Kevin Hassett suggests Canadian authorities are covering up major fentanyl operations: "I can tell you that in the situation room I've seen photographs of fentanyl labs in Canada that the law enforcement folks were leaving alone. Canada's got a big drug problem."
Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

Here are some nice mushrooms
A family of bitter oysterling mushrooms grow off the side of a very decayed log, their caps and gills burst over each other like a wave breaking on a jetty. All photos by me

NEW: NYT asks Judge Ho to unseal newly filed govt exhibits in Eric Adams case that purport to show "troubling conduct" of SDNY prosecutors: "It is hard to imagine a circumstance in which the public interest would be higher and the privacy interest lower." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Dear Judge Ho:
I write on behalf of The New York Times Company ("The Times") to respectfully request that the Court not seal Exhibits A through H the
"Exhibits") to the Government's March 7, 2025 Response in Support of Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to Rule 48(a) (the "Response," Dkt. 160). The Government, with the consent of the Defendant, has filed a letter requesting that the Exhibits be sealed but cites only a single ground: the purported privacy interest of the attorneys involved in this prosecution. (Dkt. 161.) The Response makes clear that all the attorneys were high-ranking officials at the U.S. Attorney's Office or at the Justice Department or prosecutors in this action, all of whom have been identified publicly on the docket. Those privacy interests are insufficient to set aside the public's constitutional and common law rights of access to judicial documents. More to the point, the Government is introducing the Exhibits as evidence of potential wrongdoing by prosecutors in a case involving the prosecution of the highest-ranking official in New York City. It is hard to imagine a circumstance in which the public interest would be higher and the privacy interest lower.

My 4 year old nephew just pointed at my face and asked "what happened?" This may be the sickest burn I have ever received.
Why don’t they make the whole plane crash out of eggs so we don’t have them anymore?
We've reduced intelligence to what people can do with computers, which is fueling the current hype cycle.
The world apparently just hates my car.

Fellow parents of young ‘uns: My 4YO just loved the three Wild Robot books, and was very sad to find out there aren’t any more. So what’s good to read next? This is what he loved: Roz the Robot who cares for animals and is always kind and brave, the animals, and Big Battles with bad robots.
I'm sure the Free Speech Warriors are all over this. Oh wait sorry I was huffing paint, I forgot for three seconds that they are craven grifters with less intellectual consistency than Charles Manson getting offered a record deal.
There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.
Had a great game if 40K vs. my son Noah today and my Black Templars managed a rare win.

I used to work with some guys who right now would be like, “ok, so we need to quickly pivot to making a movie about a cat who must become an escort when Brighton Beach floods. And maybe it’s also a website where people can see all their social media at once.”
Whenever I post about something political, people often write incredibly irate replies addressing "you" meaning the subject of the post (not me, the author of the post). I usually figure it out only after feeling kinda yucky for a second. And then I do it all over again on the next comment.
