Caq promising to get rid of first past the post in 2018, then saying in 2022 that it was delayed due to the pandemic but that they'd do it after the 2022 election, only to get zero seats in 2026 because of first past the post, is deeply funny

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.
A chart showing an immediate spike after the headline hit the front page of Wall Street Bets.

I grew up on Cold War spy stories and all of them are retroactively ruined at this point because how do you take a life and death plot to place a mid-level agent seriously when real actual life involves “bill pulte named DNI”

i still find it absolutely fucking incredible that Marco Rubio has a imagined version of Chiang Kai-Shek that he's turned into a ancestor spirit for the GOP
After you became the first Cuban-American speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, in 2006, your mentor, Jeb Bush, presented you with a sword. What was that about?

Chang is a mythical conservative warrior. From time to time, if there’s a big issue going on, you’d see Jeb say, “I’m going to unleash Chang.” He gave me the sword of Chang.

ICE agents crashed directly into a 19-year-old refugee's car, pulled him out from the wreck, threw him on the ground, then rushed him off to detention before he could locate the immigration papers in his car that proved he's here lawfully. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...
J.I.B.C. is 19-years-old and has pending applications for Special Immigrant
Juvenile status and asylum. (J.I.B.C. Decl. ¶ 1.) On January 13, 2026, he was leaving TMobile when another car struck his own. (Id. ¶¶ 3–4.) Agents surrounded him, opened
the car doors, and wrenched him out. (Id. ¶ 4.)
J.I.B.C. offered to show the agents his immigration documents, but the agents said
they did not need to see them. (Id. ¶ 6.) When he pulled out his cell phone, the agents threw him to the ground. (Id. ¶ 5.) The immigration documents were left inside his car.
(Id. ¶ 6.)
Several hours after arriving at Whipple, J.I.B.C. was allowed one phone call. (Id.
¶¶ 8, 12.) There was no privacy—it was a shared phone, located in a hallway between
cells with agents nearby. (Id. ¶ 12.) J.I.B.C. told his girlfriend he had been detained; she
said she would find a lawyer. (Id. ¶ 13.) Agents told J.I.B.C. to tell her that he was going
to El Paso, Texas. (Id.)
That day, J.I.B.C. was transferred to Texas. (Id. ¶ 15.) During his weeklong
detention, he was allowed only two calls. (Id. ¶ 22.) Officers pressured people to sign
voluntary self-deportation papers; many did. (Id. ¶ 23.) Agents told J.I.B.C. that he would
be detained longer if he fought his case. (Id.)

Literally EVERYTHING else aside: Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it. Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."
