Motion to replace the "Andy Card whispering to W. on 9/11" meme with this photo.

The back of his hair, the makeup line, and the giant folds of his neck waddle make it perfect.

Since OpenAI’s Sora 2 came out, a ton of AI videos have been made of Jake Paul appearing to be gay, appearing to be a beauty influencer, doing makeup on camera etc.

Jake just responded from his verified account.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Notable about today’s WH roundtable on Antifa, IMO: not just one outside law enforcement/public safety official brought in for it. Bondi, Patel for administration, but no police chief, state Public Safety Secy, sheriff, etc. Just a dozen right-wing “journalists”. …

I genuinely wonder if they've got wind that Reeves is/was planning to do this in the budget tbh?

The ceasefire will be signed at noon, Cairo time, according to Al-Hadath. Presumably Trump will be there to steal the limelight.

Hamas and Israel have agreed to implement the first phase of the Gaza peace plan. Qatari media says that includes the release of the 20 living hostages in one go. Sky News Arabia says it will also include an Israeli withdrawal from 70% of the Gaza Strip.

This is maybe my least pro-market position: the good thing about drinking in a pub is there is an adult who can cut you off, something which cannot happen when you are drinking alone with the booze you bought at Tesco.

Should go further and tax supermarket beer at a higher rate than at the moment- raises revenue, targets the biggest source of binge drinking and might help get people back into pubs.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
