That's unfortunate
CSU professor charged with assaulting U.S. agents with their own tear gas
In fewer than five years, Bari Weiss managed to parlay her resignation as an NYT columnist into a massive platform on Substack and then into editorial control of CBS News--making a vast fortune along the way--all off the absurd claim she's being silenced. First ballot hall-of-fame grifter.
It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.
You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *’migrants * www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Ambulance carrying a crash victim crashes in L.A., drawing a crash investigator — who also crashes
Where?
Should I go page by page and scan a half dozen J.C. Whitney catalogs from the 50s thru the 80s?
Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Brake fluid should be sold in 2oz bottles, as well as 6oz and pints.
There is one of those I see near where I work in the same color. I want it.
My feeling is that you should not be allowed to run if you will be 80 before your term is up
Need to hear an anti-vaxxer explain what they think dog autism is immediately
If Portland was a civilized as L.A. or San Francisco, you could just go around all that traffic
I want them to at least make them sell YouTube which has nothing to do with the rest of their business
Doesn't Tetsuo say at one point that it is two wheel drive? I always assumed it was electric
I think Kaneda's bike being considered "cool" is the least believable part of the movie. (and I have a half assed version)
My most controversial anime opinion: considering it has a step through body and floor board, the Akira "motorcycle" is arguably a scooter
Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...
As someone who can pick locks, nobody is bothering to copy your key from a photo, or even pick your locks (unless you are being targeted for international or industrial espionage).
enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits
Bsky, if you are not going to offer to translate bleets for me, please stop showing me bleets in Italian, French, Spanish, etc. You should know me well enough by now.
Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
I forgot about that. I have always like the Rescue Rangers
I would like to see Baloo doing screen tests for Michael Madsen's part in Kill Bill, or Chris Penn in Reservoir Dogs. I think Tarantino could find his real range.
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
No notes
Stephen Miller did what?
Uhm, he is Baloo. He didn't have much range, and even in Robin Hood, you could tell he was still Baloo.
I have often told people that Disney's Robin Hood is just the cast from The Jungle Book wanting to work together again. Some of them got together later to make TaleSpin, but not the Fox. The Fox is a movie star and does not do TV
My weird impossible thing I want is that I think the fox from Disney’s Robin Hood should be in more movies. Like not the voice actor (though he was awesome) or the character of Robin himself, but the nonexistent imaginary cartoon fox actor who PLAYED Robin, because that guy is the best
We all need a friend like Frog
Is Davross an actual name that people gave to children before Dr. Who? If that is the case, how does anyone give it to a child now?
Not to mention that this doesn't do anything but destroy a small boat and a low level smuggler in the organization. I'm sure they have hundreds of other boats and smugglers ready to go. You arrest them, and work up the chain to the next higher distributor. That's how you stop it.
Guess what USMC and National Guard? You followed illegal orders. It’s almost like we all stood in the streets and yelled it in your faces. apple.news/AI2Kh-eP0R-y...
File this under "No shit, Sherlock" Funny how "Posse Comitatus" used to be a right wing militia rallying cry against gvmt overreach
Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
The proper way to rid yourself of a used broken German car
It is really funny that the basis of Auto Union's supremacy was buying the tooling from American company Rickenbacker in 1928, the company named after an American WWI flying ace en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickenb...
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
It ended up bogged down in minutia about collector car plate, limited, use, insurance, etc. The point is going to be moot soon enough as none of the smog shops want to keep the rolling road equipment and doing these more complicated tests. B.A.R. is going to lobby to stop testing pre-96 OBDII

Danny Elfman, Keith David, and Janell Monae, but wait, bonus John Stamos!
Raleigh brought back the Chopper in 2023 and I'm just now hearing about it? www.raleigh.co.uk/gb/en/bike-k...
“We have observed approximately 90% of the workers targeted for terminations due to a perceived association with diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are women or nonbinary,” said an attorney representing federal staffers. (Published June)

