you cannot start a breaking news alert with “A helicopter carrying President Trump” without dumping a gallon of serotonin into my bloodstream. please be more careful with words

The serendipity of the photo is hard to comprehend. Two decades ago, a rising star and a newborn were paired together for a photo shoot. Now, they are battling for the World Cup. “It’s like serendipity, a miracle or something,” the photographer tells NBC News. nbcnews.to/4w9KkNH

If you don’t have anything pressing to say but feel like posting on social media, remember that it’s never wrong to say Elon Musk is a pathological liar, a deliberate promoter of global starvation, and a disgusting clump of duck droppings wrapped in human skin.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

ABC paid Trump. CBS paid Trump. NBC's parent paid Trump. WaPo, CBS and CNN all pull punches. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10

a gray and white australian koolie with bright blue eyes looks directly at the camera with a tongue-out smile. he's wearing a blue vest and the sun shines down upon him.Bear stands on charred ground wearing his blue vest and red booties. he looks up toward the sky. he's presumably found a koala high up in a tree.Bear sits low to the ground on a sandy beach. the waves of the ocean come in behind him, but he's too focused on the orange and yellow ball sitting in front of him to notice.
