The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

Was not expecting Bob Costas to open up to us about feeling like he lost a step calling baseball games, and then seeing all the abuse online from anonymous users in MAGA hats after he made it clear he loathes Trump. He said he just needed to unburden himself.

Earlier today, @zeteo.com revealed that Israel has kidnapped an American teenager and has kept him in detention for three months, with no charges. And then hours later, only one Republican voted to even somewhat hold Israel accountable for acts like this.

There’s a very powerful idea in Annalee Newitz’s time travel novel The Future of Another Timeline, where the time travelers gather to recite their memories from the times they experienced before the timelines changed. That feels like us now.

I suspect that what he's betting, here, is that he may be forced to pay these back if the courts rule against him, but at worst, he's getting an interest-free loan from the government. And depending on how the elections go, he may not have to pay them back at all.

It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

Yeah the thing is I’ve known of Langley for years now. the song is fine. But it’s only #1 pop hit because the monoculture is dead. If it had to compete when Mariah was the reigning #1 queen it would be lucky to be a top 50 hit on country. This is a story about how poor the competition is.

The Warner Brothers tower. It has been tinted orange and is leaning at a 30-40' angle. It is surmounted by Trump's hair. The tower is wavering. The background is ominous, red-tinged clouds, through which peek a marching army of banner-waving demons.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.
