Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof.

How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

*a guy on the highway cuts me off so I look away from the road to navigate menus to try to type “1337” (gamer reference) to open my glovebox; I drift into oncoming traffic and collide with a Boar’s Head® delivery truck, giving my burning wreck the savory aroma of PitCraft® Slow Smoked Turkey Breast*
way funnier knowing in any emergency situation she'd have to be clicking through a bunch of submenus to even open the glovebox

So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through.

Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

I love "future-washing", it reminds me of "bionic duckweed"
Bionic duckweed: using the future to fight the present
When visions of the future are used, in bad or dubious faith, to undermine action and investment today, that’s bionic duckweed

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Please for the love of god call your reps and tell them to vote no to KOSA and other bad internet bills otherwise we lose everything we have
You need to do it now, today is the day
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

Hegseth told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement. The anecdote is contained in a book Hegseth wrote last year in which he sharply disparaged the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

I'm so tired of measles.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

Show what measles looks like.

"AI dubs" are dead!

We can indeed stop these companies when they try to replace people with stolen slop.

The solution is bullying corporations, which is half y'all's hobby anyway so this should be easy.

Dubbing will continue to stagnate until serious time and consideration is given to the pattern of severe undercutting that is prevalent in the industry. Budgets are getting slashed on workers who were already expected to cut corners with low pay. Adapters and translators are your backbone.

“Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike.” Wow. 12/1/25 thehill.com/homenews/562...
