If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

FAST COMPANY Article: 

While retirement typically occurs, after
completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals
called "micro-retirement." Micro-
retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months.
Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

Anybody watching this Trump program knows that it’s all fiction & performance. His “instincts;” his “deal-making;” his status as “the ultimate CEO.” It’s utter fiction. It’s awful that media figures w/a reasonable level of sophistication pretend that the silly stories from Trump camp are credible.

the suffering caused by these cuts, relayed to us by people on the ground, is hard to fathom. makes the Musk chainsaw wielding on stage that much more unconscionable
Khamis told us about passing men and women who carried the sick on their shoulders like pallbearers. Children and adults were laid on makeshift gurneys; many vomited uncontrollably. These human caravans walked for hours in up to 104-degree heat in an attempt to reach medical treatment, because their local clinics had either closed completely or run out of ways to treat cholera. Previously, the U.S. government had provided tablets that purified the water in the region, which is home to a quarter-million people, many of whom are fleeing violent conflicts nearby. Not anymore, Khamis says; now many have resorted to drinking untreated river water. He told us that at least eight people—five of them children—had died on their journey that day. As he entered a health facility in Akobo, he was confronted by a woman. “She just said, ‘You abandoned us,’” Khamis told us.

One reason that none of the scandals have ever *quite* stuck to Trump is that media companies have largely not chosen to make them stick. They drop a carefully reported story under an anodyne headline, nobody reads it, everyone shrugs and moves on

The Trump administration cut about $1 billion in aid to anti-hunger groups, according to Feeding America. It's put more pressure on organizations that distribute food to hold up their corner of the U.S. safety net, dipping into reserves and scrounging for donations to replace the food they had lost.

The thing that's been so aggravating about Trump -- has been visible, in fact, since a year into his first term -- is that he's a paper tiger. Appease him and he'll try to take everything from you. Punch him in the face, and he folds, because he fundamentally only respects strength

It is far past time for Google to stop prioritizing Twitter in their search results. When I search for the name of an athlete, to check the status of an injury, one of the first things I see should not be bogus "parody" stories from random accounts tying that athlete to sex trafficking.
A Google search result page for baseball player Giancarlo Stanton. Among the top results on the page is a "Popular on X" modal with a tweet that reads:  "BREAKING #EarlSources New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton expected to turn himself in to authorities and be charged by Southern District of New York tomorrow morning for his role as an accomplice in the Sean “Diddy” Combs case."
