welcome to america. you now need to carry two sources of identification while taking your kids to school in case the gestapo try and kidnap you and send you to an el salvadorian prison, and itâs unclear if thatâs even enough. 7 months in and weâre a âpapers pleaseâ police state.
Conservatives basically have a moral disability -- a pathological inability to extend empathy beyond their immediate circle -- and they don't even have the good sense to be embarrassed about it.
I mean, imagine admitting, out loud, to an audience, "I wanted to destroy Medicaid until *my* family needed it." I mean, maybe as a confessional -- confessing how broken & cruel you were, apologizing, seeking forgiveness. But that's not the tone! She's *proud* of it. She sees no problem!
Air crew check passenger boarding passes and ID at the gate in the terminal.
Yes! We will now have BC's unofficial best symbol. Put it on the flag (and then perhaps I will be inclined to vote for the flag next time).
Agreed. Both great options and representative of BC.
Yes. The crew literally does not get paid unless the plane is in the air.
Zohran is so good at this.
Maybe this is a boring or trite observation, but one thing that makes this so effective is that Zohran's talking like a normal human and not like every line has been vetted by 5 political consultants who haven't won a campaign since 1997.

They're also checking people's boarding passes before they get on the plane, ushering people in, etc. How is that not counted as work? How have the airlines been getting away with this?
I can't believe you wanted the flag to win.
Sure. I get the point about Ogopogo. Literally no one thinks about BC and immediately pictures the flag. That means it's a bad symbol.
thank bejeebus the flag isn't going to win - who the heck was voting for it?
Genital inspection is the world MAGA Republicans want. They're the pedo party, after all.
Biggest scandal in American history but our nazi-captured press still refuses to give it that kind of coverage
Yeah, are there like bots voting for this? Terry Fox is an international hero. No one in BC even knows what the flag looks like.
no
You seem to think "best symbol" has to have a positive connotation. Symbols can be negative. Also the fact that you're so indignant and serious about what is objectively a jokey/funny exercise is pretty bizarre.
A symbol is something that represents something else. In some ways, the N sticker is the best representation of BC: Flawed, expensive, but well-intentioned to improve society.
She'll either lie so she can be pardoned or the DOJ is threatening her to keep her mouth shut. Or else.
The N symbol is a ubiquitous and unique symbol of BC. It absolutely should be on the bracket.
Another sure sign that the fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus on X: "We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case." And says they're already in discussions with the administration.
As a casual observer who hasnât covered the Epstein case, I didnât think there was anything of note in these files⌠until people started going to these lengths to keep them secret.
This is decidedly the least competitive bracket. Pretty obvious choices in the first round for this one.
funny how when a democrat is in office, the papers are covered in pieces demanding he be bipartisan in everything he does, but when trump is like "the democrats are my enemies and i will cheat the american people in order to crush them" its like "wow donald's impressive winning streak never ends!"
This is amazing. Yesterday Trump claimed he talked to his uncle about how brilliant the Unabomber was when the Unabomber was a student of his at MIT. The Unabomber never went to MIT, he was identified in 1996, and his uncle died in 1985.
Next to Trump is Howard Lutnick, who was Jeffrey Epsteinâs longtime nextdoor neighbor (numbers 9 and 11 East 71st Street in NYC, respectively) and who bought his townhome from a trust controlled by Epstein and Les Wexner.
There are undoubtedly more files that haven't been released.
Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?
AI is really gonna take all the jobs. What writers could ever compete with this?
LLMs are less like Jeopardy contestants (who âwinâ if they get the right answer) and more like Family Feud contestants (who âwinâ if they guess the most popular answer).
They're gonna trade Marchment for cap space, and dump Dumba/Lyubushkin to some dumb dumb GM.
what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word
Availability/health is part of the package when paying a player. He is a physical player. He may be more liable to be hurt.
It's a more egregious version of the Chris Tanev LTIRetirement deal.
It's possible to hold more than one thought in your head at once, y'know. Multiple things can be true at once: 1. Expanding immigration is net good. 2. Expanding immigration is unpopular. 3. To advance other policy goals, Dems should not promote expanding immigration.
Thank god we got rid of DEI and brought back the meritocracy am I right?
both!
I know I am not saying anything new, but it never stops being remarkable what a completely vile person Trump is, and the full video is even worse than the pull quote.
Note also her career got fast tracked because she accepted an illegal campaign contribution from Trump in order to drop an investigation of his Trump University fraud while acting as Florida AG over a decade ago. Itâs just corruption all the way down.
This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
The Leafs are generating a lot fewer shots and chances at 5v5. This is indisputable. But now you're all about short-term goal-based results?
There is no plan. There is no 3D chess. The president has a toddlerâs understanding of the economy and will continue to just do things (and then undo them, and then do them again).
consider, they picked whichever Pope would piss off Vance the most
The bill will definitely increase the deficit, but they are literally not in the bill. They're not happening. The main things are what the GOP always does: Cut benefits (SNAP, Medicaid) and cut taxes for rich people.
I enjoy your articles and visualizations! Keep doing what you're doing, I think it offers a lot of value to newer baseball fans like myself.
People on the internet just have to be mad at all things all the time. They have no other life.
