As the East Wing of the White House is being partially demolished, posts claim Trump once said the new $200 million ballroom "won't interfere with the current building." That's true. ✅ www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

"Charity is, of course, what I named my wallet."
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

"Charity is, of course, what I named my wallet."
I mean, if the East Wing was built and reserved for the offices of the First Lady, I suppose it just took him this long to realize it wasn't getting any use...
Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?
Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

From your thumbs to Gid's ears
In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

More than 60 years after the March on Washington, Dr. King’s dream should be our reality. Yet today, systemic racism, voter suppression & injustice persist. It’s disheartening that progress is stalled—but we honor the March on Washington by refusing to give in. I won’t give in. The fight continues.

You had me till "corner folders," at which point I vomited a little in my mouth.
Good books immerse you in a new world. Great books introduce you to a new worldview.
Good books are page-turners—they're meant to be devoured. Great books are corner-folders—they're made to be savored.
Good books keep you engaged. Great books leave you changed.

A quick work-around in the meantime is to add -ai to your search and then not click on offered drop down options.
Okay, so my awesome sister @sharonie621.bsky.social just showed me how to customize Google to search without AI.
IT IS SO MUCH BETTER NOW.
Maybe I'm the last person to do this. But just in case I'm not, it's easy to set up. I'll share the steps here. (1/8)

Trump announces more tariffs on Canada and says, "The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State."

...and there goes my final reason for checking flights on Southwest
Southwest Airlines will begin charging customers a fee to check bags, abandoning a decades-long practice that executives had described last fall as key to differentiating the budget carrier from its rivals.
At Southwest Airlines, checked bags will no longer fly for free
Southwest Airlines will begin charging customers a fee to check bags. It's a significant change for the budget carrier, which built years of advertising campaigns around its policy of letting passengers check up to two bags for free.
