Just keeping up with America's meltdown. Enjoy posts with actual content. I mute or block those who post AI slop. (Ok, maybe not if it's screamingly funny.)
Mamdani would have been smarter to subsidize local bodegas to lower prices by some percentage. That wouldn't require new structures, and it would benefit people equally. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

➡️ “…constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that no longer can distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong… With such a people, you can do whatever you want.” ~ Hannah Arendt
Hungary’s new government also passed this constitutional amendment to “remove Constitutional Court judges who are over the age of 70.”
Now that the Reflecting Pool is drained, it is obvious that there is no long cut down the center. Instead, there is significant tire damage from 10,000 pound armored vehicles driving on the fresh coating at Trump's direct order. Time for a 10-year prison sentence?
Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Ireland has introduced a *200 MWh CO₂ battery system*, showcasing a new approach. When green electricity is abundant, CO₂ is compressed and stored. At high demand, the gas expands through turbines to generate electricity, helping stabilize the grid. #batteries #energystorage #ActOnClimate
GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.
Anyone else find it strange we got the MOU right before his birthday cage match at the end of June and then once the 4th and festivities (if you can call it that) were over somehow the war starts back up. He's just playing the stock market, he doesn't care about people dying on either side.
"A few days ago, we had 111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan" This is America in 2026.

Iran, during its strikes, did not hit a single hospital or school, not even accidentally, while Israel and the United States, both claiming to possess some of the most advanced and precise military technology in the world, have repeatedly been linked to attacks on civilian infrastructure.
On Saturday, an obese 80 year old man with cardiovascular issues is going to be standing in 100 degree heat, dressed in a suit and tie, slurring his way through a lie-filled speech live on national television. *fingers crossed*
Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.
Once you kill a child, or your policies and actions lead to the death of children, whatever the case may be, it doesn't matter how many satellites you put into space, what anyone says you are or aren't, or how much wealth you amass. At the end of the day, you are a child killer.

I noticed a few years ago (probably covid) that the news started filling time with “here’s what people are saying about this on twitter” as opposed to laying out the facts. It’s all just reactions: “critics say otherwise”. I guess in an effort to both-sides things? We’re all worse informed for it.
