Per local news, he was riding in a ford bronco going NB on 93, driven by some guy from Michigan. The girl was driving the CRV that hit them. The DV was SB on 93 and had nothing to do w Rudi (it’s why EMTs were at the scene so quickly) so unclear why they tried to include that in the story.
Oof. If WDW, I worked at Universal for one whole week before quitting 😂 and I lasted like two years working overnights at the 7-11 on East Colonial (east Orlando) likely around the same time (1995) based on the pay.
I had other jobs (babysitting, family/friend hires) but first “job” job was working overnight at a 7-11 making $5.50/hr. I’m still leery of soda fountains.
I’m glad Netflix made a deal that didn’t cut out PBS but please don’t pretend this was some altruistic endeavor. Netflix got a great deal on proven content that will lure a key demo (kids) to their app where algos will then get those kids hooked on more Netflix content.
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
Mary Shelley wrote an entire book trying to warn us about extremely arrogant nerds who create things irresponsibly and take no accountability for them for when they wreck society, by the way.
in Florida, the citizens now put the Gay Flag 🏳️🌈 on potholes so the government officials will overreact and immediately send repair crews niiice
It’s not a clone. finding a body double when you look healthy is hard enough, finding one that looks sick is both extremely hard to do AND partially defeats the purpose of a public appearance. It’s him with edema, likely hopped up on drugs to keep him alert.
U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for: 700,000 public housing units 500,000 low-income kids receiving health care 500,000 veterans receiving VA care 600,000 kids in Head Start Combined.
I know we’ve said this before but (assuming they’re National Guard) these people were called away from their full time jobs and their families for this “gardening emergency” 🤬 I love a good mulched bed but this is so wasteful and evil and stupid on every level.
I’m more worried they seem to be implying kids have to be “visually inspected” to determine their gender. By WHOM?
Many apartments don’t have laundry hookups, nor would tenants be allowed to install them - especially older apartments in cities.
You are lucky. as a teen i had to fly with a broken leg in a cast from Tel Aviv to NYC on Tower Air and they gave me an aisle seat in the middle of coach but it was on the wrong side (broken leg in vs out), next to a pregnant woman who had to get up every 5 minutes to pee. Miserable for both of us.
On the almost zero chance this kid’s parents are “anti lunch”, I can promise the kid isn’t telling his parents he’s getting fed. My mom was a health nut; I did not tell her my friend swapped half her Nutella sandwich for half of my “nothing but peanuts” butter sandwich for all of 3rd grade
I thought there effectively *wasn’t* an interior because just about everything is within 100 miles of a coast or an international airport?
Here's something I think a lot of folks don't yet understand, but 16 states' worth of CVSes refusing to give out Covid shots *is* actually preventing people from accessing them. They are the biggest pharmacy chain in the country and they own Aetna insurance, often forcing those clients to use CVS.
How the UN hasn’t *left* the US is beyond me. They have to know they’re putting delegates in danger just by having them come here at this point.
Creepy AF 👇
Very disappointed New Hampshire isn’t part of this group. Kelly Ayotte doesn’t give a 💩 about the health and safety of the people of NH.
I thought it was a typo and the writer meant Chad!? There’s no reason for her and Brady to be bonding over anything 🙄
You have to love soap timelines- Ari was born in 2013 and Charlotte in 2018 but one is starting college and the other is starting kindergarten 😂
(Contd) want to do all of that, you could make HUGE gains by building micro-units of affordable housing, connected to public transport. It’s not that there aren’t solutions, it’s that the folks in charge aren’t interested in actually solving the problem and opt for performative cruelty instead.
It’s actually not that expensive *in the long term* to build a housing funnel with various levels of support based on need (rehab, shelters, temp housing, vouchers/UBI depending on where they are in their journey). If we can build a $200M tent camp, we can solve homelessness and even if you didn’t
Unless he’s thoughtfully moving them and their stuff into some sort of housing (he’s not) this is just cruelty. Running a tornado through their temp shelters only makes their situation worse and leaves them *still homeless but more traumatized*.
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
&, as the NYC Mayor’s Primary shows, they KEEP running it even after the voters have made their choice. Given the choice between a progressive actual Dem nominee and a 3rd party “centrist”, they still won’t back the progressive. It’s “vote blue unless they might rock the donor gravy train”. 2/2
I think what folks are likely maddest about is the DNC and Dem Leadership repeatedly turning their guns on progressive popular candidates while simultaneously doing shit-all against actual opponents (GOP). We don’t have to have proof of Platner specifically to know they *always* run this play 1/2
But also… BlueSky has *always* been disproportionately left of center so what hallucinatory bullshit even is this?
