Even Fox News was suspicious with the Trump Administration's new scheme to pay immigrants $1,000 to self-deport, with host Bill Hemmer asking a DHS official today 'why should they trust' this plan. 'So, if you're an illegal alien…you can get a flight, paid for by DHS, and we...
The United States' semiquincentennial is up next year, and convicted felon #47, Donald Trump, wants to make it a celebration of him. As the Trump Administration has been whitewashing government websites, museums, and monuments of history that MAGAs do not like, Donald Trump ...
Not to say I called it or anything, but I did kind of call it a little. Emboldened by the Switch 2 and its frankly ridiculous price points for its games – and doubtlessly also by Sony following suit – Xbox has also announced a range of mid-generation price hikes for no...
Remember that delicious feeling of letting your mind float away like a lazy cloud on a summer afternoon? No? That's because your phone has murdered your capacity for wanderlust and buried it in a shallow grave marked 'increased engagement metrics.' Christine Rosen's essay in ...
Still nursing a £50 million grudge from its failed UK deportation deal, Rwanda is batting its eyes at Uncle Sam. As reported in Al Jazeera, Rwanda's Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe confirmed they're in 'early stage' talks with the U.S. about taking in deported...
Next week, acclaimed cartoonist Peter Kuper's new book Insectopolis: A Natural History will be released. It's a magnificent achievement in cartooning, presenting the story of insects, of their relationship to humans, and of the humans who have studied them, all told with...
So Rockstar lied about that whole 'holding fast to 2025' thing. This is my shocked face. An official release date for the most hyped entertainment product in human history since the wheel after endless speculation should be a cause for celebration… if that release date weren'...
Over the weekend, convicted felon Donald Trump raved about reopening the decrepit and crumbling former Federal prison turned tourist attraction. Closed in 1963, because even then it was an unmaintainable, not cost-effective, and inhumane prison, Donald Trump is fantasizing...
As far as claims to fame go, 'calling a 5-year-old the N-word' wouldn't be my first choice, but Rochester, Minnesota woman Shiloh Hendrix seems to be making it work for her. Hendrix, who formerly went by AngloSaxonWoman on Twitter, was captured hurling the slur at both an...
TL;DR: Replace Microsoft 365 with a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2019 while it's on sale for $29.97. I see you there, rocking that old school PC. No judgement. I still have a Dell from 2016. One of the only reasons I've thought about upgrading to a newer machine is...
Michael Jeffries, the former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO charged with two others over young men allegedly sex trafficked at parties, was ruled unfit for trial by a federal judge. Reportedly suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other ailments, Jeffries was ordered hospitalized...
President Trump isn't out with rural voters in the latest PBS/NPR/Marist poll, conducted in late April among 1,439 adults, but he's down sharply from the February high—and less than half of them now approve of his performance in office. The first 100 days did not go well....
Fluoride protects teeth against decay, but adding it to the water has long been a source of conspiracy theories and conservative anxiety—see Alex Jones ranting about gay frogs for a recent frisson of fear along such lines. With Trump in the White House, RFK Jr. — Read the...
Texas Republican Stan Gerdes (R-Smithville) introduced a bill that would outlaw furry behaviors (such as meowing and defecating in litterboxes) from schools there. Challenged to provide an example of this sort of thing happening, he was unable to do so and the bill died in...
'I taught an AI to commentate Pong in Real Time,' writes Parth Parikh, almost confessionally. '… xPong is all about Pong — but with a twist: there's LLM-based commentary generation integrated into the game.' And so it does, with all the euphoric detail of game day. — Read...
Bose, the company that makes decent speakers, invented something astonishing more than 20 years ago: an electromagnetic suspension system for automobiles. The footage of it in action (already curiously dated, thanks to the vintage of the test vehicles and low resolution of...

If, like me, you've run out of clever ways to express your true feelings about the current regime—I mean, there's just so many iterations of 'f*cking a*sholes' one can utter before the sentiment loses its punch—I've got a great new resource for you! — Read the rest The p...
Root the box turtle is missing a front foot. He gets around pretty well in his enclosure at the Museum of Natural History in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is covered in wood chips. However, Root gets to explore outside his enclosure three times a week for enrichment. — Read...

Someone stole $90 million from a company I was involved in. I'm a poor judge of people. The company collapsed. Some things I can't learn. I tend to like people too much. So it's hard for me to be a good judge of people, no matter how much I try. — Read the rest The post The...
