WHO GIVES A DAMN?

It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.

Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

I'll make a deal. We pick someone at random sent to CECOT, and we’ll send members of President Trump’s family who committed the same or equivalent infraction justifying that person’s incarceration in a torture prison to CECOT as well.

Maybe that a) the piece was ready and b) the reporters made normal efforts to get comment from the administration?
The Bari Weiss hysteria continues. Exactly what in "this piece isn't ready" and "try harder to get comment from the administration" constitutes the death of American journalism? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Between stuff like the Cracker Barrel logo bullshit and the wind power fiasco, no one will start a major business or project in America until we scrub off the feces Trump and his MAGA faithful have smeared all over the place.

The cleanup/rebuild will take DECADES.

Amatuer hour! Thank God for their incompetence.
Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

At this point, if they can't preserve USC v. Notre Dame, Notre Dame might as well join the ACC in football. I'd endorse joining the Big Ten in all sports, but that monstrosity is too large to take any more members.
Joint statement from USC and Notre Dame on the rivalry hiatus:

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.

It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

This is especially true in New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

It's less true in Alaska and Hawaii.

The TV is analog, not digital, let alone HDTV. The stereo won't accept a connection from your phone or even your MP3 player. The built-in phone connects to a landline, not a 5G network.

Temu probably sells one now for $320.

Rick Steves understands there is a world beyond his backyard, has enough resources and knowledge to live *anywhere*, yet chooses to reside in the U.S. and help his neighbors.

This is a good person.

Imagine if all the mega-wealthy used just a fraction of their money for good.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I just streamed the whole last(?) Mission: Impossible movie in one sitting.

I'm not sure why. Maybe I should discuss with an expert whether I have OCD.
