i guess im really impressed that all the load-bearing fictions held for as long as they did. especially given that it turned out to largely be load-bearing fictions all the way down

“A press release says an officer noted there had been no recent activity on the cameras, and when they went to check them, they found the poles they were on cut down, and the cameras gone. Police report finding the poles in nearby weeds, but the cameras were removed.” Lol
Eight Flock cameras stolen throughout Winona have authorities asking the public's help getting them back.
Cool logo. Don’t care for their theme song tho.

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

I had a reverse psychology joke but you don’t want to hear it.

Without having had the time to read all of it, this Chelsea verdict seems scandalous. It is a decade of cheating, it did impact a huge number of clubs. Arguably changes the direction of English football.
And a Friday news dump for Chelsea’s two window ban for a decade of cheating during the Abramovich era. Swerved points deductions again. Well done everyone

I'm just going to shoot my shot since you follow me: -I am NOT a good person -If you get me on a talkshow with Ken Klippenstein I WILL lunge over the desk and try to jam a belt sander into his crotch while yelling "Smoothgroin gang" -I belong in prison -I have some experience with Drupal
This is a very good job that'll be a little hard. You're basically running point on an omnichannel comedy network for aspiring paranoiacs that will turn into a cult of its own. Apply or tell your smartest friend to apply. There's a war on for your mind and we need a John Brown.
This story is so absurd that I think it didn’t get enough attention. Chicago police is violating the law to the tune of hundreds of thousands of secret traffic stops that it’s not reporting as the law requires. When Pascal discovered this, they said they’d fix it… but secrecy has only increased!
Chicago Police officials said they would address the 200,000+ secretive traffic stops I had uncovered two years ago that were hidden from oversight. But now as CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling retires, the issue is worse— *half* of all stops in the last year were not properly documented
History is full of ironies. Wow! No shit? Really grabbing me as a reader with that cutting insight.
This is the first passage of Maggie and Swan's book. Consider the agency it sets up. Democrats. Partisanship. Why not focus on the "irony" that Maggie had done propaganda for the man for years? Why make this about Democrats, rather than her complicity?

I got permission from the trans Vatican to call this guy a cunt.
This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.
It’s kinda funny how much he hates the one guy most responsible for him ever winning the presidency.

Not sure if anything would rewrite the US political landscape faster than the kids just, you know, voting.
Francesca Hong has just a preposterously ridiculous lead in the 18-29 and 30-44 age groups, per the Marquette poll. No other candidate is even in double-digits among voters under 45.

Not just mislabeled but fictitious shapes. Like these aren‘t even real borders. The shape of the continent might be the lone accuracy on the map.
We can't even. "A senior US State Department official displayed a map of Africa that was completely wrong before high-level officials from African nations, including some whose countries had been mislabelled." open.substack.com/pub/emilysba...
I’m out in western suburbs taking my mom to the doctor and the hale coming down is pretty bad. Kind of scary how noisy it is. Be careful out there, Chicagoland!
Every single journalist who attended the WHCD sucks shit. They’re all sociopathic assholes. They do not deserve our respect. They do not deserve our trust. They’re traitors to their profession and our country.
Trump to journalists at the White House Correspondents Dinner: “When I’m gone, you’re all gonna be broke.”
Julie Delpy. She came into Gersh one day when I was there and my jaw dropped. Mind this was 25 years ago so don’t know how that extrapolates.
Random question: what celebrity have you met in real life who was dramatically better looking than ypu thought they were based on on screen appearance?
Incredible customer service. Very attentive. Loves cucumbers. Would return.
I recently lost my best friend and this thread made me weepy. She wasn’t famous like Steve but fuck if I didnt treasure our relationship and maybe I should have let her know it more when she was around.
Anyway, happy birthday, man. I know you never gave a fuck about it, and I’m late anyway, but hey. I loved you, I know you loved us, and I’m glad we heard it from each other while you were still around.
Kinda over knowing about thoroughly inconsequential people because media folks can’t not take the bait.
