It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

His name is a corruption of the Hindi word for "bear." In a world where multi species groups form, calling the Indian Sloth Bear in your particular friend group "Baloo" is the equivalent of calling the Texan guy in your group "Tex."
got banned for life from the TaleSpin forums for suggesting that Baloo in TaleSpin is NOT the same bear as Baloo in The Jungle Book. People were screaming at me to shut the fuck up even though I provided EVIDENCE

yes, it’s really that bad.
If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

The only reason you alter the Hep B schedule is if you want to kill children. They want to kill children. Vaccines aren't the cause of allergies, and I can't believe I have to say this but even if it were true, some kids having allergies is better than kids being killed.
Breaking news: Federal vaccine advisers selected by Health Secretary RFK Jr. are planning to vote on ending the practice of vaccinating all newborns for hepatitis B and to examine whether shots are behind the rise of allergies and autoimmune disorders.
RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisers plan biggest change yet to childhood schedule
The new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said the panel plans to vote to end universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth and to scrutinize if childhood shots cause allergies.

Without getting into the ethics of the bomb - the reason Americans OVERWHELMINGLY approved of nuking Japan in 1945 is that Americans were mad about Pearl Harbor and the atrocious way the Japanese treated civilians and prisoners during the war.
America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

This is difficult because Die Hard IS a Christmas movie, but the people most insistent on saying so are really, really annoying. It's the "Bacon Makes Everything Better" of movie opinions.

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...

Trumpism is a violent movement that welcomes violent people.
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

I hate making this a criticism of the media, because murder is the story, but I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what the difference is between what Trump, Hegseth, and Vance BRAGGED about publicly doing, and the act Hegseth was doing with the reported "kill them all" statement."

I believe the following to be true. I also know it's an absurd thing to say.
One of the most insidious, pernicious, harmful institutions in the USA for more than a century now has been the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

just a reminder that *lots* of countries have universities, and (to my knowledge) none of them but the U.S. treat their universities as largely minor league sports franchises
LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?

All of the cabinet members involved in killing Venezuelans on boats should be charged with murder, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no other way to respond to their crimes. "That's a political witch hunt!" Ok, so how do you actually deal with a politician committing murder?
