It’s hard to believe, but Democrats basically won the shutdown. They got enough Republicans in the House side to go with them. And even if it doesn’t pass the Senate, it will now be THE issue in 2026

No one is "personally responsible" for policy change. People can contribute greatly but we need to DEAD the idea that a single person is ever responsible. It's unhelpful and it's also not how change happens.

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

You don’t actually have to share whatever nonsense Elon Musk is saying on any given day. You can of course but you don’t have to. The people what want to know what he is up to follow him. The rest of us don’t.

Today was the second day of final exams for Brown University students. Instead of finishing the semester strong, thousands were forced to shelter-in-place while an active shooter stormed the campus. Reports say at least two people were killed, and eight others are in critical, but stable, condition.
