I love Talking Heads; I hate pennies, puns, and fascists.

Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

This made me look up No Retreat, No Surrender. All I can remember is watching it repeatedly as a kid and that martial arts were involved. Visiting Bruce Lee’s grave and being trained by his ghost in your dreams is a plot device that should be used in more films.
put on BEST OF THE BEST to just have something on in the background but turns out i am a sucker for any martial arts competition movie no matter how mid?

Yes, finally give the American people what they want: the power to negotiate with an industry where fax machines are a prevalent form of communication.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

As someone who hates puns but loves to see the current US government humiliated, yesterday was an emotionally conflicting day to be on Bluesky with the sandwich assault verdict. This was the best of the worst.

As a small business owner, I can confirm that operating with ethics rarely results in financial value equivalent with the product or service you provide at least compared to what the charlatans regularly receive. At least we’re not charlatans though.
As someone who has run an actual non-ridiculous independent media operation for over two decades which has lost multiple sponsors due to our public "we're against fascism" stance... to hear that Weiss might get $200 million for basically justifying and whitewashing fascism... is... frustrating.
FT Exclusive: Weiss has met with David Ellison, the incoming owner of CBS News, over a potential deal to sell her three-year-old media company, according to several people familiar with the matter. https://on.ft.com/4eZ6WbM

Listen, folks, we can usually give advice to prepare you ahead of time for emergencies.
But no one could have predicted 250 MILLION BEES would be loose on a road.
So, stay away. Just…. Don’t go anywhere near them.

Troll alert. 1.4k replies and he doesn’t engage with a single one. He knows why Democratic voters don’t want Cuomo to win. He’s unwilling to say it directly because doing so screams “I’ve done these things too, and I don’t want to suffer repercussions”

For those playing along at home we are now at the: "Ok sure they're Nazi salutes - but that doesn't make them expressions of Nazism" stage of denial.

I get that hypocrisy is their only constant, but it’s comical that they are taking a stance of “we trust data” after the pandemic.
Johnson: "Elon's cracked the code. He's now inside these agencies. He's created these algorithms that are constantly crawling through the data & as he told me in his office, data doesn't lie. We're gonna be able to get the information. We're gonna be able to transform the way federal govt works."

Too bad this is the only thing it has accomplished in the last week and it will be fired by DOGE.
James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.

In retrospect, of course it was going to be KC vs Philly. It’s the only matchup that gives Jason Kelce the opportunity to be on TV 23 hrs a day the next 2 weeks.
