ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

Talk surrounding AI content echoes the early days of photoshop.
The key difference is that it takes less skill & resources to make sub-mediocre AI content than photoshop did in the late 80s.
10 years from now "AI slop" will feel dated as a term & only for the worst examples.

This touches on the problem of being on the top of any pyramid: followers, income, intelligence, political power, everything.

If you have more than 10k followers mutuals should be able to hit a “you’re being weird” button and once it gets to 50 clicks in 24 hours it sends you a pop up like “your friends are concerned. Maybe log off”

It's rare for me to read a trump headline that raises. I guess I gotta learn to expect more awful.
So old I remember when it was considered a political liability to hand out a presidential pardon to your son in law’s drug dealer buddy who went on to commit crimes of violence and sexual offenses. nypost.com/2025/11/11/u...
LI drug dealer freed by Trump now convicted of molesting his kids’ nanny and threatening synagogue congregant
Braun was first busted in 2010 for orchestrating a major cannabis distribution ring, smuggling millions of dollars worth of weed from Canada to New York.

Showing that no one that "defected" is up in 2026 highlights the unity of the DNC.
None of these people are defectors, these are the designated villains.
These are the people executing the will of the leaders of the democratic party.

A fair reading to call this a loss for Mamdani. Also, possible to see why it could be that Mamdani did this both strategically and/or from personal belief.
Our heroes don't need to be flawless or win every battle.
But we do need to hold them accountable.

Amazing how much terrible Cuomo packs into 60 seconds. Too much to list everything.
Adore former governor & son of a former governor talking about Mamdani's parents owning a mansion in Uganda.
Cuomo knows people have a problem with wealth but thinks that doesn't apply to him.

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