There won't be any crossers. The ideology of the CPC and conservative base has morphed (much like American conservatives) into nothing more than "owning the libs".
He would make tons of terrible accommodations to Trump. He's the only major party leader that actually thinks you can "negotiate" with Trump on a tariff deal. There's no negotiating with a dementia patient that doesn't even know what tariffs are.
Even if the popular vote is tied (which most pollsters donât believe is the case), the CPC vote distribution isnât efficient and the Liberals will still win the most seats pretty easily.
Mainstreet always go outside the consensus. Did it for the BC election recently too. They get to claim they were smarter than everyone if theyâre right, but just ignore if theyâre wrong. I donât take them seriously.
Alright, so if you're talking to a friend and they say, "I think the Liberal in my riding will win", then BAM, straight to jail. That is BAD. Also, what the hell is a "centrist-skewing poll"? So earlier this year when the polls had the CPC leading, were they not "centrist-skewed"?
So you're saying your position is untenable and unrealistic. Okay.
I've made it as a policy/politics nerd. @jmcelroy.bsky.social liked one of my posts!
Bear market rally. Once the hard data starts to turn when the tariff impacts really hit, will be another big drop.
You could argue the same of literally any polling. Or pundits going on TV talking about the election races. Your position is really to ban any polling or discussion of the probabilities of any candidate winning. That's not really tenable.
On the "heroic" growth assumptions that you'd need to underpin revenue growth in the CPC platform: Mike here has done the work to show what kind of growth you'd need to assume--growth would have to nearly double. Doubling growth would be great! Cutting EV mandates etc. isn't gonna get you there.
I was just at Penn Station. Functioned perfectly fine. Could it be renovated? Sure (though Moynihan Train Hall across the street is beautiful). Trump just wants it renamed Trump Station or some other bullshit because he's an egomaniac.
It is literally not gerrymandering. An independent panel draws the maps. They're not manipulated for political benefit of any one party - which is actual gerrymandering. Unless your definition of gerrymandering is literally just, "drawing ridings".
This was a Florida team without Barkov, Tkachuk, and Ekblad. Given that, wouldn't say it's encouraging they essentially played them to a saw-off.
Wouldn't be surprised if they view Marko Kart as more of a system-seller and moves more copies.
Just regular Republican activity. It's who they are.
So why put tariffs on Canadian oil and gas? No, there is no theory of mind or "understanding" that Trump has. He just has an affinity for Putin and Russian because Putin is an authoritarian dictator and Trump wants to be one (and also Russia has interfered with US politics to Trump's benefit).
Does it involve...building more housing? Is this possible?
If both premises are true (Mag 7 down, index mostly fat), it would necessarily have to be true that non-Mag 7 stocks are up.
My colleagues and I have been working to break news + write stories holding powerful people accountable. These are the top stories on our homepage right now, one of which I worked on. Our newsroom work is continuing. No one has ever told me what to write. If that changes, Iâd speak out and leave.
Polling. Basketball modelling. Pretty much end list.
Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
It's not bird flu, China discovered a new coronavirus in bats similar to COVID-19.
Silver loves to display an incredible ability to analyze some topics better than anyone, yet constantly wants to reveal himself to be an idiot on everything else.
What the NDP should actually do is a coordinated non-compete strategy. NDP runs in a handful of ridings they can plausibly win and don't compete against the Libs in the rest. Both parties are too stupid for this though.
It's not really that they are right-wing. We know that. It's that it's rightists who are exclusively in the "keep politics out of sports crowd", but constantly actually bring politics into sport. They're massive hypocrites (as most rightists are in all issue areas).
The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years
Well yeah. With Republicans explicitly trying to destroy America from within, literally anyone else is more patriotic.
Are you able to read? Or nah?
Lol. Lamarâs work has always been sharply critical of American society. But simpletons just see red, white and blue and think, wow, USA USA
LMAO. The Uncle Sam (Samuel L Jackson) character was a caricature of a racist America. Calling Lamar, âtoo ghettoâ, for example.
It wasnât patriotic. It was literally the opposite lol. Someone didnât pay attention.
How it started; how itâs going
Great piece! I'd like even more, longer-form posts on one topic like this
Hard to argue with the WSJ editorial page.
The Nazis decided to open a concentration camp at Dachau, in Bavaria, on March 9th, 1933 and it opened on March 22nd, less than 2 months after Hitler was named Chancellor of Germany.
if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools
"WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed... that her unsuccessful 2022 congressional campaign owes more than $300,000 in unpaid debts, with Leavitt failing to disclose for years that her campaign took in hundreds of thousands of dollars in inappropriate donations and never paid the money back"
imagine being afraid of trans people haha like just go on with your life dog what are they gonna do make you play warhammer with them
Timo's been quietly really good for the Devils. Not a dominating force, but solid.

LOL. Throughout the history of the indexes, the inflation average has been 3% and was higher for most of that time. It's really only the post-GFC that's seen 2% rates consistently. No, it has not always been 2%. This is literally false.
And that last 0.6% seems tough given things like PPI are ticking up, consumer spending is still ticking up, and Trump might just blow up the prices of stuff with tariffs.
Seems pretty unlikely.
Why is a TikTok ban dumb? Having a dedicated CCP spy/propaganda app beamed into every GenZer and most millennials seems bad.
