But a poor guy in a dinghy and a single mother on welfare are the problem, and voting Reform will stop these rich fucks, righto?

The “Island of Strangers” speech by Keir Starmer and the two tier system currently being proposed by Shabana Mahmood would like to have a chat.

I get your intention is good, but when your party has spent most of the year using migrants as cudgels I would suggest some introspection is needed.

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

Almost a year into this presidency, Trump voters have gotten nothing except the Big Beautiful Bill, which was usual Republican politics of giving tax cuts to the rich and slashing social spending for the poor. Housing remains unaffordable, cost of living is rising, and manufacturing jobs fell.

On the 6th day of fossils, my true love gave to me...

6 Dimerocrinites crinoids.

This is a plate of early Silurian crinoids from Quebec in a tangled mess. With all the additional stems, you can imagine a "forest" of these crinoids on the seafloor.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Whenever I complain about America here I get dozens of replies being like "yeah Trump ruined this country".

Honey it was ruined long before Trump, he's just making it worse.

Regarding Epstein files:
It’s time to start arresting people, but who’s going to arrest them when they run DOJ?
What a freaking mess!

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.

This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.

The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.

Release the files. Immediately.

No.

Michael Phelps is the best human swimmer ever, and it was not close.

One of the stupidest things Shark Week ever did, in a long list of stupid things.

(When this came out, I offered to try and out swim a local aquarium zebra shark famous for sitting under a rock and sleeping all day)
Could Michael Phelps really swim faster than a shark?

In Illinois, ICE agents have been documented swapping license plates to hide their identity. Under Illinois law, this constitutes a Class A misdemeanor.

The state has made clear that this law will be enforced. Federal agents are not exempt from Illinois vehicle and registration statutes.
