What a bargain! At $131/g it only took a $131,000 bribe to save millions in tariffs.
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

How the Swiss convinced Trump to drop tariffs with gifts of a Rolex desk clock and a 1 kg gold bar.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

I just discovered that Lumines Arise exists. This feels like a handheld game to me, purely based on my literal hundreds of hours of Lumines on PSP and Vita.

When will this come to Switch? Or am I buying a Steam Deck?

But the leopard won't eat *my* face.
Until now, Social Security disability benefits have been easier to qualify for as a person reaches 50+.

Trump's new rules would end that. Under the new plan, millions, many in red states, could find it more difficult to qualify.

Watched House of Dynamite last night. A few thoughts:

1) damn, Kathryn Bigelow is an amazing director
2) damn, Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, and Jared Harris are incredible actors
3) damn, it's a shame bozos run our country now instead of these characters so excellent at their jobs

I’ve been at the airport since 11. Maybe I’ll finally take off at 4:30 after innumerable delays (mechanical and weather.)

Shoutout to the ATC and TSA workers who were cheerful and helpful despite working without pay.

What if you could taste an early flu infection? Chemists report a molecular sensor that, when placed on an infected tongue as a thin film or gum, will release thyme’s main flavor compound, thymol. cen.acs.org/analytical-c... #chemsky 🧪
This molecule turns your tongue into a flu detector

How dare the NFL select a popular American artist for the half time show!
Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

So… he’s saying he’s worse than the bad guys?
Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

It’s a fact: more people have autism since Trump became president in 2016 than ever before. Therefore, Trump causes autism.

Yes, “children’s hospital chaplain” is a well-known cover for terrorists.
