This picture from L’Express is fucking brutal lmao #uspol
A photograph with a tan backdrop. In the background and slightly out of focus is Donald Trump wearing a red MAGA hat and blue suit. He has the worst, orangest spray tan known to humankind, it doesn’t even cover his entire face. It looks like a kindergartner put it on. He looks like an old baseball glove you find in the garage. His suit has collar gap.

In the foreground is Elon Musk, dressed like a 12 year old’s idea of cool. He is wearing a black SpaceX shirt, black leather jacket that might have once seen a motorcycle, and mirrored sunglasses like he’s dressing up as a cop for Halloween. He is holding onto the sunglasses like he’s about to rip them off to make a pun before a Who song kicks in.

🏄 Fam if you’re a beginner stay off The Hook during a high surf advisory 😭 Today I watched a guy struggle to get out of the water for 20 minutes. He couldn’t make it to the stairs and ended up climbing a cliff (not one of the usual ones) I didn’t leave in case I needed to call 911 but he made it

Updated: 9:52 a.m. — Committee hearing canceled

After police’s clearing of the University Yard encampment, House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has canceled the committee’s hearing on D.C.’s initial refusal to clear the space scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

During a press conference before the cancellation, Mayor Muriel Bowser said Comer said he supported officials in focusing on the District’s ongoing response to the encampment’s clearing. Comer said the committee has canceled their hearing due to D.C.’s clearing of the encampment in a statement later Wednesday morning.

The committee last week called on Bowser and Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith to testify at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday on why they refused GW’s request to clear the encampment on the second day of the protest.

I finally found something I hate more than San Diego’s camo uniforms— their city connect jerseys
Pitcher has his head down, probably out of shame. Hat is mint green, jersey is white with San Diego in a FONT that’s bright pink on top of the letters and mint green on the bottom. Number 7 is hot pink. One sleeve is mint green. There is a yellow heart above the G in Diego with PS in pink. Yellow trim on sleeve and yellow arm sleeveMint green batting helmet, one green sleeve, one sleeve hot pink. Runner is bending over so you can see his back, his name is yellow and the number hot pink. It is reminiscent of a clown

The core problem in timekeeping

Timekeeping has traditionally had an astronomical basis. Earth is a type of clock. In simpler times, the planet would spin one full revolution on its axis, and everyone would call it a day.
