Alito's turn: Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court WWW.PROPUBLICA.ORG In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.

It's absolutely wild to me that Pence thinks he can run for President on a platform that's more or less "don't vote Trump because he instigated a mob that wanted to kill me, but other than that, I agree with Trump on everything"

Yaccarino went to Penn St., and I guess she's got some old tweets taking Joe Paterno's side when the NCAA took his career win record away after the Sandusky stuff

Tesla 'Autopilot' crashes nearly triple, despite Elon Musk's claims - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM Crashes have surged in the past four years, reflecting the hazards associated with increasingly widespread use of Tesla’s futuristic driver-assistance tech.

Repeatedly capitalizing "Boxes" for no reason is such a classic weird Trump thing.

Just got back from 2 weeks in Italy, which kicked ass. We used the high speed trains for 3 different trips. I guess it's a step down from my experience with the Shinkansen in Japan in that the train was actually like 10 minutes late one time, but it's as comfortable a ride and extremely easy to buy tickets from an app and find your platform at the stations. We need cool-ass trains in this country, man. I really think it's a radicalizing experience to use one of these systems once. I think so many people who scoff at the idea of investing in trains really have no concept of what riding a modern train is actually like because the entire stock of passenger train cars in the US is from like 1966.

The meme that came out of this where people recreate the four frames of the comic and try to one up each other in how abstract it can get is one of the most derranged things the internet has ever produced.

Peggy knew.

Jacksonville was the biggest city in the country that had a Republican mayor. Florida Democrats flip the Jacksonville mayor’s office in a major upset WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Jacksonville was the largest city in the country with a GOP mayor, and the Republican candidate Tuesday had the backing of Gov. Ron DeSantis. Yemi Mobolade declares victory in Colorado Springs mayoral runoff election, Wayne Williams concedes | KRDO KRDO.COM COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Less than twenty minutes after the first batch of results came down in the Colorado Springs Mayoral runoff election, a candidate has conceded.

Seems like there should be an exemption for YouTube videos above a certain threshold of views.

I'm seeing a bunch of bots in replies all of a sudden with nothing except login info and a URL of random numbers and letters. I have no idea what the scam actually is, all I know is the site feels more washed than ever. Feels like there's no semblance of moderation left.

Motherfucker was president for four years. Which of his opinions have I been siloed off from, exactly?

Y'all got any of them bluesky invites

Dianne Feinstein Returns To Senate After Nearly Three-Month Absence WWW.HUFFPOST.COM The ailing California Democrat appeared at the Capitol to cast a vote amid a prolonged bout with shingles that left her needing a wheelchair. This is so fuckin' grim, man.

"they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence"

LAPD shoots and kills at least 1 dog at homeless encampment in South LA ABC7.COM Police have shot and killed a chained-up dog at a homeless encampment in South Los Angeles. Apparently you don't have to say "police-involved shooting" when it's a dog that gets shot. You can just say what happened in the headline in plain terms. Interesting.

Lawsuit filed against Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen challenging debt limit law as congressional standoff threatens default WWW.CBSNEWS.COM A union representing federal employees is calling the law governing the debt limit unconstitutional in a new lawsuit. Worth a shot I guess

Content warning: graphic description of gunshot trauma: Man who witnessed Allen outlet mall shooting describes carnage: 'It's just unfathomable' WWW.CBSNEWS.COM Steven Spainhouer said he found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed. I've noticed recently it seems like they're putting more of these descriptions in news stories about this stuff, and I've seen more than one commentary site publish articles titled something like "What an AR-15 round does inside the body." I think people in journalism are as sick of this shit as anyone else, but who knows if that can actually affect change when one entire political party plus most of the Supreme Court still can't be bothered to give a shit.

Not sure why the news media has to keep up with the pretense that these statements are being written by Feinstein herself.

I kinda think Ring doorbells have been a net negative for society too. Republicans in Illinois were running an ad last fall that was just a voiceover put over somebody's Ring doorbell footage of a guy getting beaten up in the street outside. And it's like... yeah, that sucks, but presumably this is a thing that has happened outside of people's houses from time to time throughout human history and it's only now that your doorbell starts automatically filming it.

The guy made a follow up post later that was even more fucked up. It turned out to be a little girl looking for her cat, and he wrote two separate times in the same post something like, "I was so mad that I just wanted to yank her by the hair", which adds a whole other dimension of weird to the whole thing.

The fact that he literally wrote down "No mention of Ginny, of course" is wild
