Definitely rooting for El-Sayed in MI and nothing would make me happier than AIPAC setting $30-$60 million on fire, roughly 1.5 million people voted. This is such a perfect example of how fucked up our elections are! That’s an OSCENE amount of $$ to spend on a very small percentage of voters.

This is fucking INSANE! If I ever see an ad forced into the control panel of a car i’m driving I’m immediately going to the closest high point of land, getting out of the car, and pushing that fucking car over the cliff.

BMW Is Playing a Spider-Man Ad on Its Dashboard Displays, and People Are Pissed

The automaker is framing it as an 'exclusive' animation tied to a broader brand partnership with the new Spider-Man movie.

Stumbled on this book at a library sale, liked the cover, blurbs from Ann Patchett, Adam Johnson and T.C. Boyle so I bought it. Absolutely phenomenal novel about the Chechen wars. Writing is incredibly powerful, story is so compelling, characters tremendously well drawn. Debut novel! Two thumbs up!

Exactly what I was thinking. Rand Paul is a piece of shit, and every Senator who harassed and badgered a retired 85-year old scientist who devoted his life to serving this country is one too. They have no shame, no honor, no dignity, no decency, no compassion, no morals, no class and no humanity!

Rand Paul forced 85-year-old Fauci to testify before Congress…but 84-year-old McConnell has been out of view for six weeks since his hospitalization and Paul hasn’t said a word. Funny how accountability only matters when it’s politically convenient. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/Ah6CfULsHTBi...

Very happy to live in a community that bans any new data center development for 18 months! Hopefully this whole absurd generative AI industry will have crumbled to dust by the time the 18 months has passed!

Montgomery County passes 18-month data center moratorium

The unanimous vote for the 18-month moratorium follows County Executive Marc Elrich’s June executive order that placed a six-month moratorium on data centers.

I mean, Zuckerberg’s claim to fame STARTED with a site that rated how hot other women were. Is ANYONE suprised that this is where Meta is now? Delete FB, IG, and What’s App and stop supporting this company. There’s very stiff competition but they really might be the worse!

FWIW, Meta was fully aware of how these glasses would primarily be used. The glasses were designed to erase consent, and that is why they exist. Anything that they do that suggests they want to ameliorate this use is an attempt to win the PR battle and manipulate public opinion.

I encourage anyone who cares about Washington, DC to share your thoughts with the NPS! And don’t hold back! I didn’t!

National Park Service has open comment page, for Albert Speer Memorial Arch that is next on MAGA wish list You can make comments here: parkplanning.nps.gov/documentsOpe... That page has lots of "before and after" illustrations. Below, before/after view from near JFK/RFK grave site in Arlington

They are intentionally hiring the worst of the worst. This man never should've been within 1000 miles of a position of authority, and now an innocent 26 year old man is dead. When Dems regain power, all of the architects of this should be in jail!

I'm gonna re up this. Kentucky gov is like "wah I haven't heard from him or his office." Who gives a shit. PLAY HARDBALL. Appoint someone and call an election. Make THEM prove he's alive and capable. Stop playing by the rules! This isn't complicated. Do what Mitch would've done!

Unsolicited advice for Dems re: Moscow Mitch. Dem gov- appoint temporary replacement and schedule special election. If he's indeed alive/well as R's claim he can certainly find a minute to have "20-min conversation" with gov and member of media! Try playing hardball you might like it!

I haven't been listening to as much heavy music as I used to, but regardless this is amazing. First of all they still sound incredible. Secondly, how the hell did Napalm Death get on @npr.org that's incredible. And finally, these guys are unapologetic leftists and socialists! Love it!

Napalm Death: Tiny Desk Concert

Napalm Death's ongoing campaign for musical destruction comes to the Desk. The founding fathers of grindcore speed through a sprawling catalog with manic energy.
