Tech giants keep touting a system they built to label AI-generated content. But it only works if everyone uses it.
So I checked. They're not using it.

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry.
The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

I really liked Adonai Mitchell, coming out of Texas. Lots of athleticism and can separate. Could be a really nice piece for the Jets, and whoever the QB eventually is.

Well your gut feeling is rooted in either ignorance or deceit, because Biden’s DOJ was unable to release the files as they were still sealed by the courts.
But I assume this dumb ass knows this.

Rep. Andy Harris: "My gut feeling is that if there is something in there about Donald Trump, the Biden DOJ would've released it." (Sounds like a great reason to release the files!)

It's endlessly funny to me that conservatives in 2025 think they can get liberals to side against the release of the Epstein files by pointing out Bill Clinton's involvement. Nobody's cared about Bill Clinton for a quarter century.

A few months ago I wrote about why it’s important that MAGA’s alternate reality has been penetrated by Trump’s refusal to expose the Epstein conspiracy, which has been central to the American fascist narrative.

The American right's bad-faith worldview and the entire MAGA project is threatened by Trump's inaction on the Epstein files.

I don’t claim to be an expert on these things, but what’s always baffled me about the cultish behavior w/Trump is he is the antithesis of masculinity in nearly every way.
He’s weak. He’s decrepit. He’s slovenly. He’s by many accounts sexually inept. There’s nothing appealing about him at all.

Matt LaFleur's game plan for the Eagles didn't work. More damningly, he didn't seem interested in shifting tactics, dooming the Packers to their second straight loss.
For @theleap.bsky.social: Green Bay can't be taken seriously until LaFleur gets serious.
