    He should quickly blanket pardon himself so the Republicans push to codify that a president cannot pardon himself.

    Then he should arrest and seize the property of all members of the opposition party under some BS national security claim. The Supreme Court has already granted immunity for this sort of actions by presidents so no need for another pardon.


  • I am starting to think about that Trump just learned what a tariff is during this election cycle. Still has no idea how they work, what their purpose is, when they should be used, nor how they impact local and global economies but, gosh darn it, if he isn’t excited to show off his new knowledge.

    Maybe if they have him write out the word “TARRIF” on a piece of paper and put that paper on the white house fridge, he can be proud of it everyday and be able to move on to his next vocabulary word.









  • Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn’t matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.

    All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.

    I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.

    The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.

    I wonder if “followers” includes users and how that will impact Twitter, Reddit, Facebooky, Instagram, TikTok, etc who use stats like active users to drive ad sales.



  • The young man sporting the white mask and a white hoodie in widely shared video clips is Edan On, a local 18-year-old high school senior, his mother confirmed to CNN, though she later said he denies being at UCLA.

    His mother must be so proud 🙄

    “Edan went to bully the Palestinian students in the tents at UCLA and played the song that they played to the Nukhba terrorists in prison!” his mother boasted in Hebrew on Facebook, referencing Hamas. She circled an image of him that had been broadcast on the local news.

    Oh, I guess that she is.



  • It’s not clear why the man wanted so many vaccinations or how he obtained them.

    Schober and the team compared the man’s immune responses—measured by his blood antibody levels, the first line of defense against a virus, and T cell levels, which are responsible for the body’s longer-term response—to those of a control group of 29 people who had received three COVID-19 shots.

    “His immune system was neither positively nor negatively affected," says Schober.

    I fixed the article. Somebody accidentally added a bunch of crap that provided no meaningful information.



  • I think this line hints at it the underlying motivation.

    A national poll conducted in late 2022 found that 4 out of 10 Americans believe society has become too “soft and feminine.”

    Basic mysogyny to have a negative and / or “less than” mentality around women. I think a lot of males don’t consciously realize how much they marginalize and dehumanize women but are desperate to avoid being treated or thought of in the same manner. But that’s just an opinion based on zero research on the topic.