I’m more surprised that it sounds like his rank wasn’t yanked for treason? Seems like waging war against the institution would earn a very dishonorable discharge?
This isn't just a political claim, it's an empirical one. If "the problem is not guns" then we shouldn't see any correlation between gun ownership and oh wait platform.vox.com/wp-content/u...
I’m not sure he wouldn’t *proudly and knowingly* hang a portrait of McVeigh
Also just sounds like a bunch of fatphobic nonsense?
This has so much “show me your papers” energy that it feels like they’re literally getting their ideas from watching old WWII movies…
70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.
I just caught a few minutes of some radio show on NPR called “the middle” where apparently they invited a Democrat and Republican on to talk about their “impressions” of ICE activity with zero facts or context from the moderator. That’s not “middle”, it’s just lazy and irresponsible bullshit.
Give us a break. The only action you guys have taken is to weaken gun laws, allowing scores of criminals to get guns; shut down funding for anti-violence programs in our cities; close the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. You've taken action - and it's gotten people killed.
The point was cruelty; the waste, fraud, and abuse are just side effects…
the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10% $1200 can be life or death at that level of income top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"
Maybe they'll eventually regain their nerve, but for the moment, JB Pritzker appears to have single-handedly spooked the Trump administration into backing down with one 12-minute speech.
Oh, I assumed it was on demand
Chuck Schumer (and the rest of the normy DNC) has always been Lucy with the football except they continue to queue up to kick a football that *hasn’t even existed for 30+ years*.
I have to believe the *former DOJ employee* was banking on DOJ massively overcharging and thereby scuttling their own case when he did it.
This is great but would love to see focus on growth of affordability gap (I think change in median rent as % of median income would be a good proxy). It’s not (really) that rents went up 10%/year, it’s that wages went up far less than that.
Even if you don’t read, how have you not seen the movies, the tv shows? Heck, even Downton Abbey had an underlying “WWI was terrible” thread running through it!
Most countries on the planet have stopped allowing their postal services to ship items to the United States, and services like DHL have done the same, because our government can't even tell them what the import duties would be. Mainstream press isn't reporting this and innumerable other shitshows.
What’s funny is that almost no one thinks the award means anything significant. Kissinger got it for Vietnam in 1973, Chamberlain got it in 1925 for “preventing war between France & Germany”. It’s not indicative of being particularly effective at long term peace.
He’s clearly a white supremacist asshole but he’s too anti-government to actually be a fascist. He’s one of the very few “libertarians” who didn’t completely scrap the ideology entirely as soon as the spending was for white supremacist programs.
I still don’t understand why the stock market hasn’t dropped like a bomb. It still feels like a game of chicken where the whole market is acting like meme stocks and everyone is waiting for everyone ELSE to panic vs rational markets acting on underlying facts.
My dogs love the minty dental chews AND my 10yr old just got a “wow, his teeth look great for his age” so I think they work! (Note: I actually use purina’s version because they’re cheaper 😬)
I don’t think it’s his health; with decent doctors, you can live with CHF for decades. I think a) they know the further they’re able to push their agenda, the harder it’ll be to undo & b) they’re worried if midterms put House in D control, it will slow them down/make it harder.
I’m trying to imagine a situation where a driver is accelerating toward me and my decision is to stand there, aim & fire a gun at the driver vs moving out of the way and is it just me or does that seem bonkers? Feels like if you move out the way he what? Damages your cruiser?
There’s a place for permanent columnists for columnists who have fan bases (usually humor, advice, etc) that drive readership. No one’s keeping their NYT subscription so they can read Bret’s shit takes 🙄
South Korea trolling Trump in the oval and Trump… doesn’t seem to recognize when he’s being called out?
No Moore didn’t say this because it’s a lie stemming from incompetence and ignorance. Baltimore CITY has been in the 550k range for a while. Baltimore COUNTY (which doesn’t include the city) is ~900K. Confusing the two is likely how this BS started.
I… what? I’m not sure I’ve ever met a Quebecois who didn’t speak *at a minimum* French and English (I live in NH). The only way to get that impression is to be so insufferably rude that they’re all pretending not to understand you.
