Holy crap, Uber has a time machine! They've taken sexual assault investigations back to the 1950s! What were you wearing? Did you like it? My god! Don't miss this – and use Lyft or some other service, not Uber! Gift link:

When you ride with Über, you ride with Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/business/uber-sexual-assault-lawsuits.html?unlocked_article_code=1.21A.iZ64.v2IZl8TZUs-T&smid=url-share

Durbin: "Mr Blanche has aided and abetted the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States ... Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about he statement he made in a room full of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."

Trump’s personal economy may be “thriving,” thanks to $2B in ill-gotten gains since returning to office, but Americans are not. Republicans have every reason to fear they will pay a political price for this rotten economic record, unmitigated corruption, misguided priorities, and gross incompetence.

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.

I'm confused. He says first he doesn't want only liberals, he wants a broad group—but then says he doesn't want everybody yelling at each other. It's not that "Bluesky is attracting liberals", Toni—it's that liberals fleeing Musk showed up here, and others came for a sane place to talk to *them*!

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Damn, when I'm looking at my responses on here and I see "4 likes" it occasionally causes a disturbing echo in my head of "4 lights!" ... then I have to look at something else real quick to displace it. Does that ever happen to anyone else? (IYKYK, don't ask)

as millions of americans this year have had to give up their health insurance **specifically because** trump and republicans made the decision to send premiums skyrocketing, the administration now says everyone who's lost coverage must have been committing fraud: www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

RFK Jr., Oz claim fraud crackdown drove ACA enrollment drop, but analysts cite rising costs

Rising premiums forced many people in Affordable Care Act plans to give up their coverage. But the Trump administration claims a huge drop in enrollment is almost entirely due to its fraud crackdown.

The fires destroying a large area of Spokane and too many other places in the west and northwest US are causing very bad air quality. If you're in this area I hope you're safe from fire – but don't spend too much time outdoors.

Screenshot of one segment of a newspaper article includes a map with different colors indicating the poor air quality in a large section of the Pacific Northwest. The text of this segment is: In recent weeks, winds have blown smoke toward the Rockies, Plains and East. But this week, changing winds will push the smoke westward, leading to degraded air quality in places such as Bend, Eugene, Portland and Salem in Oregon - where air quality is forecast to reach unhealthy levels in the days ahead. In Washington, Seattle also may be affected. Lowest air quality levels predicted through 2 a.m. Wednesday. This smoke will also be channeled southward toward California's coast, reaching Eureka from late Monday into Tuesday, before spreading offshore - not far from San Francisco - on Tuesday and Wednesday. Other cities forecast to be affected by reduced air quality include Boise, Idaho and Salt Lake City - which are also part of a zone across the Intermountain West and Plains that has an elevated (Level 1 out of 3) fire weather risk on Monday.

Here's why Trump is president (besides cheating): People gullible enough to fall for this crap—$1,000 for 6 hours of "extremely light and easy" work per week—will fall for any con man. Scams like this get eager responses all the time, despite how obviously preposterous they are.
