It's hard to be proud of journalism in US nowadays due to all the "not news but opinions" pretend-journalists in some channels, but we'd be really proud of each of them involved in this on Wednesday.

Y'all deserve a standing ovation 👏

BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs being removal from being at the seat of U.S. military power.

After all these years, I still consider this Epsy Gundam build is about the very best custom build Gundam I've ever seen. Great design, great details, great photography.

Didn't right out of the election Eric or Don jr. came out and said in 2nd term they plan to surround Trump with people less smart than him? It shows.

There is no shortage of brilliant lawyers in the US, of all political perspectives. So why does Trump surround himself with grifters and losers with a law degree and a gross disrespect for professional rules of ethics?

Oh yes the 7-11 in US feels like an also-run. Now they are aiming in the standard like QuicTrip or RaceTrac that actually serves reasonable quality food... and Japan 7-11 is beyond that level even... not sure they can do a 2-steps jump and land safely.

And it ain't Buc-ee's. Nobody is Buc-ee's.

Are you still fed up we paid for the cost of a power plant for years before it's operational?

Don't you find our power policy serves the public more? Needs a better balance? Better people in charge?

I love Japan 7-11 (and FamilyMart and Lawson) yet I seaworthy about the quality of food you’d get in US vs. in Japan.

I sincerely hope they succeed though as it’s a great experience to get variety of good low cost food there.

And while at it please bring in 7-11 limited gunpla 🙏

The Japanese parent company of 7-Eleven is betting billions of dollars that it can expand its business in the U.S. by making its convenience stores more like the food meccas they are in Japan. nyti.ms/3KTwGve

There are so many good content available now you are likely not gonna have time to watch everything you want to, yet they choose to distance themselves from full enjoyment by not focusing 100% to this only time you watch it.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

For those who can't join the No Kings protest this weekend like me, maybe you'd post a frog up on social media that weekend. I will.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.
