Also wondering what Atari was thinking releasing Adventure of Samsara today of all days. I mean yes I bought it because I have no self control but it's not likely to get playtime soon.

Infuriating.
The indictment was handed down 2 days after career prosecutor Richard Barker, the acting US atty for eastern Washington state, resigned. In a social post, Barker wrote “I am grateful that I never had to sign an indictment or file a brief that I didn’t believe in.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hmmm.

This crossword puzzle is tough!

For example, "What's a ten-letter word for garbage?"

Oh!

It's "Transphobe."

Easy!

Dear fellow residents of SC-5...
If your rep is this stupid, fire them ASAP
During an interview with CNBC this morning, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) alluded to an assurance he received from Trump — that the president would fix whatever issues Republicans had with the legislation he wants them to pass via executive action.

Rep. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, during his nearly-six-hour-long speech on the House floor (which is still going) opposing Trump's Medicaid-cutting-deficit-busting-billionaires-enriching tax-and-spending mega-bill, just suggested people should read the grievances. Well, we did that for you.
NEW: In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed 27 grievances to prove that King George III was a tyrant. We looked at how many of those now apply to Donald Trump. Have a good Fourth of July and pass this on.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son.

Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice.

From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Dear US military members:

You do not need to follow illegal orders. You know this. You don't need to question it.

You. Know.

Veterans are reminding you because they know better than anyone.

You can choose what side of history to stand on.

Your moment to choose is rapidly coming. Are you ready?

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.