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
When the NYT engages in agenda journalism, they show what makes them mad (black lady is president of Harvard) and what doesn't (people getting black bagged to Uganda)
Should take 100% of SpaceX and rename it NASA
BREAKING: Jenny Durkan hired by White House to lead Department of Government Coverups
But only *some* commandments - they’re totally cool with ignoring like 600 of the 613 commandments.
There’s one in Tewksbury (or maybe North Andover?). Also in Tewksbury? Vic’s Waffle House. Locally owned and like a gizallion times better (get the fresh squeezed OJ and the has brown works - you won’t be sorry!)
putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.
Living in NH is the most rural I’ve ever lived so even after 5 years it still freaks me out a bit 😂 (also I think it’s super cool you have a phd in the tenach!)
We have coyotes too 😭 I have an invisible fence so the pups won’t go into the road and the pups are pretty loud when they see other animals so I’m pretty sure most predators won’t bother with them but I still worry 😬
These shots were taken in my part of town and posted online. Absolutely gorgeous bobcat but I *really* wish they weren’t so close to where my dogs play. Hope they stick to hunting deer!
That lettuce tower looks amazing!
“We needed food, yes. But not like this. Not at the cost of my father’s life. Not at the cost of our dignity.” interc.pt/4lLcTuT
Do nothing - while at the same time sending me texts to raise more money so you can *continue to do nothing* I got a fundraising text from Hassan who’s term doesn’t expire until 2029 saying she “needs funds to fight back against Trumpism” as if she doesn’t ALREADY HAVE THE JOB AND ISN’T DOING 💩
I get that most tech bros are evil but this is stupid. I overhear moms talking about their kids not eating veggies all the time but I’ve never concluded that means it’s all they ever talk or care about. They talk about that in cafes because they *don’t* talk about it at work.
If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.
I thought they mostly liked it for the racism 🤷🏻♀️
Glad to see it was paint - it looked like chalk when I saw the pics yesterday.
Well, I sometimes read the AI generated review summary but only because it’s there. It’s not “assisting”.
If Biden had taken 10% of Intel, at least it would have been in exchange for the billions in Chips Act funding granted to the company. Trump's taking this in exchange for deciding not to destroy the company. It's literal protection money.
Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge. *Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump. *When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/politic...
I think both countries have extradition treaties with US which could make a very sticky situation I’m not sure either country is willing to create. That said, he absolutely should show up at the Canada border and try to get asylum as he’s got a very good case.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Did any one of the so-called “press” ask him to name the 7 wars? I’ll give him a free pass on the 3 “pre wars” if he can name seven actual wars that he’s been involved with ending.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
It’s currently just rusty metal - I think black paint might actually make it safer to touch 😂
Um… isn’t unpainted metal hotter than painted metal, even when it’s painted black? I haven’t done research on this but personal experience with black vs metal in high heat feels like it is. Isn’t the real reason because the wall looks like shit because it’s all rusted?
I’m not saying Maxwell is holding shit over Trump but I’d sure like to hear *any* other explanation that would make sense here…
It’s lovely but it’s *chalk* meaning it’ll wash away by like *this afternoon*
So was this “600B” really just the EU saying “global investors gonna invest and some of that will be in the US, sure!”
Unlike many rubes, David Brooks can’t pretend ignorance. He knows about Sinclair Media. He knows his own success happened in the very media he claims is biased against him. He’s not just an apologist, he is actively promoting fascist propaganda he knows is false. I’d argue that makes him a fascist.
that the phrases “intentionally destroying the economy” and “worst economic president of our lifetimes” arent being said everywhere right now by dem politicians makes my head want to explode
The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social
Getting people killed and destroying all of America’s soft power/credibility to own the libs 🤬
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
He is also completely wrong. 55 million is the total number of people in the entire world who hold visas which allow them to enter the United States.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
You’re telling me this guy is not a more desirable guy to promote than Gavin Newsom
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
Remember that Trump was also a Democrat in 1999, a lot can change in 25 years, and it’s very possible he was only ever a Dem in name because he was ambitious in a blue state.
I love that this is old school meme generation and not AI slop!
Allies of the fascist regime are referring to the residents of our capital city as “cockroaches.” This is explicitly neo-Nazi language used in service of making Jeffrey Epstein‘s best friend into dictator for life.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
How DARE you do the thing I just did? That’s illegal!
