Is this what the Post's Pulitzer Prize winning journalists do now?
Report on fringe Twitter accounts seems like quite the fall from grace.

I have many thoughts about the shooting in DC, but I have one for the West Virginia governor that said announced the deaths before backtracking.
That’s some fucking bullshit. He could 100% wait to say anything until family is notified.

Even if transfers can and do happen, that shouldn't allow for a presidential pardon if that's the idea (although she could get the Ghislaine Maxwell Prison Penthouse Treatment).
NEW: Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), who is running for Gov in 2026, says Colorado should not turn over Tina Peters to the Trump administration.
Gov Jared Polis (D), who is term-limited, has not said if he will free Peters from state prison under pressure from Trump.

In the least surprising news ever, Elon's Boring tunnel in Nashville has stopped construction.
They've not paid the contractors while also trying to poach employees.
Also, multiple unanswered OSHA filings.

Okay I was wondering why my post about sexual harasser Brett Ratner popped off for a bit today.
Didn't know his buddy Trump, who also got Amazon to give Ratner some of that $40 million for the Melania documentary, is more focused on a new Rush Hour than actual issues in the country.

Wait, Brett Ratner? The same Brett Ratner accused of sexual assault and/or harassment by Olivia Munn and Elliot Page?
That's the guy who Bezos wants to pay?
Trump's election really brought back all the fucking assholes didn't it.

So let me get this straight: one of the largest companies in the US, which is facing numerous labor and antitrust proceedings from the federal government, has written a check for $40 million to the incoming president's wife? Do I have that right?

Four days ago, I had a slight sore throat. Three days ago, the sore throat got worse. Two days ago, I had a fever of over 100. By yesterday it mostly cleared up.
Thankful for the flu shot I got just a month ago.

I really hate how much we as a society forgot how great masking worked a few years ago.
Hell, I still argue that food service workers need to wear masks.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Personally, I would like to see a series on political parties in the US.

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

On any digital storefront like Switch or PS Store, or even streaming services, I should be able to block any game/movie/TV show I will never see or play.
The fact I have to scroll through some of this garbage annoys me.
