They don't understand there's a world beyond their screens yet they are so, so bad at their time on screens, telling easily provable lies and humiliating themselves as if they have a kink for it.

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

The media still hasn’t learned they can’t score points with the Rancid Babyman. They can bray about his triumph and he’ll complain of the “worst of all time” picture.

Someone did not like that low angle!

Donald J. Trump " ( @realDonaldTrump
Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?

As my friend @msemilyedwards.bsky.social pointed out, some of those phone numbers had letters too! (Although she's too young to know this; her grandparents must have told her.) But our phone number had an AT (for ATLAS) prefix.

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

No one should ever be ashamed of what they like to read. There's no more value in loving obscure novels in translation than there is preferring light romance. Read what you want to, unapologetically.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

This makes me think that internal polling conducted by Republicans shows, even more so than public polling, that if voters get to cast ballots in 2026, the party will be massacred. Some Republicans are doubling down and others are trying to distance themselves, like Greene is doing lately.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

A fight between President Trump, Illinois Gov. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Johnson has often played out in a quiet suburb that is home to an ICE processing facility where most of those detained in “Operation Midway Blitz” are initially taken.

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

I hope you feel properly pathetic for this, @apnews.com. Republicans control the House, Senate and White House and they still can’t govern. Funny this didn’t happen - and generate farcical headlines like this - under Pelosi. Kill yourself, AP.

Just a reminder to local police that you don't have to be accomplices to civil rights violations & gratuitous cruelty against people who depend on you to protect them.

ICE & the TV crews will eventually move on; you'll remain behind with severed ties & a community that knows not to trust you.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility
By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Tell me what you think: Facebook, which I barely tolerate, has changed the rules on author pages. Apparently people can’t just follow my page anymore, but have to be friends of the page? Or I have to create another page and start over? I’m tempted to just bag it.
