Trump’s “historic” visit turned into a comedy show — ignored by Herzog, corrected by Ohana, and stuck with a basic glass while everyone else had stemware.

The self-proclaimed “alpha” left the room humiliated.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

KARL: “Why haven’t you sworn in Adelita Grijalva?”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I’m following the Pelosi precedent with Letlow.”

KARL: “But that was the date Letlow requested.”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: 🤷🏼

I’m thrilled to be named one of @out.com's 100 top queer people of 2025 (and to come in first in the Disrupters category!)

It is a huge honor to be recognized alongside so many brilliant and inspiring individuals who are shaping our world and advocating for greater inclusivity and diversity.

The AWS outage exposes again that “the cloud” isn’t magic, it’s infrastructure. The issue isn’t a cyberattack, it’s architectural over-reliance on a handful of cloud giants. We centralized the internet and then made our entire lives dependent on it.

Mayor Karen Bass: Today, I called on Congressman Robert Garcia, who is the lead Democrat on the Oversight Committee, to hold congressional hearings looking into the abuses by ICE and what is going on with the administration’s attacks on cities.

We’ll be having a hearing soon.

Yesterday was the largest protest in our history w/7 million in attendance (not incl globally).

First No Kings was about 5 million.

We are making strides on the path to 3.5% needed to solidify democracy, enforce accountability & effectuate change.

1.5% more to go, about 4 million.

KEEP IT UP.

As we remain peacefully but firmly rooted in our cause, which is to say our nation’s fundamental principles, we become bulletproof.

Resist.

He’s seething because we are peaceful patriots, wielding the weapons of competency, intelligence, logic, and critical thinking.

His Insurrection Act threats are moot.

Dead in the water, and he knows it.

Hold the line.

The individuals seen with guns in the video are identified as instigators of the Gen-Z movement's violence in Nepal. They have been arrested by the government, and one suspect, previously involved in eight murders, escaped from prison.

Bhim Adhikari 🇳🇵 @bhimabish.bsky.social · Sep 9

Look at the youths infiltrating the Gen Z movement. They are carrying guns. Gen Z could never engage in such unethical acts. This group has freed criminals from jails across Nepal.

We are unsafe. The international media has not understood the truth.

(shouting to the press secretary) Can you confirm whether the diarrhea was pre-loaded onto the aircraft or was it coming directly from the president's Ass?
