Just learned from my partner that the Super Bowl Shuffle was not frequently played in New York City in 1985/6. He’s not sure he ever even heard it, a fact that breaks my heart!

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Wow, a family full of terrible assholes!
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

I haven’t bought flights on any airline other than Southwest for a long time. But now that checked bags aren’t free, they’re not the cheapest option necessarily, and I booked with another airline.
It feels so shitty that everything is an extra fee.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

I used to find so many good recipes by googling ingredient combos. Now I only look at a handful of trusted sites and I’m returning to cookbooks because nothing online is trustworthy.
I saw an AI generated recipe on Facebook promising that you could bake bread in a crock pot. It’s a mess!

I feel so lucky that I was in grad school at the peak of Google Scholar. A few years earlier or later, writing a dissertation would be much harder.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

The thing where Trump won the election and started his term with decent approval numbers that immediately tanked when he started doing the shit he promised to do is easily explained. Billionaires manipulated the media environment to misinform the public about what a 2nd Trump term would be like.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

I had not previously considered that Jeff Bezos might be in the Epstein files. This decision confirms to me beyond doubt that he is
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

We’re going to end up with SCOTUS rulings under which where spending a literal billion dollars to bias an election is “speech” but honking your horn, or otherwise drawing attention to the actions of the government m is not.
Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.
