I'm not talking about the TV networks speculating or reporting on rumor or innuendo. I'm talking about them simply at least stating that Trump hasn't spoken publicly in 6 days. Isn't that, in and of itself, news? Isn't reporting the news their job?

Owning one of these gets you accused of being an elitist who's imposing his lifestyle on other people.
"Trump hasn't been in public for several days. Here's how this is bad for Biden."
There is a great optical illusion at the beginning of this. It looks like you're both pedaling and traveling backward.
Now I'm wondering what kind of eco-friendly solution actually gets you to one of these imaginary rig hotels. Bunker fuel cruise ships? Helicopters burning Jet-A?
We already knew Woody Allen was a piece of shit... but wow.
Normally I'd wish a lot of suffering on someone so horrible, but I'm just hoping that the US is able to begin healing sooner rather than later. Maybe that's just hopium on multiple levels.
Why isn't MSM calling this what it is? A concentration camp.
What I want to know is how the FUCK 37 percent of people are so stupid that they approve of his handling of the economy.
That's genuinely terrifying. I would not bike that.
This has been true since 2016. I think a lot of this has to do with lead exposure and brain damage.
Cute but for anyone who knows anything about dog training... teaching your dog that clothing is a toy is a big mistake.
I am, fortunately.
My grandmother died in precisely that way. I watched her die. She was gasping for breath at the end. It was sad. She certainly didn't deserve to die that like that. I'm in your camp though.
"The National Guard -- welcomed as liberators"
Reminiscent of my days at UC Davis. That was the best bike community I've ever been in, aside from Amsterdam.
His press secretary has already lied about the cause of the bruising, so there is likely no amount of legitimate reporting that will lead to anything substantive... just speculation from educated health care providers (which I am not).
So far every single analysis I've seen suggests that he has late-stage congestive heart failure; the medications they're giving him are also likely causing renal (kidney) failure.
They've been using cover-up makeup on it for months now, if not longer. The real news is that the bruising is appearing on both of his hands now.
Look at how chunky those tiny hands have gotten.
Your own screenshot proves me correct. If I ever make a grammar mistake, call me out on it. I'm happy to integrate something new to my knowledge instead of spitting vitriol at other people.
I wonder if it could serve same of the under-served demographics as bookmobiles while we unfuck our infrastructure.
You could AT LEAST fix the meme to read "every day" since "everyday" is incorrect. If we're ribbing people for stupidity, it's best to perhaps use good grammar and spelling.
Hopefully
They pretend that poverty and mental illness only exist in the thick of blue cities... this just isn't true. Most of the poorest and sickest states in this ailing nation are in deep red states.
Perhaps MAGAts will begin to see just how ridiculous Trump is when it's reflected back to them by someone they don't worship.
This is illegal This is unconstitutional This is illegal This is unconstitutional This is illegal This is unconstitutional This is illegal This is unconstitutional This is illegal This is unconstitutional This is illegal This is unconstitutional This is illegal This is unconstitutional
They are trying to foment unrest and use it as a pretext for martial law The problem is, even knowing that, we may not have another choice
As one suspected all along, the objective is to use crime as pretext for the Jim Crow-ing of all America.
I guess we’re okay with this. (Feel free to RT this over the next few days, weeks, years, forever)
Update: Closer to $6k after repairs. :(
This is the US Constitution page @ the Library of Congress Sections 9 and 10 have been removed 9 includes habeas corpus, the courts' review of unlawful detention & imprisonment This gov't can't change the Constitution w/ sneaky editing, but it's a new low: constitution.congress.gov/constitution/
The US Government has removed Sections 9 and 10 from Article I of the Constitution from the government's website. #government #democracy #wtf #news #politics
Kamala Harris was right about everything just like Hillary Clinton was and I’m proud AF to have voted for both of them, my conscience is clear because I chose experienced qualified leadership instead of trashy chaos and daily catastrophe.
Pro tip: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, store one of these 2.5 gallon jugs in any orientation except the way they are sold. They buckle under their own weight, leak, and can cause $4,000 in mold damage. This is all because I thought pointing the spigot upward would prevent leaks! #expensivemistake #mold

