One more thing on Platner, people have always said/done some wild things in their private lives. The only difference now is we didn’t have social media and smart phones till the 2000’s. Platner winning (which I think is likely) might be good for Dems. They need to be ok with imperfect candidates.

How can I avoid the World Cup?

It’s the longest ever. What’s a non-football fan to do?

I think the whole Graham Platner question now is about Redemption. Platner’s imperfect and has done some crappy even horrible stuff in his past, he had PTSD, a drinking problem, was a bad bf to some people and all that jazz. But he’s changed his life and wants to serve. That’s a compelling story.

Hungary is having a blast; the quality of life has improved across the nation since Orban was cast away into the dark forest away from human civilization.

I need to make myself some coffee. And then I’m back to grinding in Persona5.

If you thought gas prices were outrageous in California now, they’re about to get even higher. The LAST Middle East oil tanker is arriving in California. #TrumpsGasFailure

A 17-year old boy was charged on Thursday with murder in connection with an attack on a man who had been sleeping on the street in Times Square. The NYPD said the attack was motivated by a social media trend.

The way all of this could be avoided. 3 already dead. Others injured. More to come because of this ridiculous war. Also, delete ChatGPT and use Claude AI

You could not get me outside shoveling snow now.

All 47 had to do was declare victory re the tariffs, bash the SCOTUS a bit and carry on… it would have been bad… But my God he’s made us even worse.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.

“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

I’m concerned about this hurricane. 🙁

Fake video walk-throughs, a magically expanding loft, and stair hallucinations are just some of the new AI-generated features house hunters are coming across.

So what would stop Trump from waking up in the middle of the night, saying "fuck it," and ordering that the rest of the White House be torn down and replaced with a tall golden tower in the shape of a T? abcnews.go.com/Politics/his...

At least 2 historic magnolia trees, Kennedy Garden appear to have been removed to make way for Trump's White House ballroom

Satellite images show that President Donald Trump's project to build a $300 million grand ballroom has appeared to take down at least six trees on the White House grounds

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

I really do hope that whenever the Dems come back in power…. Whenever they get the three branches…. They need to IMMEDIATELY break the filibuster, pass voting reform, pass SCOTUS reform, ban gerrymandering AND add DC and PR as states. We need proper guardrails.

I hate it here sometimes.

Those inflation numbers are atrocious.
