As a citizen, I am opposed to the president talking about arresting journalists.

Good to see them getting back to their roots. Little known fact, chihuahuas were bred as Mexican war dogs. Puppies grew up and travelled with the cavalry horses in saddlebags. At night they naturally stayed with them and their yaps would alert to any threats. Ok, so car alarms, not war dogs.

OK, direct question for any MAGAts out there. Imagine it was your daughter, passed out in that frat room. Imagine Trump was a frat bro on that text chain. What do you think he would have done? You know what he would have done.

Personally, I think it’s impressive to see Cornell lean into a “Rape U” reputation. It’s disgusting, misogynistic, and anti-American but it’s an impressive choice.

Underrated? We have an actual idiom in English to celebrate it! “Graceful as a swan” wasn’t popularized because it rhymes.

So he burns off his ballistic stockpile. The Ukrainians aren't going to quit so it just means he won't have many ballistics. I expect Ukraine to develop effective, cheap anti-ballistic capability soon and win another military market.

People are tired of bad stories and movies that rely on cgi to hold your interest. Good stories and inspiring characters will sell tickets regardless of genre.

I just took the dogs for a walk. I shouted COW! at a woman who was riding her bike really fast. She gave me the middle finger then rode straight into the cow.

Yep, we wanted to go sit outside and listen to an unknown bluegrass musician play for 90 minutes. $45 a seat, not including food or parking. Would have been $150 when all said and done. Forget it. I’ll just listen to recordings of great musicians in my yard.

Disagree, it’s not energy, it’s money. A clean cooling system costs more. It’s water vs money. Those are the constraints. We can always get more energy.

This is one of the most pathetic acts of cowardice I can imagine. You are Governor of the STATE. Call in the National Guard and kick the doors down. Rescue the people being abused there. Or resign because you serve no purpose. Allow someone with courage and conviction do that which you won't.

Christ, you're the governor of the entire state. Shut the building down. It's not sovereign territory like a foreign embassy. Pull the certificate of occupancy. Cut the power. Back it up with state police. Stop coddling fascists and groveling every time they order you around. Act like an American.

There isn’t a state in the union that would pass this idiotic measure. However, only in Oregon could it get a legitimate 10% of the vote.

It has to be partisan! We have to get beyond the 'both sides' BS. Unless they explicitly say they are supporting Democratic candidates it's just self-soothing nonsense. There is only one political party that is a threat to the things they say they are concerned about and it is not the Democrats.

Exactly, it’s not that they make fun of our candidates. It’s that Joe Sixpac, who knows good and well that the GOP candidate is disgusting, just can’t bring himself to pull the lever for a black/woman/gay/etc. Not acknowledging and manipulating that trait to advance our agenda has hurt us.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

Turns out AI doesn't actually mean Artificial Intelligence, it means Average Intelligence. It's a technology for producing a result that the average person could provide, given enough time. The problem is that the average person is pretty fucking stupid.
