For "national security," but doesn't care about safety.
“I am the code.”

So said President Trump to the first architect working on the new White House ballroom being built on the ruins of the building’s East Wing, scoffing at his concerns over possible fire, health, and safety violations.
Trump to ballroom architect: “I am the code”
Yet another presidential vanity project skips the rules—in this case, fire safety rules.

Good analysis of how podcast bros coopted MAHA and steered the Trump admin's efforts toward the health anxieties of men (protein, testosterone, etc) and away from the priorities of the moms who founded the movement (pesticides, chemical additives in food)
Women built MAHA. MAGA bros have taken it over.
Forget regulating food—manly MAHA cares about meat, testosterone, and erectile dysfunction.

every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women

The idea of a recruiter having to ask a guy if he gets morning wood is objectively funny.
NEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.

I keep going back to the number of gags / scares in the Resident Evil movie based on a first-time player losing their mind in frustration. The puzzles, the doors, the reloading. The more I think about it, the more I’m in awe of Cregger pulling this off so well.

"Boys in girls' sports" right up there with the same importance as bombing elementary schools.

More than one person thought this embarrassing shit was smart.
Holy shit.

Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.

"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."

This is getting out of control.

It feels like they're laying the groundwork for whatever bad shit does happen.

They can just say "At least we're still alive!" and the reporter will laugh politely and move on.
The AI people can be bullshitting about the machine god stuff AND cynically seeking regulation to stop new entrants AND running a financial scam among themselves AND STILL create something with very bad consequences!

He’s not “on the other side of the aisle,” he’s a private citizen whose only job is bagman! That you frame him as equivalent to a congressional leader is the entire problem!! Fuck!
Jeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."

The president must escalate and send in another son.
The drones that hit Saudi Arabia’s major pipeline came from Iraq.

So the Saudis are getting it from two directions—the Houthis to the southwest and Iraqi militias from the northeast—in addition to Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

No easy path out of this one.

He also offered one possible solution to the cybersecurity risks: OpenAI’s own cyber services.

The media gave more coverage to a totally fake, invented idea that the federal government was withholding aid to Hurricane Helene victims in 2024 than to Trump actually doing it in 2025/26. Why did the fake story get more coverage than the real one?
Ahead of the midterms, Trump isn’t even being subtle about his brazen politicization of federal disaster relief aid, explicitly tying approvals to campaign endorsements and election results.

It’s one of the underappreciated scandals of his second term.

It's also telling that they're glad to have Nazis on the team, they just have to fall in line.
While Yiannopoulos’ deportation contains an extremely rich vein of schadenfreude, it’s also indicative of how power, punishment, and influence currently work in the MAGA movement, and broader crackup within that feud-heavy word, where fragile alliances are constantly being made, broken and remade.
What the deportation of Milo Yiannopoulos tells us about the state of MAGA
The saga goes to the heart of the disturbing nature of power, influence, and punishment in Trump’s America.

I’m reading Cannery Row. Jesus Christ is it amazing. So great to live in a world where I can be almost 50, have been an avid reader my whole life & have barely scratched the surface of the surface of spectacular books out there.

I think about this clip all the time, it was like a dating game or something, men standing in queue behind the guy at the mic, and the woman behind the table says "what's your favorite Joe Rogan episode" and he says "oh great question--" and she says "no, that was a trick question, goodbye"
impromptu dating tip for 2026: before agreeing to leave the house to meet any new and potentially interesting stranger, ask if they're into podcasts and which ones. Any gender. There are wrong answers.
men have figured out a new dating technique and it's "less personal grooming"

it's a bold strategy cotton let's see if it works out for them

New Wolves of Glendale album today! I got to see them live last week, and it was one of the best shows I've been to. The fact these aren't one of the most popular bands is wild to me.

once you personally have become rich and successful, those things only matter if you still have the capacity to care deeply about people outside your immediate circle

and that is harder than becoming rich
