My friend at FEMA says the new head rescinded his declaration that "everything goes through him" because it meant he would have to personally review everyone's time cards

When the AI bubble pops people will try and do the “how could we have known?” And the answer is “if you thought about the economics of generative AI or actually talked to people using it.” Everything I report is public. I am a dumbass. I have listened to the same metal song 8 times in a row tonight.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.
Having one of the richest people in America (Bloomberg) funding millions of dollars in ads bashing you really matters. Rich people promising to cut jobs from New York if you win also hurts. www.thefp.com/p/escape-fro...

The 9th official question that one must answer in order to be admitted to an LDS Temple is “do you strive to be honest in all that you do?”
Mike Lee still has this complete lie up.
Just four hours ago, even after we’ve learned the shooter was as an anti-abortionist Trump supporter, a sitting U.S. Senator is spreading fake conspiracy theories blaming the murder of a Democratic lawmaker on Democrats.
Not only that, he’s pinned the post!
Abominably evil stuff from Mike Lee.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history.
Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
