You really enjoy your clothing, but I'm begging you to go to a clever tailor or seamstress because the boxy jackets you gravitate to really aren't for you. They do you a disservice.

What once was the peak, is now just the beginning.
Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first ho Show

I would find it much more interesting to name all the women who won Nobel prizes for men. I can start with Franklin and Meitner, anyone wants to go on?

The Three True Pillars Of American Democracy
It’s no shock that the Right and Big Tech are targeting the same three institutions—if Democrats don’t take action to defend them, we can kiss our democracy goodbye.

I keep thinking of all the people who knew it was coming and gave no one a heads up. A bunch of stuff had to be catalogued, packed and moved out. Guys with backhoes were hired. I mean, hundreds of people knew in advance.

But an increasing proportion of arrests have been made by local law enforcement in partnership with ICE, via 287(g) agreements. In many regions, it can be difficult to know when local officers are conducting routine policework or immigration enforcement. In many cases, they are doing both.
A chart showing immigration arrests by local police, which have increased steadily since ICE's new enforcement strategy began in April 2026, reaching its highest amount above 200 arrests per day in late June 2026.

My last car payment was in 1992. Used it for 21 years, passed it on to my SIL, and was able to purchase my next new car for cash. No car payments is not only freedom: it's options!

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Wilber Garcés Pérez "was taken to a hospital late Monday after experiencing paralysis on the left side of his body, his lawyer said." On Sunday, ICE had forced him to leave the hospital even though he still had a bullet lodged in his back/doctors arguing it was "reckless." ICE wanted him to die.

Hegseth eliminated the reviews and approvals designed to prevent civilian casualties, to avoid culpability for war crimes, figuring "hey, we thought the [boat / school / whatever] was a legitimate target" would be a viable excuse. This can't be allowed.. He must be criminally prosecuted.
