All these people avoiding m-dashes because “AI uses them” simply means that there’s more for me!
time to completely neuter the presidency
shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
When things are this dire, I reread The Warmth of Other Suns and realize that leaving is a valid and life affirming choice. Spain seems nice.

This and the ballroom will make great practice fodder for first-time wrecking-ball operators.
Nothing says we're against clean air better than this. Stellantis and Ram are proud of their MAGA-friendly status and this is as cheap and as disappointing a sentiment as the painted plastic badge itself.

Ram’s ’Symbol of Protest’ V8 Badge Is an Actual Line Item on the Hemi 1500’s Window Sticker
Ram's so proud of its 'Symbol of Protest Badge' it's been made an actual part of the Hemi V8 package.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
These maps always get southern Maryland wrong. It's Tidewater, and the line sets at Accokeek Road across PG County. (How do you divide Chincoteague and Assateague between north and south?)
This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

I wish I could find the post, but someone on here recently pointed out that the elite pundit addiction to Twitter is distorting their worldview even further.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

If you have ≈ 38 minutes of free time, especially today, this video on the Golden Girls and its love by gay men is a great watch.
