Dr. King did not ask us to wait for a better future. He demanded we build it. In moments of fear, intimidation, & discrimination, his lesson still stands: justice is not self-executing. We honor his life not with comfort or nostalgia, but with courage, action, & resolve. The work continues. Always

Because this administration is literally all about the grift.
We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

I don’t mean to be indelicate, but is it possible that Mike Johnson masturbates to Gary Cole’s scenes from Office Space?

These clunky, boxy eyesores are showing up in more driveways around town, I guess people have to store their crap somewhere but I wish they’d put these out of sight.

Perhaps they could put it inside of that portable storage unit.

For those of you submitting in advance, it never matters.

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

“When Trump fails, it’s really important to recognize that he fails. And why.”

Peaceful demonstrations in the streets are working. Legal resistance—especially promises of personal accountability for those who do Trump’s illegal bidding—is working.

Keep it up.

Everything terrible right now and that's a good reason to read stories about better worlds. The Redstone Rescue is available now on Audible and it lets you escape to adventure, mystery and romance, as our heroine fights to survive, defend her utopia, and find someone who appreciates her puns.

So has anyone spun up a generator that will email Pam Bondi from Hillary Clinton’s account with the subject “Release All Of The Epstein Files”, since that’s what the AG is focusing on?

Actual Play is like porn: Whatever you're doing at home is fantastic if everyone is having a good time and gives enthusiastic consent. What you see on screen may not be realistic, or even what most people find enjoyable.
Actual Play is like porn: it’s a genuinely amazing and interesting art form that deserves less scrutiny and disapproval from the general public

And people wonder why a common opinion is, “Maybe the United Healthcare CEO was the more evil of the two”
A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

trapped inside my burning CyberTruck, I frantically slam the Grok button. “WHERE IS THE EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE, GROK?”
“I hear ya, friendo,” says a robot voice. “We could all use an “emergency release”—especially white farmers in South Africa and the nation formerly known as Rhodesia.”

Trump's Big Fugly Bill is back in the House. These #CA Republicans are vulnerable in '26:

David Valadao #CA22
Young Kim #CA40
Ken Calvert #CA41

If you live in those districts, call the rep (202) 224-312 and tell them to #VoteNo -- like they promised -- to save Medicaid

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted
