There's nothing shameful about an 80-year-old needing a mobility assistance device. But the way they totally refuse to acknowledge it is pretty sad.

"This is a silly dodge: In America, 'lawyer' and 'attorney' are synonyms. And it’s not a good excuse either: CNN promptly found at least fifteen times since last year that Zacharia had shared posts describing her as an 'attorney.'"

this clip 90 seconds long and Trump's audience doesn't make a peep the entire time. he's totally lost the crowd with his incoherent ranting
Soviet Union Prosperity Returns 😎 Tura... Krasnoyarsk Krai... Food queues are limited, standing in lines in the cold is now the norm. Viva Putin!, Viva Lenin! Russia, victory! 😂
Ben Shultz@benmshultz.net · 5d agoRe: Yandex, I hate to contribute to the disappointment of many, but adding to the pile that it doesn't seem to have affected much. We at @americansunlight.org found a Russian bot network focused on environmental topics in late 2024 called "EcoBoost." Looking at its activity, I see no recent dips.

As if things weren’t bad enough, Russian media is reporting that Kash Patel has arrived in Moscow. And a reminder he was paid by a Russian agent to participate in a documentary to spew disinformation and attack US agencies

NBC News@nbcnews.com · 5d agoTwo babies died. An 18-year-old with measles died from a rare complication that caused inflammation in the brain. At least six infants have been born infected with measles. There’s no way to predict which kids will get hit hardest.
Your reminder that all this human removal and detention of ethnic people DID NOT improve the job market or improve your quality of life. BOTH ARE WORSE for you as a matter of fact, while realizing you never cared because only the hate matters. Miserable and deplorable.
Often wondered about why hotels had become more expensive- assumed it was COVID, turns out it was fucking Expedia, a site I rarely use, if ever.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 5d agoNo matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.

You should read this. Also, we really need a Democratic government to rein in Amazon. Break it up, punish it with tax penalties. I don’t know the best way, but this is monopolistic behavior and it’s bad for everybody.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 5d agoHere's how Amazon broke the economy: first, they locked in a key group of shoppers. The vast majority of affluent shoppers in the USA have Amazon Prime accounts.
Worth a read today. This story illustrates just how pro-corporate and anti-everyday American this administration truly is. Trump’s claims about being “for the people” are, like everything else, a complete lie. newrepublic.com/article/2164...