The fact that I am inexplicably late to the press conference explicitly intended to prove I'm alive and well is raising questions already answered by this press conference
"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)
I realize I have been confusing Governor Pritzker with Luis Guzman as Gomez Addams in Wednesday
I may have bought an El Camino this weekend, in the same two-tone scheme as this shirt. This is definitely going to fix me.
"Yes, during Homecoming, he did erect a Confederate statue on the field while shouting a full-throated defense of eugenics into the loudspeaker. But what are we supposed to do? Buy entirely new sweatshirts?"
They sold it, but I found a different one that I am supposed to pick up on two weeks
Welcome to the Monday-est Tuesday of the year
I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that the old world is dying. And, my stars, the new world is struggling to be born. And now is the time when you meet such INNNNteresting monsters.
So what, bug deal. I did this in the 1990s on a motorcycle from the 1970s and little to no money. Of course, I didn't have a digital camera or a drone.
My problem with the society for creative anachronisms was always that they weren't creative enough. It was always medieval folks in modern times. Where were the time travels from the future? The frontiersmen? The people from the post war era?
The problem with the gondola as transit is that it is specifically taking spectators to a ball game. 50K people want to get there at the same time, and leave at the same time. They don't want to wait in line to take a gondola 2 dozen at a time, and you can't add gondola frequency like a train or bus
Being humiliated in and by the city of Los Angeles is Frank McCourt’s kink. He just can’t get enough.
Yeah, there might be some, but they aren't going to be online or anything. My twenties (as far as the internet knows)
Can you imagine how fucked up that drive would have been if the truck was full of something heavy?

i really think jd vance is the fakest politician i've seen in my lifetime. there is nothing sincere about him.

Sure would be nice if some of these 2A people would do something about all the tyranny
Junior is giving America a real time lesson in just how easy it is to be rich and successful if you are in a wealthy powerful family, even if you are as stupid as the family dog. One of the Portuguese Water Dogs Ted gave Obama could have graduated Harvard, as long as its name was still Kennedy
If you have never seen 2001: A Space Odyssey in an actual theater, you've never really seen that movie. Same for Lawrence of Arabia (Imagine this desert scene filling your field of vision)
Just to fuck with everyone, she should name it Jesus II
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
I am not really worried about microplastics and forever chemicals. I'm more worried about the macro plastics and chemicals that break down inside me.
I think it depends on what the business is. E.L. Payne plumbing and heating in L.A. has done a great job since they went retro with PT Cruisers, then Scions, then Nissan Vans. The wrap has to match the company and business
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Wut?
I have 2 questions 1) Are skinny ties back in? 2) Do the right conditions involve you ingesting the tie?
When David Lynch said "Fix your heart or die" it was a warning. When Mike Johnson says it, it is a threat.
This was such an idiotic idea, until you realize that McCourt sold the dodgers, but still owns the parking lot. He would have made a lot of money from this gondola system putting the terminus there.
Post a movie from the year you were born
I may have a pair of Cerriani eye to eye shocks you can have for that
i assume he was quietly transferred to another server
I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences
Did I mention buying 3 totes of old cameras and stuff last week? In them in a 1950s Exakta VX 35mm German SLR with Ziesse lens and an Ansco Memar Pronto which both seem like really nice cameras. I do not have any pictures of them or taken with them yet
I installed Emtek on my sister's Dutch door, but not the keypad. I put a lever/deadbolt on the bottom half, and deadbolt on the top, with a slide bolt to lock them together. Seems like a lot of hardware, but the lower one is one backplate like a mortise set.
Is the hardware Dutch? Or is is a dutch door?
The problem is so many of these people are "responsible gun owners" right up until they start killing people
We really are going to be fucked if any sort of incident happens that requires our military, or FEMA, or the CDC, to respond like they normally would.
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
More than anyone else, it is clear the Miller is calling the shots at the Whitehouse. Remember how he approved the strikes on the Signal group chat?

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Hey uhh, holy fuck. #weirdcarbs
It’s kinda wild that Harvard has those billion dollar endowments but the most consistent level of excellence it has gotten out of graduates has been comedy writers for Futurama
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
