Shoutout to the Christians who spent the week defending livestreaming a public execution then got up this morning and went to church. You're the real hypocrites.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

He probably wasn't ready until after his incredible performance at the 2026 Olympics, but clearly this is one of Grier's best decisions (after signing him to a long contract this summer). Celebrini can definitely lead this team to the next level. www.mercurynews.com/2026/09/25/s...

I think if Trump just came right out and said “yeah im a nazi, OK, and I think Hitler was right,” it would be a media frenzy for a few weeks at most before the media moved on. Pretty soon, CBS and NBC News would be both-sidesing Hitler’s legacy www.thehandbasket.co/p/republican...

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Biden accused by GOP of 'bribing' voters with student loan forgiveness
The Biden administration unveiled its latest effort to forgive as much as $20,000 in debt for some borrowers on Monday after the Supreme Court struck down its original plan last year.

Dolly Parton writing “I will always love you“ and “Jolene“ in the same day is mind blowing.

Yes. And how do that is to do what you know to be right and just all the way through. Dolly showing up for queer and trans people, for example, was not the easy or crowd-pleasing move, especially for her audience. And she funded a vaccine that got *incredibly* politicized. For example.
