Can you imagine how it would go over if the way bank robbers were caught involved burning the money taken?
I support people over corporations, the rights of women (and men) over their own bodies, the rights of children to live without fear, and the obligation of all people to help each other in making a better world.

No joke.
Wonder how many times THAT will blow up before they get it right. Or will there be a "Boca Chica Crater"?
Yep.
At 77, I have to agree. Not only does the DP need new blood, they need to be lead by younger blood. It was fine when "steady hands" were needed. Now what is needed are minds and bodies that can win the fight.
A terrible loss of ... yet another computer game played by overaged kids in the basement.
You need to be a lawyer to survive these days.
The Onion is irrelevant now. They can't make up stuff as crazy as Trump and the fascist Republican Party are doing.
He likely just wants a house away from the UK and the military bases Putin is targeting.
Here's something more important to mention, AP. War is coming. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was to secure ports. apnews.com/article/russ...
The poor and the middle class will suffer for anything Trump and the Republicans do. No matter what Republicans do, the rich will profit.
And what do they plan to do with it? Without it they can track any phone they want. The only purpose would be to spy on people. That's not their job. And certainly something that should NOT be done in the US.
Elevation of Huntsville, which is flat, is around 600 feet. Meaning if they dig deep enough to get away from a blast, they will be deep underwater. Hell, the local groundwater starts at around 45 feet.
Washington Post editors plan to keep helping the Trump administration survive one political firestorm after another, because those are their marching orders.
Breaking news: The Trump administration plans to move the U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, according to people familiar with the matter, marking the latest twist in a years-long partisan battle over the agency’s home.
High school cheerleader accused of instigating ‘love triangle’ fight that led to her boyfriend’s death
The great dream of princesses ... Having two men fight to the death over her.
Trump doesn't understand anything BUT bullying. It is his only tool in negotiation. Which means it only works when he has the upper hand. And he is rapidly pissing away that US "upper hand" because without our allies, it does not exist.
From a company that vigorously enforces its DRM and image, they play very loose with everyone else's.
Oh, for fucks sake. Kiss her ass, and her dad's there, IS.
Yeah, you just don't want this to work. And no, you aren't. You don't want this to be solved. Face it, you have an agenda. And no desire for a solution.
You don't understand the technology enough to understand how it works. And you don't want it to so you can be cranky. No, it can't be traced back. The Cert for AGE only contains all that is needed to confirm that the Cert user is of age.
Yeah, most kids refuse to learn how credit cards work until they are 25 and deep in debt. Even with "home finance" classes. Like math and science, the memorize then forget.
My bank already does this for purchases. And it can't be used to identify the purchaser.
I disagree. One way: Require banks issue a Cert to users linked to their credit card. It's just a hash and a PIN. You can go online and request a new one for every purchase, and specify if it can be used for age-of-majority only, or for purchases only, or both. Your "only way" is defeatist.
Since the SCROTUS ruled that fed judges can only rule in their areas, sounds like we need another judge to weigh in, or for SCROTUS to act quickly. And they would only do that to help Trump. SCROTUS=Supreme Court Republicans of the US SCROTUM=Supreme Court Republicans of the United Militias
Must have forgotten to pay his local bribes.
The boomer range is generally (not universally) given as 1947 to 1964. Some demographers declare it to be 1945 to 1965. So the age range of boomers today is about 61 to 78 by the first. The second would encompass someone who is 80.
Graham Greene, a trailblazing Indigenous actor whose long and successful career on the big and small screen included an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Kicking Bird in "Dances with Wolves," has died.
I've a master's in the subject and worked the field. So, no, it isn't. It's the opposite of clipper chip. 300 char isn't enough to explain, but it can easily be done. And I opposed the clipper chip.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Wrong thing for "all the right reasons" usually means worse things than doing nothing. The correct answer was to have established a means of certificates that allowed the website to verify age without identifying the customer. But lawmakers lack both tech expertise AND good tech advisors.
So, moving out of the nuke hardened facility and to one which couldn't withstand an attack by a scout troup? Just to own the libs? How droll.
If AI were so smart, wouldn't it be smart enough to recognize when it is being asked about or to do something that isn't legal, moral, ethical, or in assistance of the requester and general population? If it is not, why is congress not acting on regulation? Do they want dead bodies of children?
That is a quibble, not a fix.
That otter be better known.
Restoring the Orca population would fix the problem.
Yep. A lot of liberal drug users lie to themselves about the impact of their "recreation". Whereas the conservatives just don't give a damn and only drive a Musk eco-car to "own the libs".
Trump's fascist gov claims the models "overestimate warming". Yet the bald, simple, checkable truth is that all of the models underestimated the actual warming that occurred, and likely do so for future projections. Reality always wins. Liars appointed by Trump will one day wish they'd shut up.
Dozens of scientists today released a rebuttal of the Energy Department's climate report, saying it was riddled with errors.
President Donald Trump was dealt another legal loss when a federal judge ruled against his deployment of military troops to Los Angeles.
These awards Trump gives out will one day be viewed as a reason for shame on the part of the recipients and their familys. A declaration that they were chief among fascist collaborators. Ghouliani deserves nothing but jail time.
Gee, it's like we need something to prevent misuse of copyright, misuse of access, and misuse of control over mostly monopoly "services". Something like ... well thought out ... regulation?

