The real problem is that it's all single lane and people will wait for ever for someone to pull out rather than drive 15 feet to an open spot so we are all stuck behind them

Truly amazing how much fawning news media gave to Tom Cotton
"I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat loaded with drugs bound for the United States back over so they could stay in the fight, and potentially, given all the context we've heard of other narco-terrorist boats in the area coming to their aid to recover the cargo and recover those narco-terrorists," Cotton said.

incredible
“The names on this ballot, absent Mamdani, are candidates you could theoretically pull out 20 years ago, right?” he said. “New Yorkers know who Andrew Cuomo is. New Yorkers know who Eric Adams is. New Yorkers know who Curtis Sliwa is, right? So I’m just not sure what the campaign messaging, what the vision would be, to all of a sudden generate a turnout that neither one of these candidates has ever seen in their political careers.”

Naturally
So how did the Times, a pillar of quality British journalism since the 18th century, blow the story so badly? Part of the push came from the top. As the New York mayor’s race approaches, the Times of London has accelerated its push for more, and largely hostile, coverage of Mamdani. That campaign has been driven internally by Margi Conklin, a New York Post veteran who was most recently managing editor at The Free Press, and who assigned the de Blasio piece, per two people with knowledge of the situation.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
POLITICO Another shutdown consequence: Democrats can’t visit ICE detention facilities: Federal immigration authorities say they no longer have to provide on-demand access to detention facilities for members of Congress. The reason? The government shutdown. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, who have been fighting a lawsuit brought by Democratic lawmakers over prior denied visit attempts, have informed lawmakers that they simply don’t have the staff or funding to support those visits.

This is hell.
Tiffany Wheat, a luxury sales consultant, was single, tired of online dating and into astrology. “I decided to write a book about how to date me,” she said. But she did not actually want to write it. “So, I asked my French lover, le Chat GPT,” she said in an exaggerated accent. The next day, Ms. Wheat’s survival guide to dating Virgos was available on Amazon, for $4.98.

How could 2022 texts come "in the aftermath" of Sept. 10, 2025
@usatoday.com
Jones, a former state lawmaker from the Norfolk area, had texted a GOP lawmaker in 2022 that the state House speaker at the time deserved “two bullets to the head” and that he would “piss” on the graves of other Republicans. He had apologized in a statement about the texts. Critics highlighted how the violent language came in the aftermath of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 and other recent political attacks.

What is the final year of the Mayan calendar? What actress wore an infamous swan dress at the 2001 Oscar's? What does GOP stand for? What elusive character did more than 1,000 Rutgers students dress up as in April 2099, setting a Guiness World Recors? What floor covering is made primarily from linseed oil, resin, and wood or cork powder? What is the Konami cheat code that gives you 90 lives in the video game Contra?
