  1. Why are you posting tweets from a known purveyor of misinformation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_Report
  2. I'm planning to head out there in about a month and will report back.
  3. At first, I half expected that one guy on the floatie get washed over the side.
  4. And isolation. With the trade wars, the economic isolation is obvious. But there's also the physical isolation from making the prospect of coming here, even for tourists, so unpleasant no one does. And, if countries start retaliating against our citizens visiting elsewhere, we won't travel. Plus, we're already seeing academics/scientists, even American ones, beginning to flee.
  5. Making up warrants on the fly to justify rounding up folks after the fact, just so they can meet a quota. So sloppy that they even arrested a US citizen. Land of the free, and the home of the brave.
  6. From The Athletic, a long read on the battle over H-town Blue and Titans Blue along with lore/history about the move. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5932880/2025/03/28/titans-texans-oilers-throwback-uniforms-nfl/ No gift link option is available, so here's an Internet Archive one instead: https://archive.is/5zmtE
  7. As the son of two public school teachers, that was a horrible oversight on my part. Thanks for mentioning it.
  8. Was it this guy or Kash Patel who said he basically plans to run his agency from Vegas instead of DC?
  9. I'm sure the fine folks of Midland are champing at the bit to drop Legacy and get their beloved Lee High School back along with their band in Confederate uniforms and the crowd waving that shitty rebel flag.
  10. Absolutely, it's performative. My biggest practical concern about their deployment to Big Bend is the potential damage those Strykers might do to the desert floor if they start going off-road. That might sound trivial but desert ecosystems can be really fragile to that sort of thing.

  12. Passive aggressive bullying of a gigantic frozen island that they want to steal. The entourage wasn't welcome, so he never left the US base that's located almost 1,000 miles north of Greenland's capital.
  13. 73 new cases reported since Tuesday, and two more counties have been added to the list: Andrews and Midland. Of the 400 infected, only two are vaccinated people, demonstrating how effective the vaccine is. The vast majority are children, many of whom are under 5yo, and teens. https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/measles-outbreak-2025
  14. About a minute of various clips.

  16. Pretty sure everyone knows about the Orwellian order for the Smithsonian to remove their "inappropriate ideology" already, but it also sounds like they're ready to start putting Confederate traitor statues back up. It also requires the interior secretary to reinstate monuments, memorials, statues and similar properties that have been removed or changed since Jan. 1, 2020, to β€œperpetuate a false reconstruction of American history, inappropriately minimize the value of certain historical events or figures, or include any other improper partisan ideology.”
  17. Countries That Have Issued U.S. Travel Warnings https://www.newsweek.com/portugal-issues-travel-warning-us-2051891
  18. My gawd, get out.
  19. Username checks the fuck out. I was just looking at photos/videos. Terrible shit. Edit: Godspeed, bro. I hope you don't lose your home -- really sorry this happened. I'd be freaked out right now if I were in your shoes.
  20. My guess is he's just persecuting them for their religion. "SHARIA LAW!!!" Gov. Abbott announces third investigation into East Plano Islamic Center, citing 'potential' fraud A third investigation into the East Plano Islamic Center is underway, with claims from Gov. Greg Abbott the group could be misleading investors who've purchased land in an upcoming project β€” though the governor did not provide details as to how. The Texas State Securities Board is conducting an investigation for "potential failures to comply with applicable state and federal securities requirements," including protections against fraud, Abbott said Thursday. β€œThe group behind the proposed East Plano Islamic Center compound may be misleading investors,” Abbott said in the press release. β€œDefrauding Texans will not be tolerated. The Texas State Securities Board is conducting a thorough investigation to ensure Texans are protected from financial harm that is alleged to have been caused by EPIC." Abbott did not give further details as to what state and federal securities requirements may have been violated and has not responded to repeated requests for comment about EPIC in recent days. Thursday's announcement comes after two separate investigations launched this week prompted by the governor and Attorney General Ken Paxton against the mosque and its project "EPIC City." The development would be located in Josephine, a city about 40 miles northeast of Dallas. It includes a new mosque, more than 1,000 single and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and a community college. Abbott has repeatedly accused the mosque without evidence of promoting "Sharia law" β€” referring to a body of religious laws forming part of the Islamic traditions, which itself has been the target of conservative legislators across the country. KERA News reached out to the East Plano Islamic Center for a comment and will update this story with any response.
