Schumer sucks so bad
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

The “illustrated” edition of A Feast for Crows was desecrated by zero-effort AI slop. This is an insult to the entire #ASOIAF community, all the artists who have brought George’s work to life over the years, and frankly anyone with eyeballs.

Neither the White House nor the Justice Department will say if members of groups on Trump's secret "domestic terrorist organization" list will be subject to summary execution like those on Trump's secret “designated terrorist organization" list. theintercept.com/2025/11/04/t...

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

The City of North Vancouver continues to improve their public waterfront!

They’re going to build a fully accessible outdoor swimming pool, accommodating up to 400 swimmers in the beautiful Burrard Inlet. Great news for the north shore and the whole region 👏

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

This will come to be seen as a catastrophicly bad bet.

More broadly, the US economy is doubling down on grift, gambling, and magical thinking of all kinds, including AI delusions, crypto, fossil fuel retrenchment, dumb tariffs, & anti scientific health policy

Agreed. The press is broken. Get out of the WH entirely and bring back adversarial journalism.
Count me as among those who think it's better if reporters were kicked out of WH in addition to the Pentagon.

It would diminish the access journalism, people getting some morsel of a non-scoop--competing for it--in return for being nice. They'd instead compete more on exposing the horror show.

CTO: At long last, I have misunderstood the Torment Nexus Metaphor from the classic post Don't Misunderstand The Torment Nexus Metaphor
"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict
