With Trump trying to put his name on everything, I think we can all agree that the only place that should have his name displayed prominently are landfills. These would be called Trump Dumps.

Listen to this king at a Huntington City Council meeting on Flock Cameras:

"I'm not gonna waste your time, I'm kinda hungry, but one last thing. Every single Flock camera has about 2-3 lbs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold. Do with that information what you will."

Simple question: If Democrats could somehow cheat Trump out of reelection in 2020 when he was President, why didn't they cheat him out of winning in 2024 when they were in charge of everything? It doesn't make the least bit of sense.

Commentary: The sad inevitability of Justice Alito's birthright citizenship dissent
During his 2005 confirmation hearings, Alito praised his father as an 'extraordinary man who came to the United States as a young child and overcame many difficulties' to ensure a better life for him and his sister.

Liberals say that Trump has ruined the 250th anniversary of our democracy. They're wrong—Trump has ruined the 250th anniversary of our republic.

It's pretty crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year and almost no one cares about them because the administration has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

One of the two known videos of Jimi Hendrix playing acoustic (1967) - allegedly, the video was made after a photoshoot where the photographer brought him a special 12-string guitar, strung upside down to adapt to Jimi's left-handed playing.

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...
One way of thinking about Twitter, especially in the Elon Musk era, is as the latest and most sophisticated version of the mailing lists that have powered the conservative movement, and the various scams and cons and schemes that constitute it, since the 1960s--in other words, as a huge and immediately accessible collection of suckers, waiting to have their avidity and paranoia exploited for cash. The predictions markets here are happy to play the same role with heavy X.com users as crypto scams and meme-stock hustlers did on the same site a few years ago, or as cash-for-gold ads did with Fox News viewers a decade before that, or as direct-mail get-rich-quick schemes did with Goldwater voters deep in prehistory.1

But the demand for dumb money created by the increasing annexation of our everyday social and cultural lives into casino-market hybrids like predictions markets (or, arguably, social media itself2) isn’t going to be satisfied solely by a pre-existing population of Birchite suckers. We talk a lot about the “male loneliness crisis” but in my estimation we don’t talk enough about the “male suckerfication crisis”: The process by which young men are continuously cultivated--by politicians, influencers, podcasters, sportscasters, and the very structure of social networks--as dupes and suckers, both for the enrichment and empowerment of Trumpist politicians and movements but also in service of the profits an ever-expanding roster of gambling and gambling-adjacent industries, among them app-enabled retail day-trading, crypto speculation, predictions markets, and of course, actual sports betting.

the way you actually fight fascism is by locking up as many of their leaders as you can as quickly as you can, and identifying all their sources of power and influence and breaking those. they control the courts? break their control of the courts. crush fox news. destroy the federalist society. etc

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡
A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: 

Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier.
Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready."
Five stars. Will absolutely return.