When are companies going to learn that "checkout," "login," "backup" and similar one-word forms 👏are👏not👏verbs!? If your prompt is to go to the checkout, you either write "Go to checkout" or "Check out." The form "Checkout now" is patently wrong and is unacceptable. #rant #grammar #english
Same here. They will not see another dime as long as he is involved with WaPo.
So... this is why the AI framework is fucking terrifying:
Cockatoos are parrots. This is a cockatoo for sure, just not certain which type.
THIS. May I add - the G7 folder fiasco featured an EO on accelerating trade with UK Trump signed in April, hence only his signature on it. I was there, I saw it.
Personally, I don’t think anyone is conflating the dictionary definition of personal responsibility with the republican dog whistle used to shit on the unhoused and jobless. They just found a really good dog whistle.
Roundabouts don't request safe speed compliance, they demand it.
Have you ever considered working with XR glasses instead of a monitor? What about skipping bringing the computer with you at all – and using virtual desktop on XR glasses via your phone? I tested that here. #viture #tech #remotework #videos
Today's #Wordle was particularly brutal.
I hate admitting this, but I delete any Reddit comment I make that gets ≤0 votes. It just makes me feel shitty seeing the number. Which leads to the main admission: I too am affected mood-wise by social media interactions. That's part of why I deleted FB 18 months ago. Too many provocateurs.
And NIMBYs actively fight development while decrying homelessness in the same breath.
Keep quashing fascists in the EU. It's not done there, but must continue to be actively rejected as it has been in most recent election cycles.
I am 100% guilty of using the en dash in place of the em dash – it just feels better with a space on either end, and not unnecessarily long.
“Let’s be honest: The real issue isn’t me—it’s you. You simply don’t read enough.” 100% truth. It applies to so many areas. The misinterpretation of myriad subjects often comes down to the fact many people are barely literate.
The AI part of the EO is pretty insane and sets a dangerous precedent for system prompt defaults in government AI use.
The Sandman Season 2, Volume 2 is out NOW! Catch me as Matthew only on Netflix!
BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.
Fascism in a system prompt: Trump's new Executive Order on AI is terrifying. #news #politics #trump #ai #chatgpt #grok #musk #democracy #government
Chipotle showing off their guac making in this TikTok ad. Except the avocados are so underripe it should be a war crime. #wtf #food #chipotle
Who is buying this for $249? Like... did Canon make 5 of these and are pricing in all the R&D? It costs almost half what the camera (R50 V) does. It's just a USB-C power adapter. You can solve this for $20 or less yourself. #wtf #canon #photography
"Over 40,000 people die in car crashes in the US every year...neighborhoods are carved up by high-speed traffic. Kids can’t walk to school safely. But someone saw a teenager run a stop sign on an e-bike, so the real crisis must be those darn batteries on two wheels." electrek.co/2025/07/20/i...
THIS SO MUCH. Also, why did Electrek need to use AI slop for its thumbnail!?
The color grading is perfect on these.
Of course they are. Speaker Mike Johnson is planning to shut the House down early for summer recess, just to block an effort that would force a vote on releasing the Epstein investigation files. Because shielding Trump’s secrets matters more to them than doing their jobs.
The only other place in the *world* where I've experienced anything remotely similar to that was in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) in 2010. I didn't actually try to cross a freeway, but I accidentally walked up a freeway ramp once. Hopefully their pedestrian infrastructure improved in the last 15 years.
Trump just claimed the Alamaba-LSU game had a record attendance of 125,000 people. It was 102,000. Why does he exaggerate/lie about EVERYTHING
Trump is still conflating "asylum" with mental institutions. Also, he referred to Hillary Clinton as Clinton's ex-wife. They're still married. This is one of the most epic(ally terrible) Trump rants I've ever heard.
Did Trump just call Hillary Clinton the ex-wife of a president? #wtf #politics
I love everything about this.
What's crazy is they live in a small town. She never leaves the house, he mostly only ever goes to work a few blocks away and the grocery store. They're very withdrawn socially. I can see why it took them so long to get COVID but also am a little taken aback it's still so virulent.
That's how my mom described it. She and her husband are high-risk for different reasons (her: immunocompromised, him: weight, asthmatic) and she used the razor blade descriptor. They got COVID for the very first time recently.
Goth muffins, aka black tahini mochi muffins. My wife had been meaning to make these for long time and made them last night. Super chewy and not too sweet at all! #food #baking
Just as an aside, it’s so so funny he was auctioning off the same shitty drawing for charity for years.
Takes a lot to thin out a diet of McDonald's.

Jack Conte, for those unaware. I will not acknowledge or approach a celeb until AFTER the flight if I recognize them on a flight. Do not want to make it awkward for either of us.
I got off of a plane and realized I'd been on the same flight as Adam Savage. Went up and talked to him. Very nice guy. This summer, I got onto a plane and realized I was sitting next to the CEO of Patreon (who I'd met years ago when he was best-known for Pomplamoose, the band). Still a nice guy.
(it's already on a grid with multi-lane roads), and so many other things. If there's one thing dumb boomers cannot tolerate, it's being called on the carpet for their "fuck you, got mine" attitude. #buildhousing #housing #progressive #boomer #nimby #yimby
pejoratives. I have called people out for their racist dog whistles conflating high density housing with crime; claiming that we cannot build in an "earthquake zone" (how do Japan and San Francisco and Los Angeles do it?), claiming that our city cannot support traffic
Nextdoor is a cesspool of boomer morons who are scared of abso-fucking-lutely everything. For supporting a high-density housing project in my downtown, I've been called a profit-seeking business owner, someone from the WEF (I had to look up what that was), someone with a "shite" attitude and other
Astro Bot is a masterpiece.
Where were they placed and what problem was Cuomo trying to solve? I don't really know anything about NYC politics.
NEW: FEMA records show Kerr County officials did not use FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert & Warning System to send warnings with safety instructions to all mobile phones in the affected area during critical hours as the flooding began.
Hmm... who do I believe... the corpus of scientific literature or someone who goes by "brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social" ?
Yes, humans have built-in antioxidant defenses, there's sci. evidence that antioxidants from whole foods (like fruits, veg. nuts) support those systems and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Saying "zero benefit" to dietary antioxidants ignores decades of nutritional research showing the opposite.
Can either country feed that many soldiers?
My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.
If you're going to shamelessly rip TikTok content, at least link to the original source.
Trump has been lying, which we all knew, but now there’s hard evidence. For the first time, El Salvador has confirmed that the United States is responsible for more than 130 Venezuelan migrants who’ve been imprisoned for months in its notorious megaprison.
These third-party AI articles are so scummy. It really devalues you as a news source.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview. Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.
They finally made the milk from that hotel
Make no mistake: Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’ As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.
This is a Rosy Bourke Parakeet, right?
That's... how many restaurants in the last 10 years? Like 3 or 4, right? Grill was pretty good – sad to see them go.
All of that was left out of your post, but okay.

JD Vance just cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass H.R. 1, the disastrous spending bill. Another blow to democracy.
