Public hanging of whoever screwed up the marble in the concrete garden.
Dude has a case of Dreamworks Face... tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...
Companies will deploy AI to fact check responses from AI, and with any luck they'll all end up like the Nomad probe from Star Trek.
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Maybe if the Ten Commandments had been hung in Ken Paxton’s school he wouldn’t have ended up becoming... Ken Paxton.
One wonders if Judge Allman has sent any sternly-worded First Class mail to a certain Oval office occupier who regularly posts anti-jurist content *on his own social media site* that results in *thousands* of responses *much worse* than that of Ms Kitty?

This is, I swear to Christ, the lead story at the Atlantic Monthly right now
Sure sounds like Kunal Anand is admitting to filing bad-faith DMCA takedown notices here. www.404media.co/how-onlyfans...
Here in Columbus they would have just left that thing double-parked beside the mini-ute and walked in to get their food.
A good time to reup this "Peanuts" strip from January 7, 1967, back when there was ample living memory of how terrible measles was and why we should want to eradicate it.
This is what happens when all the news one consumes is covered in animated emojis.
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
This is the part where people should ask the same damn question they asked for *years* following 9/11: “How were they radicalized?"

> Abbott praised legislative leaders for their work in passing the bill, adding it “ensures fair representation in the United States Congress for Texans.” < For “Texans”. Yeah, right. I really don’t know what’s more absurd: Abbott actually saying it, or people actually believing it.
There's very little that the billionaires hate more than workers having rights.
Love her! 💪 #Pinks #ProudBlue

It died the moment it was hung around Gym Jordan’s neck.
8 cops making over $100k each to arrest one man. But your food, water & air are killing you. Your daughter is carrying her rapist’s baby to term & will probably die when it becomes complicated & your veteran son in jail for being unhoused. But at least that Brown guy sitting on a bench is gone.🙄
Next up: “MAGA refuses to attend the Met Gala”
I’m just picturing Rudy showing up for a Newsmax hit in the classic “whiplash fraud” trial outfit: head bandage, massive neck brace, fake arm cast, cane...
Floor Is Maga
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
Maybe he gifted some of his ear to Trump... kinda like a donor match :)
If it’s the same guy, he apparently now works for / with Barstool Sports, so this tracks... people.com/sports/jon-g...
"officers were still investigating and had not arrested anybody" We have 15 law enforcement officers show up for every traffic stop in DC right now, but when a lunatic shoots and murders a 5th grader having harmless fun in Texas, we're "still investigating"
Roughly two Scaramuccis or just under one-half a Liz Truss.

