I just wanted the same build dimensions as the old vehicle but with a/c and airbags, man. This thing is gonna be a nightmare for anyone with curbside delivery routes. Plus they're gonna be adding in a whole bunch of "spy on carriers to micromanage their entire day" tech bullshit to them

Every time these clowns threaten to walk off the job if they don't like the new mayor, I don't know how everyone doesn't read that as a reflection on cops, and not the politician.

Also get real, none of you lazy unaccountable oafs are leaving your comfy 200K job playing Candy Crush at Penn Station

Yes, he said they're a real, dangerous organization whose roots go back to the Weimar Republic. Helluva thing to talk about the dangers of a group because their origins are in stopping nazis.

Bake sale and car wash fundraisers will fall far short of their goals, and the owner of the Toyota dealership in the next town, John Elway, will buy their field at auction to be paved over for their new inventory.

Meanwhile, by this time next year, Bill Belichick will find himself in an Emilio Estevez-in-Mighty Ducks type situation, forced to coach a youth football team of rag tag misfits while he tries to date one of their mothers. They will go 2-14 and the league will be dismantled.

Bill Belichick forced Tom Brady, the Tom Brady you have heard of, from football, out of the door. Brady immediately and hilariously won another Super Bowl the next season.

Lima, Peru is now the last place on earth still talking about Kirk, and even they don't know why. Donald Trump has already forgotten who that is. History has rendered its verdict: he is irrelevant.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 16h

Rafael López Aliaga, the right-wing mayor of Lima, Peru, widely known as “Porky,” held a Charlie Kirk memorial — filled with attendees bused in from poor neighborhoods — as he sought help from the Trump administration. Many others were more confused. “Who’s Charlie Kirk?”

Your own post I'm quoting says we have to sacrifice rights, dipshit.

Name the specific people and the specific rights we have to sacrifice for electoral victory and sit down across from a group of those people and say it to their face, or shut the fuck up.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

A lot of these things were always obviously bad ideas, but the Trump era has really exposed how stupid the entire structure of our democracy is when all it takes is a couple guys going "nah I'm not gonna do that" to dismantle us.

I'm sure there are other legal pathways to getting her seated, but "let's let your political adversaries decide whether or not an elected representative can take their seat" is another one of those classic "boy that seems like an oversight" moments in American politics.

Same thing as when they struck down student loan forgiveness, or upheld the right of a cake maker to discriminate against gay people. In modern conservatism, you're either making up a guy to get mad at, or you're a made-up guy getting mad.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

The U.S. Treasury shared a proposal to mint $1 Trump coins to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

But U.S. code says only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency, a tradition dating back to efforts to break from monarchical rule. https://wapo.st/4pWsyL3
