Operation Idiot Sicario is very dangerous because once you’ve decided to missile random boats rather than interdict them you’ve ignored the advice of every good person in your organization and ensured your kill chain is exclusively staffed by the most evil, malicious, or lazy bastards alive

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

Fox News is mad at Superman and director James Gunn, denouncing them as "woke."
Of course they are. Superman stands for truth, justice, and an American way Trump is tearing down. He's both alien and American, and helps others without demanding praise. He embodies the values MAGA hates.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Five weeks ago, Mary Kate Cornett was a first-year business major dating another Ole Miss student.
Then a spurious claim about her and her boyfriend’s father spread — and was amplified by Pat McAfee, Barstool personalities and others.