They did this with every government database. The US screwed itself.
A DOGE whistleblower revealed that employees uploaded a Social Security database—containing full names, dates of birth, and addresses of hundreds of millions of Americans— to a cloud server without “independent security or oversight," creating “enormous vulnerabilities" to hackers. trib.al/FDTWG43
"Police is ...." OMG.
Don't leave your car running in the lane behind the crash while getting out to ambulance chase the folks in the crash you stopped to "aid". Who wants "aid" from RG? He's just not qualified to do anything but hand out his card.
Liar.
The CEO of a Polish paving company, Piotr Szczerek, said in a statement Monday morning he thought the player had offered him the hat for his sons.
That's what the BBB was all about: Letting rich people get richer and keep more of it. While taking as much as possible from the middle class and the poor. THAT is the GOP.
A real apology doesn't include excuses for inexcusable behavior. Just another rich asshole who thinks the word is his to take and the law isn't for him. He's only sorry he got caught.

Bring on the quantum navigation.
I've done my work and show it, you've done nothing but spout a number. Face it, you are all mouth.
Conservative owned and claiming religious (Christian) legal exemptions to avoid laws, Chick-fil-A shouldn't be supporting child labor. Unless, of course, it is all an act. Of, of course we know it's all an act. Conservatives are hypocrites on everything these days ... god, country, life.
Right at the moment, I'd say a lot of people have decided the planet is doomed, and they want to go out with the most toys.
Actually, it was rising at a constant rate even as membership continued to rise, then continued to rise even as membership dropped.
You need a fourth line ... CEO compensation.
This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America. The problem is not that America lacks abundance. The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding America’s abundance. www.levernews.com/the-labor-da...
I supplied a reputable and traceable number. You are supplying nothing. Simple statistics requires at least looking up 1 number.
Which takes nothing away from the fact that they are currently about even. To pretend there is any statistically significant difference which would impact elections isn't supported by the facts.
Looks like Merlin is stuck in his magical thinking, and can't be bothered by the math or the facts.
Gen X barely outnumbers Boomers. At 19.67:19.27, I'd have to say that gap has closed. And after covid, the average life expectancy dropped. Mostly due to the death of Boomers via Covid. So, yes, Boomers died disproportionately to the other ages. www.statista.com/statistics/2...
Boos now. But as the MAGAts find they have been bamboozled, will they turn to bullets? Enquiring minds want to know.
Republicans keep getting booed at their own town halls
ANY Trump.
It will be the end of the prize if Trump is awarded it.
I really don't care. Do You?
The incredible irony of all of this is that the group still has it's collective nose out of joint because it insulted American and then said "we don't give a f... we don't care what you think". Then didn't like it when America didn't like them? Group must still be on meth. Stupid f..kers.
The argument against Pasteurization isn't just weak, it's nonsensical. And idiots pushing it be stopped deserve a place in hell for playing that game. Because you know they aren't really drinking the bad milk. They just want you to.
Four decades ago, a multistate salmonella epidemic traced to milk from a Melrose Park farm sickened an estimated 168,000 to 197,000 people across the Midwest, according to Tribune articles at the time.
Republican heroes weilded the gun that killed 14 year old Emmet Till. All because they thought he had spoken to a white woman. Can you imagine what the GOP would say if a white teen was lynched by blacks for speaking to a black woman?
It is factually true. 99% of the great generation is dead. Half of all boomers are dead. If you don't understand that simple statistic, you need to go do your research. Start by looking at how many were alive in 1965, and how many now.
Keep kicking him in the balls, guys.
Nobody does vile comedy like South Park. But I wouldn’t have thought that the show still had the capacity to shock or impress me. I was wrong, writes @imogenwk.bsky.social.
Yeah, in 1992 my employer, who had all our 401K funds in their stock, froze our access then did a $13B writedown (after the company execs had sold their shares). Government did nothing about it. Let the execs take their profit. We lost 85% of our value. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
It isn't true. This is some piece of Gen-Z BS because they feel angry they aren't getting rich from their Instagram influencer account and got a job at NPR.
Boomers aren't getting rich. And with the exception of Gates, the Oligarchs are all Gen-X or Millennials. No, what's happening is MOST boomers are losing ground slightly, and almost all X, Y, Z are losing ground or not gaining. Boomers are mostly retired or dead now.
Americans once assumed their kids would be better off than they were. But business professor Scott Galloway says today's economic policies work to enrich Boomers and steal from younger generations.
And the Washington Post has no opinion on this abuse of children, I feel sure.
When “atrocities” are so easily sold as patriotism, is buyer’s remorse long to follow?
Lawlessness is the Republican way. They will only enforce the law against others, never themselves. They have no respect for the courts or the law. So, why should anyone else? The GOP is fostering anarchy.
She doesn't have any answers. Just insults. IOW: She's a Republican. No solutions, just creates problems.

Young people are now reporting the highest levels of misery of any age group, according to a new study. This may buck the long-established “U-bend of happiness” theory
If it's true, and not just a false claim by Israel, I've no problem cheering the death of a terrorist. But true or not, what is happening in Gaza isn't justified by the need to kill terrorists. Israel needs to stop its genocide.
Israel said that it has killed the longtime spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing via an airstrike on Gaza City, where it is planning an offensive.
After a month of shocking removals, resignations, and a shooting at the CDC, Democrats are demanding that the secretary go.
Simple answer is: Yes, Kristi Noem REALLY IS THAT STUPID.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced backlash after claiming Los Angeles "wouldn't be standing" if President Donald Trump hadn't deployed the National Guard in response to protests.
Post, you need to acknowledge your part in all of this.
Exclusive: In the first weeks of the current Trump administration, Justice Department officials gave a select group of top senior career attorneys a choice: They could either quit or go to a newly created Sanctuary Cities Enforcement working group. https://wapo.st/4mZZ2BC
