It's always shocking how *actually* teeny they are. So much voice in so small a package!

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

I'm imagining historians reading this post 2000 years in the future and trying to determine where it belongs in the religious practices of our era. 😂

You can’t script it. The Mariners are willed to victory by Humpy the fish finally winning his first race in the middle of the 15th inning. The crowd chants “Humpy Humpy” as the trident crosses off the ALDS win.

Whoever it is, they need to go deep. Our bullpen is wiped out.

I don't think they'd have done what they did with both Walter *and* Luis if he wasn't going to be available.

I totally agree about the placement. I learned how to ID AI in still photos, and damn, now I have to learn all over again to see stuff in video. I'm so bitter.

TikTok takes down video of a real arrest (of the WGN camerawoman), but allows obvious 3-arm AI to go viral. Disgusting, dangerous, and destructive.

This is an AI generated video. She's holding the mic with her third arm. It's being shared around as fact. Extremely dangerous shit

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I'm sure opening the front door of US government data, security, and infrastructure and inviting in every hacker in the world is going to work out great for them. Keep it up, Republicans!

I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game

"This surveillance supersystem," Thiel wrote, could act as “a political framework that operates outside the checks and balances of representative democracy as described in high school textbooks.” www.wired.com/story/the-re...

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession

Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

Looking forward to numerous replies saying, "What's not working is you being appointed EIC of CBS News. Also, we don't use ChatGPT to [poorly] write our intra-office correspondence. It makes us look like hacks. (You did ask for bluntness.)"

Wait, Cuomo is calling Mamdani "the mansion boy"?

Second Ave. Sagas @2avesag.as · 1d

You can tell Cuomo's campaign has cooked its brain on Twitter because it's repeating nonsense talking points from people like Andrew Fine and Reza who claim only rich people use transit.

As of 2017, bus riders in NYC earn an average salary of $28K, well under subway riders ($40K).
