every ruling out of chicago is like, "federal judge rules ICE agents cannot desecrate graves; must not deploy nuclear weapons against journalists and faith leaders."

A concise statement of the problem.

Unfortunately, reality is only apparent *after* elections.

This looks like the surge in Falluja.

We don’t have to live this way.

Love this!

A fictional character never had that written into the script of entirely fictional events? 🙄

Antibiotic resistance is accelerating.

A grocery store clerk in Chicago says shoppers see prices “and say, ‘What the f—? .. It happens all the time.”

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

We now have overlapping policies that each contribute to higher inflation.

This time, there’s no election safety valve so expect prices to continue rising for years.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

And just in time, the administration pulled the vaccine.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

If I genuinely believed I was 18 months away from superintelligence that could solve cancer, I would probably not be pivoting to horny chatbots, but that's just me (a person with priorities)

The thing about these guys is they're awful. And while there's always a subset of humans that are awful, the question to ask is why do they keep getting access to power

More than 6,000 flights are being delayed every day, nearly twice the historical average for October.

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose:

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.
