It's a big game of hot potato. Let's see who's left holding the bag (to mix my metaphors).

Jack Smith wouldn't be involved in the classified documents until months after the raid.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Look at this little wiener.

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

For those of us in higher education this company has snaked its way into our institutions—and this is the kind of care and thought they put into the risks of their products.
Do you imagine our students are safe with these people?

Then you don't have a business, dummy.

100 percent. Maybe we, as a society, shouldn't treat the guys who got lucky once on their timing and funding as all-knowing, all-seeing gods.

Is anyone else enjoying The Lowdown on FX/Hulu? It feels like people are sleeping on this one, much to their detriment.

There are several interviews with the cast of HBO's Silicon Valley where they talk about meeting people from the big tech companies and realizing how NONE of them considered that people might use their technology to do bad or even unintended things.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

“Hype, however, does not necessarily translate into sales. As of this writing, he has sold around 3,100 pendants — though he expects that will increase rapidly once the product hits retailers like Walmart sometime next tear. The ad campaign is still rolling out in Los Angeles, with Chicago up next.”

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

I'm not a religious man, but this is correct: you fucking pray for Dolly.

Spread PB on both slices. Then top with tuna salad. I could see my wife contemplate divorce the first time she saw me eat it.
