Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Happy 60th birthday to Shirley Henderson, who voiced and puppeteered Babu Frik in The Rise of Skywalker and the Anzellans in The Mandalorian!
Henderson also played Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter movies!

Being over in Hillsborough County myself, I'm not surprised this is a Tampa Metro rep...
She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Once upon a time in a mountain village I visited on occasion there was a food cart that had a big ol' bell they'd ring every time someone gave them a tip. I feel like I should have one of those every time someone scores a shirt off of my site. In related news: DINGDINGDING! #IHaveFriendsEverywhere

I don't fucking care if it's your child, grandchild, someone else's child
If they tell you they don't want to be touched, have their hair brushed, what ever the fuck it is your trying to do to them, and you don't honor that?
And then have a counselor at your church tell you you're right?!

When we take our government and country back from the fascists, every single one of these thugs must answer, in court, for the crimes they are currently committing. Hold them all accountable.
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.

The real question is how many Coasties went and got those tattoos in the interim.
The Coast Guard reversed its 'swastikas aren't all that bad' policy just hours after the Washpost broke the story.
It's both surprising, and good, to see that one government agency these days is capable of being embarrassed, and changing course quickly.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.
