Did Hodges mess up big time and lose the election over this? Yes. Has Frey messed up like 1000x worse but somehow got reelected twice? Also yes! Did the Strib clearly hate Hodges but love Frey? Yes again!

Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"

America, including Minneapolis-St.Paul, is openly hostile to artists and art. You don't even need to talk to someone from Europe, just look at the numbers and what gets financial support and recognition.
'Struggling artists' isn't a trope, according to a new report. The survey asked more than 2,600 artists about everything from hours worked to housing. n.pr/3LLFZ0J
As a labor force, artists are 'invisible.' A new survey tries to change that

If we care about stopping countries that abuse human rights, we should invade Israel and Saudi Arabia. If we care about stopping the flow of refugees, we should have boots on the ground in Sudan. Why is Venezuela being singled out for an attack?

Cornholio in many ways is a manifestation of the madness he lives under. Forced to be a pawn he yearns for freedom, he lashes out against the world around him but cannot bring himself to do so *as himself* because to do so would mean to confront the devil Butthead and the suffering he has inflicted

Uber but surveillance state
NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public

If this were a mistake it wouldn’t have happened 78 times; it’s the core function of news media
Since January 2023, the New York Times has cited Rep. Ralph Norman, R-SC, in 78 stories. None mentioned that Norman secretly urged the Trump White House in 2021 to declare martial law – in effect, a military-backed coup. Norman wasn’t charged, but the NYT gave him a “pardon” anyway.
