Obese gray male, introverted, cranky, woke but needs a nap. Enjoys solitude, old movies, long bus rides, and a good bowel movement.

  • Trump announces two year closure for Kennedy Center for renovation work

    Jump

  • Closing the Kennedy Center for a "thorough renovation," like the east wing of the White House. He's going to tear it down.

  • The Story Behind Billie Eilish, Justin and Hailey Bieber Wearing “ICE OUT” Pins at the Grammys

    Jump

  • I'll admit that I haven't and won't click the link, but isn't this the NEWS community?

  • French IT giant Capgemini to sell US subsidiary after row over ICE links

    Jump

  • I share most of your skepticism, but it is a good thing when companies have to grapple with bad publicity for being, well, bad companies.

  • US committee is reconsidering all vaccine recommendations

    Jump

  • Finally, a plan to address overpopulation.

  • St. Peter [Minnesota] police chief intervenes, prevents federal agents from arresting resident

    Jump

  • So all it takes to get police to intervene in an ICE abduction is... being good buddies with the police chief.

  • Trump Admits He Is “Not at All” Deescalating ICE Raids After Democrats Fold on Government Shutdown

    Jump

  • Exactly. We the people elected lots of worthless Democrats by voting blue-no-matter-who, and those worthless Democrats elected Chuck Schumer as Most Worthless Democrat.

  • Minneapolis ICE watchers face violence, teargas and arrests. They keep showing up

    Jump

  • The people united will never be defeated.

  • How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are: Agents use facial recognition, social media monitoring and other tech tools not only to identify undocumented immigrants...

    Jump

  • This is the brave new world Edward Snowden warned us about.

  • Exclusive: ICE officers in Minnesota directed not to interact with 'agitators' in new orders

    Jump

  • The agitators, of course, are the face-wrapped and camouflage-clad Secret Police. Everyone else in Minneapolis lives there and belongs there.

    And obviously, the purpose of this invasion has jack crap to do with immigration. The intent is to trigger a violent response, which will provide the basis for Trump & the Republicans to exponentially increase the violence and replace the America we've called home with abject fascism.

  • Maxwell Lobs Grenade Naming 29 ‘Protected’ Epstein Friends

    Jump

  • Cordially, if it's news, it'll make its way to a serious news site.

  • Maxwell Lobs Grenade Naming 29 ‘Protected’ Epstein Friends

    Jump

  • A rule of journalism: When a news headline includes words like blasts, blisters, bombshell, burns, claps back, drags, epic self-own, explodes, freaks out, goes nuclear, goes viral, humbles, humiliates, melts down, mind-blowing, rages, rips, roasts, shocking, skewers, slams, staggers, stuns, trends online, or trolls, find a better source. The only exception is when the word is used literally, i.e., a bombshell *actually explodes.

    Now I'll add 'grenade' to the list.

  • What It’s Like to Get Undressed by Grok

    Jump

  • Luckily I'm not a legislator, don't need to have watertight solutions to propose for every problem, but the answer certainly isn't a shrug. Learning to live with it — free fake porn of anyone, indistinguishable from true porn — is not a tenable future for a civilized society (if we're ever planning to have one of those).

  • Video: Man Lunges at Ilhan Omar During Minneapolis Town Hall

    Jump

  • Excellent Rep in Congress and also a tough cookie. Would you have come straight at an attacker like she did? (Not me, I'm a coward and I'd cringe.) Rep Omar would've taken the perp down herself, if the security dude hadn't stepped up so quickly.

  • Trump says government will 'de-escalate a little bit' in Minnesota after Pretti shooting

    Jump

  • What Trump says is worthless.

  • Disappeared bodies, mass burials and ‘30,000 dead’: what is the truth of Iran’s death toll?

    Jump

  • I'm guessing you mean politicians who have a history of manufacturing consent? The Guardian generally has my respect. As do you.

  • What It’s Like to Get Undressed by Grok

    Jump

  • OK, but also not the point, when there's suddenly free software that allows anyone anywhere to nudify any photo just by typing a few words.

  • Trump’s ICE crackdown faces reckoning as outrage mounts over Alex Pretti shooting

    Jump

  • I'm not a Democrat at all, support gun rights, own two myself, and also support gun control. (:

  • Families of two men killed in Trump’s military boat strikes sue US government

    Jump

  • If there are still laws, if judges still look at laws, these were murders.

  • Exclusive: Hegseth boosts Minneapolis immigration siege, approving use of military base

    Jump

  • Nothing is accomplished by such daydreams. It's been in the news that Secretary of Defense Hegseth has approved this atrocity, so these won't be "unauthorized personnel."
