One has to imagine Warner Brothers regrets pissing off Chris Nolan. I mean since he left he's just crushed it.
This is interesting. I was just thinking about how much better it would be if all insurance companies had to be non profits.

More lying per the usual. In this case, grifting credit for things done by others.
Exactly. There is zero mystery to this.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 11h agoI know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.
DHS says Carlos “weaponized” his car. Police chief Jim Bueermann saw reckless tactics and an apparent accidental discharge. Fleeing is not an imminent deadly threat. Dismissed with prejudice. PAXIS is free and helps immigrants deal with ICE. Help keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS
During Operation Metro Surge, Minnesotans — including our siblings in labor and community organizations— worked together to keep our neighbors safe from the terror and intimidation of ICE. Operation Puppet Master reveals yet another disgusting violation of Minnesotans’ rights.
The Trump admin must be held accountable for everything they have done.
our entire global financial system is currently leveraged to the hilt on the premise that it was good and right for a small cadre of US companies to steal all of the intellectual work ever produced by humanity and sell its back to us without credit or remuneration to the authors (plagiarism)
I guess Monopoly is only a boardgame at this point.

Judge Winmill ruled that Idaho cannot force someone to endure serious or permanent injury, including serious mental-health risks, for the sake of continuing a pregnancy. He blocked prosecution of doctors providing abortions in those circumstances. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Idaho must allow abortions to preserve women's health, US judge rules
A U.S. judge has ruled that Idaho's near-total abortion ban is unconstitutional because it provides exceptions when abortions are life-saving and not for broader risks to pregnant women's health.

When covering acts of the Trump administration, reporters and editors should ask themselves, "is this a thing Nazis would do?" If the answer is "yes," then the coverage should reflect that. Call Nazis Nazis.

“We need to face facts that the US military is in terrible shape and it will continue to get worse under the present leadership. This is in some ways the greatest scandal in US history. The US has spent about $9 TRILLION on defense since 2016, and has created this deeply flawed, deteriorating force”

What's funny (and so utterly pathetic) about this is that if you want to be a warrior or a cowboy or an astronaut, you can just do that. Go sign up. Do the training. This guy actively chose not to, so now he plays digital dress-up for his loser followers.

Is Kalshi offering odds on whether or not it can still do business in Washington state?
Kathryn Tewson@kathryntewson.bsky.social · 2d agoA King County Superior Court judge in Washington state has found that Kalshi’s trick of calling itself a “prediction market” doesn’t make it not gambling under the Washington Gambling Act, and has therefore ordered Kalshi to stop almost all activity within the state.

I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.
