That looks like it will be awful to drive at any real speed....
Five years after fleeing the last U.S. war, 1,100 Afghan refugees who risked their lives are stranded in a Qatar refugee camp as missiles rain overhead.
150 people are family members of U.S. servicemembers.
Unconscionable.

Already, I know people who are pointing out while it works great for expert coders who have a lot of experience and can see the flaws like they would with junior coders.
This, of course, will create some interesting issues in a few years when there are no junior codes to become expert coders...
The Trump administration heralds the Iran War as a Not-Woke War. Hereβs what that means in practice.
Again, only Republicans are allowed to ever talk this way about Real Folkz living in America, & there is a straight line through the last 160+ years of American history to "Non-Christians are not Real Americans & don't belong here."
Reuters: Kuwait and the UAE cut oil production. No traffic thru the Straits of Hormuz, and both countries are out of places to store it. This is not good for Trumpβs new Golden Era.
Republicans thought they had Texas on lockβthey were WRONG. Nearly 4.5 million voters just turned the state upside down, and for the first time since 2020, Democrats actually OUTNUMBERED the GOP. This isn't just a record; it's the regimeβs worst nightmare.
See the numbers theyβre trying to hide:
I LOVE how much curling has grabbed people this Winter Olympics.
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase βaccused him without evidenceβ no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory βhasnβt been formally charged.β www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
She literally had her passport with her at the airport and still got detained. AND THEN ICE lied to her family about where she was even though her phone location was being shared.

Simple as that! Brian Kilmeade tells oil tankers to go through the Strait of Hormuz: βShow some guts and go through that strait and and do itβ
This is a lovely idea

Lindseyβs diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
the funniest part of this article is when the author hits pause to be like "I personally don't read romance, I am in a book club called the Difficult Books Club where we read the Brothers Karamazov and kind of hate it." seems like the wrong person to be writing about romance and fanfic then idk
Screengrab: βAfter slashing federal jobs, Trump administration ramps up hiring β The reversal reflects a retreat from one of the president's early priorities. It could give the White House greater influence over a civilian workforce of 2 million.β
Fresh hell in the @washingtonpost.com part two: abject failure to mention this loyalist hiring surge is straight out of Project 2025.
Americans have no idea how much the world is shook, folks. Here in Thailand they have a running tally of how many days' worth of fuel the country has left.
NO NO NO YOU DONβT
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step βdesigned for normiesβ kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

Wait...the US forces everyone, including employees, to file their own taxes but doesn't provide the means for them to do so itself?? I refuse to believe the US is a real country, it has to be a work of fiction with the worst world building in history lol.
At first glance this idea may SOUND good, but the truth is that no poor person will benefit from it, middle class people will benefit from it only marginally, but the well-to-do would benefit substantially. This is a perverse policy disguised as a middle class cut

Idaho joined a growing list of red states rejecting the DOJβs unprecedented requests for private voter data.
At least eight GOP-led states have so far refused the departmentβs demands β and theyβre citing concerns over how such information could be used ahead of the midterms.https://bit.ly/4cwKV55
Republicans voted to overturn the ACA DOZENS of times, not because they actually could, but just to show they believed it was illegitimate & to keep their base engaged with them
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as βpointlessβ because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.