Coming to Netflix: “50 (missing) First Dates”
NEW: 72 of the 76 Guatemalan children previously boarded onto planes have been returned to ORR custody, per DOJ, with the remaining 4 expected to be returned in the next 15 min. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Did the cop's Sandwich K-9 alert on this guy or something? “Sir, we believe there’s mayonnaise residue on your hands..."
Holy crap - I didn’t know Missouri bigot Valentina Gomez had stuffed her trashy ass into a carpetbag and gone to Texas to run for Congress... apparently against Dan Crenshaw. I expect her entire campaign to be this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWRz...
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
You’d think one of those magical $100B “AI” meme-generator farms would have figured out a way to do that easily.
“..and don’t let the bedbugs... uh..."
Cool piece on the damage to and rebuilding of some of the smaller roads in post-Helene Tennessee... www.youtube.com/watch?v=knfM...
DIdn’t Trump pull this same crap with a judge or prosecutor in one of his cases last year or before?
What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/
That’s perfect. I wonder if she also watched the last few minutes of Nolan’s “Batman Begins" for a little extra inspiration.
For people asking about the 600 number, that appears to have come from the original CNN report — www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... — and was in the complaint. But, per the DOJ's status reports, it appears only 76 children were involved in today's stopped flight(s). As such, they are being returned to ORR.
And wasn't there something a couple days back about the “Pentagon Pizza Delivery Meter” showing a sudden spike in activity? I mean, outside of Signal it’s probably the best indication of something going on there.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
The way that guy golfs I don’t think putting a rifle in his little mitts is a great idea. Unless Stephen Miller is out in front scouting, of course.
Yeah, because there’s only ever one single copy of a thing on the internet :) “Ms. Streisand to the white courtesy phone, please."
Yeah, that reads _significantly_ different from Giuliani’s version of events.
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
“That’s what I’ve been told” is the go-to response for this entire administration... and it’s almost always a crock of shite.
> personas who use Word salads to try to get their points across < Well, you *do* quote Trump and his enablers verbatim - so technically true :)
I’m starting to think maybe some folks aren’t really grasping what this account is all about :)
All it will take is a flyer or two about men in the ladies room.
The only posts I’ve reported are those fake BlueSky accounts that pop up trying to sell knock-off “mundus sin Caesaribus” sweatshirts... and the main reason I report those is in the hope the *real* BlueSky will do another run of official ones.
Right. Same thing as 2020 [see below].Through 2 debates and a session on Economics in Chicago during the 2024 campaign I never heard a reporter bring up the cost of the 2020 tariffs & the bailout to farmers WE paid for to cover Trump’s tariff folly. I’m sick of it. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...
> Cornett’s defense attorney...also pointed to his client’s severe alcoholism and said Cornett was blackout drunk when he shot the victims. < And somehow this is the *least* fucked up thing about this.
Pulte’s family business made billions telling people they should just go ahead and claim primary residency because no one would ever bother to check. This is like if Richard Sackler had become HHS Secretary and started charging doctors who were political enemies of overprescribing opioids.
Because we are among the world's biggest human rights violators now. And allied with not one but two ajudicated war criminals. Well done, maga. You ended the empire.
"In a hotel-turned-campus on a reclaimed island in Malaysia, crypto and tech entrepreneurs are... getting schooled in a radical blueprint for creating new sovereign states from scratch." The approach entails destroying the political, social and economic infrastructure of existing states.
I wonder how long it will take for Trump to get on his Temu Twitter and proclaim "Executive Orders are meaningless".
And you know damn well the Feds are charging him a daily fee for that monitor.
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
You know how Republicans have for decades pushed that old trope about *a certain demographic* having no father figures? Yeah, that was projection as well.
Poor Erick keeps stepping on that “Find Out” rake.
Megan McArdle, call your office... wapo.st/4fX2nzc
And some of those squad cars.
"You can argue that a Fed governor has to be above reproach." As should, you know, Supreme Court justices or the President of the United States. But hey, I guess we'll have to “pardon” Megan for her oversights.
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
why do the bananas need to move around
> ‘I don’t know the guy but my sense is that he has had a very good life in this country,’ said Vance on Zohran Mamdani < The unbridled arrogance of this fucking piece of shit...
> During his first term, President Donald Trump accused VOA of speaking “for America’s adversaries — not its citizens.” < Ok - I had to look that one up, and it’s as utterly moronic as one would expect from these fecking Trump clowns... apnews.com/article/fa95...
The gun industry's secret project fundamentally transformed the American lawmaker. In a span of a few years, state and federal politicians morphed from actively seeking solutions to "thoughts and prayers." Read these two stories to find out how. www.propublica.org/article/guns...
“On Sunday (Aug. 17), an usher for the evening Mass at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart in Washington's Columbia Heights neighborhood was detained by federal officials just three blocks away from the church while walking to worship.” www.ncronline.org/news/feds-ta...
Oklahoma has clearly decided on the Judge Smails approach to education:
R.E.M. “pushed the boundaries” of alternative rock Herbie Hancock “pushed the boundaries” of jazz Trump & RFK Jr. are “destroying public health & will be responsible for killing people” What is journalism, anyway? 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Right now, I’d say the most valuable skill would be “Detecting errors and outright BS in AI output".
2025 Democratic politics is that scene in every 70s movie where somebody gets their car stolen and runs down the street shaking their fist in the air yelling, "Hey, that's my car!!!"

Dunno what Garrison will come up with, but I’ll bet the Jon McNaughton “Trump welcomed at the pearly gates by every dead Republican* imaginable” is gonna be off the charts. *(except for the ones who hate Trump)
Rubio running in doing an Alexander Haig impression.
That TV lady just *asking* Vance if he thought he could do the job must have been a sharp kick to the dangly bits as well.
In today’s episode of “The Enshittification of Everything via AI":
Republicans are trying desperately to consolidate power into a full-fledged dictatorship.
And that he caught it from RFK Jr.
Most of us are old enough to remember when conservatives would wail that "something needs to be done about all these teen pregnancies”, it meant mandatory abstinence-only sex education. Of course we all said this would likely mean *more* teen pregnancies, and apparently they knew it as well...
What even is going on with that chart?
Technically true: he’s impulsive *and* short-tempered.
Meanwhile, window-lickers like Rand Paul want to throw Fauci in prison for... something?
> In May 2023, he tried to withdraw his guilty plea, arguing that he didn't understand the terms of the plea agreement. < That part makes me laugh every time I read it.
I’m guessing that “I Did That!” meme is gonna boomerang on them as well.
Melainie had StaffGTP crank out a doe-eyed letter to Vlad, and that somehow merits a Nobel Prize? Sure... maybe if there’s a “comedy” category.
