Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

"Jobs including doctors, nurses and support staff," it says.

They intend to drive up patient wait times to create dissatisfaction with VA, leading veterans to, presumably, call for privatization.

They can't suggest privatization now because veterans love VA. So they intend to turn vets against it.
Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.

The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

we need to get behind this, my central issue with much of contemporary pop is that there isn't enough bass, and yes this literally includes the song "all about that bass," which doesn't feature enough bass!

What triumphs? At least Napoleon could cover its walls with military victories, and had pulled a full romanitas in the Empire. Trump has, what? Caligula's parties and Commodus' corruption and Caracalla's short temper?
Trump: We’re building an arc like the Arc de Triomphe. It will be like the one in Paris but it blows it away.

Here are a few reasons off the top of my head why creators don’t LOVE AI:
1. It has been used to create videos of them saying inappropriate things
2. It has been used to sexually harass them
3. It has been used to scam their fans
4. It directly competes with their business and devalues their work

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

“Let me state the obvious:
Antisemitism is always wrong.
Islamophobia is always wrong.
Intentionally killing civilians is always wrong, whether on a beach in Sydney or a beach in Gaza.
Can we not all agree on all of the above? Is that really so hard” - my take for Zeteo’s First Draft newsletter:
The (Muslim) Hero of Bondi
Mehdi on the Islamophobes' response to the brutal killing of Jews in Australia; how the DOGE folks are headed for Gaza; and the fallout from the Bari Weiss/Erika Kirk CBS town hall.

Pizza Hut Sicilian (1994, 1998): A rectangular, thick-crust pizza, made with a hearty, spicy sauce and cut into 8 square slices. It had basil, oregano, and garlic baked into the crust, and covered in a sprinkling of "cheese-herb seasoning". Tested regionally, then rolled out nationally 4 years later

When the real death toll is known I think it's going to break people.
