In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

the conversation we should be having is that AI is developing and will certainly displace many workers, and we should develop government programs to even out the losses and gains between workers and capitalists. but instead we argue about whether a trans person was on netflix

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler
JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

The fact that right-wingers commit the vast bulk of domestic terrorism in the US is well-established by numerous expert investigations & reports.

But the right *accuses* the left more often, makes more *noise* about it, so they've bullied reporters into framing this as a "both sides" problem.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

harbaugh messed up that endgame. ravens took their timeout right after 2nd down so 30 seconds were on the clock. that allowed buffalo to kneel and get a kick off

if they had taken a timeout at ~20 seconds, the bills only could spike the ball with 15 seconds or try a rushed kneel + kick operation

Again, i know folks who’ve been on calls with the admin about this, and their entire plan is get massive gas plants running within 6-12mo. They genuinely cannot understand why that doesn’t work, or why shutting down wind (which the eagles thing basically will) is a problem
Electricity costs are going to be the biggest topic of the 2026 election I think. There’s going to be a big push to get democrats to complain about big utilities price gouging even though they’re largely regulated and we need them to build a ton. I’m begging just blame Trump please.

But I'm not allowed to say that rural areas are shitholes, cultural & economic dead zones filled with highways & chain stores, kept alive entirely through ongoing subsidization from the very city dwellers they demonize.
Here’s the RNC asking its donors if they’ve ever been to the big city, which it calls “rat and feces infested gang headquarters for illegal immigrants.” (Many of its donors live in big cities.)
