IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."
ummmmm WHAT. so many unwitting people about to get absolutely fleeced.
direct from the SEC filing: "Truth Social users will be able to trade prediction contracts related to major events and milestones, such as political elections, interest and inflation rate changes, commodity prices on gold and crude oil, events across all major sports leagues, and more"
Honestly this crew has done a really good job and Joe Davis is very very good. And the baseball is riveting.
Dad, what was everyone's headspace like during the 16th inning of Game 3 of the 2025 World Series?

This is far from the most important issue here, but the Ontario govt was under no obligation to "seek...permission to use and edit" any recording of Ronald Reagan that is in the U.S. National Archives/Reagan Library, as is the case here. And the Reagan Foundation has *no* relevant role here.
Here's the statement from the Reagan Foundation.

"The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks."
this restriction is fairly standard, for instance, local TV is limited on the number of minutes per day of video that can be shown from the NCAA basketball tournament. Local TV also often slides past the limit because enforcement is rare. network TV has different agreements, stronger enforcement.
yes. tons of acres of hops in Idaho have come out of the ground the last two seasons, mostly replaced by corn, but there are onion fields under dormant poles, too.

Q: A pardoned January 6 rioter was charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries

MIKE JOHNSON: Terrible. That's the first I've heard of that. I don't know anything about it.
it's so interesting when big music rights companies choose to enforce copyrights, with use like this is largely left to individual artists to criticize the unauthorized use.
Idaho power reports this approx 3,000 customer outage is "safety related" with estimated restoration at 11am.

Can I just say, Mariners manager Dan Wilson, when he was a player, used to come through the McDonalds drive-thru I ran in Seattle, in his minivan with his young kids, and he was always the nicest dude. A good sport about getting recognized no matter how exhausted I’m sure he was. Go Ms

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross
