Bad Bunny thanked his mom
for having him in Puerto Rico, told the people on the island there's nothing they can't do, and dedicated his award to all Latinos and to immigrants who keep pushing forward with a lot of strength.

I'm sorry this is not to detract from the horrors but what the fuck is with the typeface on that sign.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

People say there has never been a truly perfect Star Wars experience and that's how you know they never played the Ladder Map in Jedi Outcast.

Yes, it is scored to Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up, and the song starts when you ignite your lightsaber and begin to move.

They keep adding more things as excuses not to plow. They could do half of the path and there'd be more snow for winter and the walkers and runners and cyclists could still use it, alongside the snow people.

One guess is maybe they just don't want to plow all 60+ miles

At the heart of every well used US transit system is a piece of infrastructure that was built over 100 years ago that you simply could not build today under any circumstances.

They've managed to do decades of damage in less time than it's taken me to finish painting my kitchen
In 2025, departures of govt scientists outnumbered new hires by a ratio of 11 to 1. This reduction in STEM PhDs translates to 106k yrs of federal work experience across 10,000 employees. These talents will take their expertise elsewhere. Experience is indispensable.

Theres some wild anti-swedish racism in the history of Providence urban renewal which I think is neat (derogatory)

While many small businesses and residents have done their part to clear their sidewalks, there are large businesses ignoring the law.

When I’m Mayor, we’re going to hold these large businesses accountable!

It’s a shame our current Mayor has been too busy at an out-of-state conference to care.

What kills kids in America:

1. cars
2. guns

Guess what the GOP has worked relentlessly to support for half a century now?
Gov. Landry: "I like to ask Democrats if they like their communities to be dangerous or safe. Do they want their children to be able to walk to school or do they want to worry if they send them on the sidewalks, that unfortunate violent things are going to happen to them?"
