Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Genuine question for veterinarians: If you handle or deal with pets who are severely immunocompromised, why would you not mask properly around the pet?

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Ask yourself what you’d think about another country if a new regime quickly prohibited all government agencies from communicating with the public, then began deleting data from government websites that it deemed unacceptable.
FYI if you are looking for the Dec. 2024 AFFHT-0007 dataset from the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (which has apparently been deleted by the Trump administration) I've got the nationwide backup on my hard drive.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

The ultimate irony that Pete Hegseth complains that we have lowered the standards to join the military while he asks Senators to lower the standards for confirming a Secretary of Defense.

Thank Senators Duckworth and Peters for pointing this out.

Venture capital allowed the rich to scale up their products at very low costs to customers, which led to killing competition, then monopolizing what was left (think Uber). Product quality was really just a form of marketing.

Once monopolies were established, quality was an impediment to profits.
Does it feel like tech is ceasing to evolve in ways that are useful to everyday people, and instead functions to control, placate and diminish us?
