More paywalls. It's a shame that, in these dangerous times, independent writers on current events are monetizing our fear and outrage. Never mind the inconvenience of having to have paid subscriptions to dozens of different writers. Exhausting.

I genuinely don't know why Fauci doesn't sue the hell out of these networks. Maybe he'll look at how the E Jean Carroll case went and give it some thought. Defamation is real and, in the case of FOXNews, I think it would be an easy case to make.

It's AI. I don't know why people do this. There are enough legitimate pictures of Trump's destruction without having to create fake ones.

It just feels like whoever is in charge of projects at Lucasfilm believes that there are only about 300 people in the entire galaxy and that 20% of them all know each other. Ugh.

Same! I thought the first season of Mandalorian was so good. It was basically a space western. And the thing I loved most was that it was a brand new story with brand new characters in the SW universe. When they started shoehorning all the usual SW lore and characters in, I lost interest.

Anyone who believes these numbers from this administration has completely lost the plot. And the New York Times is complicit in the deception by reporting these numbers without a massive asterisk.

Most conspiracy theories (like 9/11 or chemtrails) require one to believe in a tremendous amount of coordination across dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people. The Butler assassination attempt does not. And it only requires you to believe that Trump would do anything to avoid prison time.

Also worth mentioning that Genesis says that God commanded Noah to bring SEVEN of each "clean" animal and only TWO of the "unclean" animals. The numbers would just be staggering.

The UN is reporting that the U.S. and Israel have targeted civilians, educational institutions and medical facilities...all of which constitutes a “grave violation of international humanitarian law and human rights law”. The U.S. is engaged in war crimes.

As a former evangelical, I can tell you what you're going to see today: Evangelical Christians who rely more on the theology of "Left Behind" novels rather than the Bible will be rejoicing today. Anything that happens in the Middle East gets them whipped into a frenzy.

You and Chuck Schumer should both resign. Your hearts are in the right place but you are sorely inadequate to deal with the situation we're facing. We need leaders, not bureaucrats. Your strongly-worded posts are less than effective: they demonstrate your lack of ability. Step aside.

I don't disagree that the Meta glasses are creepy. But, the ability to take photos/videos in public is a 1st Amendment protected right (and it's an important one). So, I don't know what the solution is. In any case, she may have committed a felony even though he probably deserved it.

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters. We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

Does anyone know the cost of SNAP per taxpayer? I keep seeing a $36/year figure but I think that's outdated. (Plus, I can't find any support for that number). Does anyone know the actual number?
