I'm not saying this rhetorically—I'm speaking literally here. At what point do Republicans admit that Trump has lost his mind and replace him with Vance through the 25th Amendment? Never? Do we need to see a nuclear weapon dropped on a city of 10 million innocent civilians first?

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

If you think it's a good idea to punch a nazi you need to remember something. Keep your wrist flat, ensure your thumb is under your fist, and strike with the index and middle knuckle. Use your back heel to turn your hip and really get your body into it, driving from heel to hip to shoulder.

'Though completely eclipsed by Don Quixote, Cristalián de España, which was first published in 1545, has a unique claim to fame. Its 800 pages, bristling with swords, sorcerers, dragons and damsels, make up the earliest known work by a female Spanish novelist.' 1/2

Macquarie Dictionary has announced 'AI slop' has been chosen by its committee and voted by the public as the word of the year for 2025. AI slop refers to low-quality content created by generative AI which often contains errors and is not requested by the user, according to Macquarie.
