JENNIFER LOPEZ, worship you, of course, but after four hubbies, I'm feeling some alone time at GOLDEN DOOR SPA may be warranted. Thoughts?

AG Pam Bondi's "style" is defined by cheap suits unbefitting for someone in her position. Her blindingly bright hair could be a borrowed look, however, and Bondi may have to add the idea that she uses President Trump's hairstylist to her list of bad fashion selections.

In a violent speech that Plump Trump delivered to the US Navy this past weekend he made an analogy suggesting that Democrats are bugs that need to be killed. The dehumanization of political opponents is one of the most important steps for manufacturing consent for violence.

Yes,Southern California Edison is as awful as u think/On Oct. 1, 2025, residential electric rates will increase by 13% to support the safety, reliability and security of the electric grid.

Translation: the 13% will go to exec comp, not updating SCE's ridic dated "infrastructure" that causes fires.

Hal Katkov @halkatkov.bsky.social · 2d

When SCE writes this... "Beginning Oct. 1, 2025, residential electric rates will increase by approximately 13% to support investments in the safety, reliability & security of the electric grid." They really mean: "We'll spend none of this on items that would reduce fires, and all of it an exec comp"
