I had an AirTag in my bag and when hopped on the in-flight WiFi I could see it hadn’t moved, so I had a general idea why I was being paged. Otherwise I probably woulda been freaked tf out hearing my name called on at one of the world’s busiest airports!

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Last time I went through LHR, I arrived to my name being called over the loudspeaker to inform me my luggage was still in ATL. By the time my bags were on a flight, LHR’s entire ATC system went down so it was 2 more days before they could get them to me in Amsterdam

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Those are parachute pants, not wide legs. Tbf I think they’re much more flattering than the cursed wide legs

C’mon now, Ken. Most of us Texans rarely get to experience autumn. All they’ll be chasing is sausage dogs, deep dish and nice weather.

Their plan for farmers was laid bare in Project 2025. I’m by no means saying that farmers deserve to be financially ruined by how they voted, but maybe this is what it takes for reality to break through to MAGA voters.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Just so you all know, I’m not fat shaming when I make fun of these guys. As a fellow chubster, I love this for them. I’m making fun of tough guy Greg Abbott by proxy.

I’ve also been wondering this. Wasn’t he credibly accused of SA on multiple occasions? And didn’t he start a cult?

For those of you who were alive in the early 70’s, can you tell me if there was this much spilled ink over Johnny Cash writing a hyper-realistic protest song? Because this Zach Bryan thing seems to be everywhere. And not a little over the top.
