows on TV
Season 4 makes Industry must-watch prestige TV: money, power, and control. Harper & Eric chase Tender’s secrets while Yasmin and Henry Muck turn the heat up.

It looks like DOI is trying to get ahead of folks slapping stickers over Trump's face on national park passes.

New guidelines mention stickers specifically and it will be up to staff if they accept your pass or not.

With unemployment assistance done and my job search coming up zero, I have no money coming in.
I can make this month with about $500, just to cover bills and give me time to hopefully get seasonal work I’ve been applying for.
Can’t express enough the gratitude I have to those who’ve helped before.
Former delivery warehouse worker, looking for assistance.
Currently looking for work and it's bleak. I hate still being in this situation, but I’ve gotten few hits on my many applications.
If you can help, I'll appreciate it more than anything. If you can't, I understand.

I don’t know if I need to remind you that I’m still looking for work, I probably should include that I’ve got some big ass clients coming up and have already worked for major studios, it doesn’t matter because we’re all passing around the same 20 dollar bill, essentially

So here's a newsreel from 89 years ago about a trans man. It's only 95 seconds long and pro-trans. How god damned far we've fallen.

Trump’s getting away with doing whatever he wants because not enough people in power are resisting him, even when he flagrantly breaks the law. It’s sickening.

I continue to say I’d rather have my healthy 13 year old autistic son with me than a neurotypical kid dead of measles at age five.

But thankfully I never had to make that trade because it turns out I’m not a buffoon who believes a single discredited study by a known fraud in the first place.
The vaccine autism thing is bullshit but even if you believed it, it seems incredibly fucked up to then believe that raising child death rates is some sort of worthwhile trade-off to reduce autism rates
BREAKING: CDC announces an unprecedented overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule, a significant shift that recommends fewer shots for all kids.

I ranked every 2025 release I watched in 2025. If you see something you thought was great lower than you think it should be it just means I enjoyed/was moved by/felt a closer emotional kinship to whatever is ranked above it. I fussed over it a lot but was pencils down on January 1st.

If the NYPD bombed Washington Heights and killed 5 elderly people while trying to arrest a drug dealer, I would HOPE someone would be pulled into a courtroom over it. And not the drug dealer. An officer. Because why are you bombing a neighborhood for this?

Everyone who’s been appointed by Trump should be brought up on charges. We’re seeing the most corrupt administration, possibly of all time, and not enough is being done to combat it.

Walz shouldn’t give in to pressure from a false fraud claim. Trump wants Walz to resign and Trump should not get what he wants.
