Mostly satire since 1979, but these days not everything is funny. 🏏🎺 I'm not much for chatting, so don't take offense if I don't reply.

Another day, another war crime. People used to talk about the failure to stop Hitler, once it was clear what he was doing. Putin has never tried to hide his goals or methods.

A young woman bravely reported that she was sexually assaulted in 2024 by seven men at their fraternity. But instead of protecting her, Cornell University protected her abusers, letting them off with a slap on the wrist.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Well at least the Roberts' Supreme Court gave Trump immunity, so now the stuff he's doing may eventually be knocked down in court, but the damage has been done and he knows he'll get away with whatever he does, so, "Why not?"
