I have a theory that the word "tension" is being used all over media and writing in content everywhere you go because ChatGPT is influencing the language choices of countless people, and it also happens to love that word.
Am I off base, or do you think there's a there there?

It's very telling that the NYC debate hosts chose to front-load the debate with questions on Israel, which the DNC primary resoundingly proved this city doesn't prioritize over economic concerns - even though the specific subject of affordability didn't come up until much later.

Just so everyone is clear: MTG did not grow a conscience and shift to the left on economic issues.
What she did is read polling in her district, which made it clear she needed to pivot on key issues to keep her job.
Until I hear her apologize and say, "AOC was right," she still needs to go.

So before the election, the conservatives were shipping migrants to New York City in busses, spending millions and millions of dollars to send them over.
Now, they're sending the military and ICE and spending billions to round them all up for deportation.
Human Rights aside, this makes zero sense.

Rest in piece to Jane Goodall, one of the most wonderful humans, who helped expose multiple generations to the incredible world of our cousins in the primate kingdom.
And besides that brief stint as a cartoon, slave-driving, diamond miner in the 90s, was truly one of the best humanity had to offer.

Steven Miller's speech almost perfectly matches much of Hitler's 1920 speech in Munich. Some of the language is nearly identical, even.
This is a side-by-side comparison of key aspects of both speeches, where you can see he is directly using the language of one of History's most notorious monsters.

Why is every news story talking about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel characterizing his comments as being about Charlie Kirk when the entirety of his commentary was about the GOP and Trump's reaction and characterization of the shooting?

If the fascists thought they could simply just steam-roll the country into obedience without a few people fighting back, they were wrong.

A progressive tax system is one that directs money from sources that spend the lowest percentage of their resources to those who spend the highest percentage of their resources.
This means that the money in use is used more often, which means it creates more relative value.

I'm amazed Hulk Hogan lasted into his 70s.
Given the track record of others in his field (especially those who used steroids as much as he did), that was a very long life.
It seems like many wrestlers from the 80s and 90s saw their hearts give out before they even made it into their sixties.

I've never been prouder of Jon Stewart, after he told Paramount (the parent company of both him and Stephen Colbert) exactly what he thinks of them.
I don't want to see him canceled, but I'd bet Comedy Central is about to have some "purely financial" woes after tonight.

There's something deeply hilarious about the fact that Elon's "America Party" has nearly the same name as the "American Party".
That party favored policies around opposition to immigration over abolition of slavery.
They were also called "The No-Nothing Party" - a very apt name for Musk's party! 😂

ICE is about to receive a massive budget increase.
My Prediction:
Sometime within the next 2 years, Trump will rename ICE to something more befitting a paramilitary group that's shifting from just deporting migrants to also detaining citizens in full force for "crimes against the American people".

Mamdani's plan to tax the richest New Yorkers has been met with the very common threat that increases in their taxes will cause them to flee the city.
To people who think someone will pack up and leave because of a 2% tax:

Hot take on ICE:
If you know a member of the criminal ICE gang, but you are keeping their identity a secret? You are complicit in every crime they commit.
You are no better than the SS officer's wife, who enjoyed her nice home while ignoring the ashes rising next door.
