Attorney General Letitia James of New York purchased a tiny, $137,000 home in Virginia for a grandniece, who said she lived there with her family and didn’t pay rent. Prosecutors say it is an impermissible investment property. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

God you gotta love Ulysses Grant

As for provisions, Grant remembered what he had learned after Van Dorn’s destruction of his supply base the previous December. This time he intended to cut loose from his base, travel light, and live off the country. Although civilians were going hungry in Mississippi, Grant was confident that his soldiers would not. A powerful army on the move could seize supplies that penniless women and children could not afford to buy. For the next two weeks the Yankee soldiers lived well on hams, poultry, vegetables, milk, and honey as they stripped bare the plantations in their path. Some of these midwestern farm boys proved to be expert foragers. When an irate planter rode up on a mile and complained to a division commander that plundering troops had robbed him of everything he owned, the general looked him in the eye and said “Well those men didn’t belong to my division at all, because if they were my men they wouldn’t have left you that mule”

Also lying:

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

I saw this on Threads (my mistake) and it absolutely infuriated me. Oh no, this creator, who was always making toyetic properties and probably isn’t seeing a ton of money from them these days, didn’t provide an adequately emotionally fulfilling experience at their temporary place of business???

I met the creator and animator of He Man and the Masters of the Universe today and told him what an honor it was to meet someone who shaped the very foundation of my childhood and of millions of kids in India. He just shrugged his shoulders and asked me if I wanted to buy the $60 Funko he was selling at his booth in New York Comic Con.
Reminder to not meet your hero's.

when I was a kid, at night I'd close my eyes and see these distorted warping faces, they would mutate and rot, and had a horrible evil feeling to them. eventually it stopped.
Anyway i'm an artist so now you can see it too!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

The writer in this case clearly thinks “out of whole cloth”means “out of nothing”, which is debatable on its face, but “out of whole cloth” actually means: ALL of it is a LIE

Please nobody tell professional writer praising professional journalists Caitlin Flanagan what "out of whole cloth" means

Screenshot of text:

Not now but soon enough, there will be major stories about The Free Press being the creation of three female founders who constructed a hugely successful digital business out of whole cloth.

“Don’t bet against Bari Weiss” is a cool sentiment same as “don’t bet against hitler’s dog”. The whole edifice of death camps and storm troopers and rockets raining death down on humanity provided that dog a nice bowl of meat shreds and a nice bath now and then, the dog was not exceptional

Besides friends, family, and community, art is next best thing that makes life worth while. Baring witness to something that was crafted by another person or group. Or being part of making art. No matter how amateurish.

Anyways, AI is fucking lame.
