Be the first.

Be the first current NHL player to come out.

You deserve sunshine too.

Your bravery will destroy towers of hate.

You will help so many who are boxed in by oppression.

You will shine across the world and time.

We can’t wait to know who you are.

Santa's pale because he visits in the middle of six months of darkness on Earth’s North Pole. And for the other six months, the Sun ascends no more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon. And he delivers gifts only at night.

All combined, Santa might be the whitest person on Earth.

If you pull out all the GDP related to AI and data center spending, I believe it's likely we're already in a recession. Even worse, a lot of that activity isn't cash spending but just reciprocal agreements between corporations. If so much as one thing falters, it's all going to come crashing down.

Trump is clearly still on his quest to nab Greenland.

And for that, you can thank Ronald Lauder of Estée Lauder, the $29 billion makeup brand, who reportedly told Trump to buy the country in 2019.

Gov. Bill Lee last year decided to forgo $84M for the federally-funded Summer EBT program, which has helped feed 700,000 Tennessee kids when school is out. He hasn't said if he will take the money this year. @anitawadhwani.bsky.social reports.

Democrats in Congress have thus far failed to make a stink out of Pam Bondi's ethical conflicts (some of which she tried to hide during confirmation), most notably w/GEO and Qatar.

But Luigi Mangione's defense team may force that issue, claiming she had conflict bc of past ties to United Health.

"Trump’s tariffs are a failure not just as tariffs, in fulfilling their purported purpose. But because Trump knows so little about the markets he’s trying to alter, he’s simply making the US vulnerable."
Donald Trump Is Getting a Pass for His Catastrophic Trade War - emptywheel
Coverage of the economic damage caused by Trump's trade war minimizes the degree to which that's just the affect of Trump using unlawful power when he doesn't understand what he's doing.

Trump promised to cut Americans' energy bills in half.

But a year later American households have paid $12 BILLION MORE for natural gas since Trump took office.

His policies are causing short term price increases that will snowball into longer term energy price hikes.
