Boy, are we fucked. Fascism, genocide, climate change, deepfakes, social media, disinformation, fake news, PFAS and other chemicals flooding our environment, the decline of reading, the profound threats to free speech, the loss of a shared reality, etc. So fucked.
AOC losing the leadership position to a 74yo white man illustrates that the democrats have learned absolutely NOTHING from last month's election. Why is it so fucking hard for these Dem boomers to get the fuck out of the way? I'm not even saying retire! Just pass the damn baton already! And this is about CONGRESS not boomers in general. We have more than 70 reps over the age of 70! I am not even a huge AOC fan, but Pelosi fucked us over on this one. It's time for the old guard to step the fuck down.
Until this problem is fixed, America is broken. You can't save a country where people are misinformed, confused, lost, and deliberately incited to rage. Russia and our enemies won the information war without firing a bullet.
As WNBA expansion continues, ownership of the NWSL's KC Current — which includes Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany — has met with the WNBA and is in contention to bring the league's next franchise to Kansas City. Mahomes also co-owns the KC Royals and Sporting KC.
Words fail. Words fail. Today the World Meteorological Association released their annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin. Carbon levels have reached a level not seen since the Pliocene Epoch 3 million years ago - when sea levels rose an astonishing 30-60 feet. We explain:

i’ve seen too much of Tom Brady my whole life and no one says anything about that but about Jason Kelce? someone who’s actually nice and fun?? please give this energy to people who actually suck
Friendly reminder: Trump's whole plan is to stoke the "he's got this in the bag" vibe in the final days, then use it to justify stealing the election when he doesn't win on the merits. Please do not do his work for him by panicking!
And this is the guts of it. A significant plurality of American voters can be easily convinced to vote against their own interests or desires if a candidate promises to hate and abuse the people they think they are supposed to hate and fear. And with a relentless demagogue on the loose, we are now approaching the threshold at which our electorate is too fucking stupid to operate a republic.
If future historians have to ask why the US collapsed into authoritarianism, I suggest they start by comparing the page A1 of the Times on Oct. 29, 2016, to page A12 of the Times on Oct. 24, 2024
Trump volunteered to pay for the funeral of a murdered U.S. soldier. When the bill came, Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!”

BREAKING: In a bombshell report from KKR, it has been EXPOSED that in 2020, Jack Dorsey secretly set up a multi-million dollar Super PAC to ensure Biden's election victory, while personally funneling tens of millions into Anti-Trump PACs. Dorsey also used his own Twitter account to AMPLIFY hundreds of Pro-Biden and Anti-Trump posts, racking up nearly 500 MILLION impressions to sway the public.
But that's not all—he actively pushed users to vote for Biden, spreading misinformation about his opponent, and even advised Biden on how to maximize his Twitter presence to crush Trump.
Oh wait, my mistake. That's not Jack Dorsey in 2020. That's Elon Musk RIGHT NOW, doing everything he can to prop up Trump on X. The hypocrisy is staggering.
